Respect, Honesty and Resilience

Welcome back, I hope everyone had a refreshing break and

recharged for the year ahead. School returned mid last week and it

was great to welcome our new Kindergarten for 2019. They are a

great group of kids and I look forward to ge ng to know them

be er over the coming weeks.

This week we hold our annual twilight swimming carnival on

Thursday evening. The carnival is set to commence at 4pm at the Ariah Park Pool. I would

like to remind students and parents that a endance at the carnival is recorded in lieu of

Friday. Friday is a staff and student free day so there will be no school opera ng. Should

the carnival be postponed due to weather we will run the carnival on the

Friday. Announcements will be broadcast on the Skoolbag app and our Facebook site.

Parents are reminded that the li le pool is closed un l the comple on of the mini carnival

and that all kids using the li le pool are to be supervised by their parents. The li le pool is

only to be used by non‐swimmers not compe ng in the carnival. The weather is set to be hot

so make sure you cover up and wear plenty of sunscreen.

Congratula ons to our newly elected House Captains. It is a great honour to be elected by

your peers and remember that those who elected you, look to you to set the example.

We have a lot happening this year but please feel free to make an appointment and discuss

your child's learning. My door is always open. Looking forward to a great year!
