Book Fair Windfall Our Book Fair proved to be a huge success once again through your generous

support. The Book Fair amounted $2,648 in sales which leaves our school with

$844 in commission. Students will work with Katrina Plummer in the coming

weeks to choose new books to go into our library. Thanks to Katrina for doing

such a splendid job coordinating the Book Fair, the extra hours and effort you

put in are greatly appreciated.

End of Term Assembly Our end of term assembly will be hosted on Thursday 29th June at 3:00pm. We have changed this date to enable all of our students to attend as some of the

grades have commitments on Wednesday 28th June that would prevent them

from attending. At our final term assembly we will be presenting the Dolphin

Award and Attendance Certificates. We look forward to seeing a large turnout

to assist us in celebrating and acknowledging the students receiving these

awards.

Parent/Teacher Interviews Thursday 29th June Included with this weeks newsletter are the login details and instructions to

book your end of semester interviews. The online booking platform will be open

today and I encourage all parents/guardians to making a booking to touch

base with your child’s teacher.

The focus of the interview will be related your child’s report which you will

receive on Monday 26th June. The partnership between home and the school is

an imperative one and parent attendance at the interviews provides a great

opportunity to celebrate your child’s achievements, clarify any comments in

your child’s report and it ensures there is a common understanding of how we

can work together during Semester 2 to achieve your child’s social, emotional

and academic goals.

If you experience any technical difficulties when making your booking please

touch base with the office or your child’s teacher and we can assist you with

scheduling a booking time. Further to this, if the date of the 29th doesn’t work

for you please contact your teacher to organise a time and date that works for

both of you.

All interviews will be conducted in the Senior Learning Centre with each of the

5 classroom hosting 3 teachers for interviews. On the night please make your

way into the foyer area of the building and signs will be placed inside the

building to guide you as to which class to visit.

District T-Ball Carnival coming to WPS We will host the Inaugural District T-Ball Carnival this Friday, 16th June from

11:15am to 2:15pm. Bass Valley and Newhaven College will be joining us and

we look forward to hosting them. Well done to Mr Rankin for getting the ball

rolling on this Carnival, the successful boys and girls teams will qualify for the

Gippsland Carnival next term. On other matters it’s great to see Mr Rankin back

and firing after being hit in the eye from a ball last week whilst taking T-Ball

practise.

Kind Regards

Wonthaggi Primary School is now a FarmGate! FarmGate Online is a healthy way to Fundraise while also supporting local farmers and producers. By ordering your fruit and veggies online and collecting them from Wonthaggi Primary School, 10% of the value of your order goes to the school as fundraising.

So how does it work:

• Go to www.farmgate.online and click Sign In. You'll be asked to provide some essential information to join up to the site.

• Join the Wonthaggi Primary School FarmGate.

• Browse and select from our range of produce boxes or choose the fruit and veg your family like best.

• Place your order Monday night by 8pm and pay online using PayPal or Bank Deposit.

• We pack your order and deliver it to Wonthaggi Primary School for collection Thursdays at 3:30pm from outside the Art Room.

• 10% of the value of the orders picked up from school is then paid to the school’s fundraising account.

Wherever possible, our produce comes from local farmers. If we can't source a product from the local area, we source as locally as we can. We only purchase Australian produce!

We keep packaging to a minimum and ask our customers to return the delivery boxes for collection from the school so we can reuse and eventually recycle the packaging.
