minutes and then use a nit comb to remove any eggs.

Congratulations to our Year 6 debaters, Flynn Franklin Baker,

KINDER & STAGE 1 MATHS IN LIFE DAY

As part of our focus on quality teaching of numeracy this term,

Kinder and Stage 1 are holding a Maths in Life Day. This will be

held on Thursday, 14 June 2012, and parents are invited to join us.

This day will involve all students from Kindergarten and Stage 1.

The children, in class groups, will be leading the various Maths

activities. Each class will have a theme for their activity, and they

are asked to dress up on the day. The class teachers will advise you

of your child‟s theme. Students will also perform a number of

singing and dancing items for your enjoyment. The day will start

with the performances at 10.30am in the hall. We will then hold a

Sausage Sizzle lunch for the entire school as a fundraiser for

future excursions. The Maths in Life Day will be held in the hall

following lunch, and parents are invited to stay for these activities.

An order form is enclosed for sausage sandwich orders. These

need to be returned with money by tomorrow, Wednesday 13 June.

Afternoon Groups

Over the last two terms the teaching staff have enjoyed taking specialist

groups in the afternoons. Collectively, the staff have decided to make a

change for Terms 3 and 4 so that all students are with their class teacher

for the whole day rather than being split into groups. This change will

commence next week to give classes two weeks to adjust to the new

timetable. If you have any questions regarding the changes, please contact

your child‟s class teacher or our Assistant Principals, Mr Close, Mrs Smith

and Mrs Daley.

Thank you Frank Partridge VC School Community

This is my last week at Frank Partridge VC and I have enjoyed the eight

weeks working with the whole school community. You have a dedicated,

caring and supportive school staff who are proud of their students and

school. The students at your school are happy, engaged and enthusiastic

about the opportunities that are available as part of their daily learning.

Thank you to everyone for making my time as Relieving Principal here so

enjoyable.
