Dear Parents, carers and community members,

CWA International Day Congratulations to all Year 4 students who prepared a project on Papua New Guinea for CWA International Day. Mr McGrath and Mr Tyrrell were very pleased with the quality of the projects. Mrs Bell accompanied four students to represent our school at the Bonny Hills CWA Day. She was very impressed and proud of their efforts and delivery of their speeches. SPORTING EVENTS Our school has been represented at many different sports over the last few weeks with some very impressive results. Congratulations to students on their skill, effort and sportsmanship. I would also like to acknowledge the very dedicated staff who give up so much of their personal time to train and manage teams and individual students, ensuring they have access to a wide range of sporting opportunities. Thank you to our families who transport, cheer and support, not only their own children but their fellow team mates. ANZAC DAY Our school Anzac Day ceremony will be held next Friday, 12th April at 10.45am near the flagpole. Student Council representatives will co-ordinate the ceremony with student buglers involved. Parents and carers are welcome to attend.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

VISION: North Haven Public School, in partnership with our community, promotes and provides a dynamic, future-focused learning environment fostering equity and excellence. Our school will deliver opportunities for every

student to become a successful learner and a caring, confident, creative individual.

EASTER CELEBRATIONS Families are invited to school next Wednesday 10th April for what will be a fun morning at school with our K-2 Hat Parade and Stage 2 Eggshibition. The canteen will host a delicious morning tea and the P&C will draw their Easter raffle. There will also be a guessing competition to guess how many easter eggs are in the jar. Tickets are $1.00 and the prize is the jar of eggs! WALK-A-THON Our walk-a-thon will be next Thursday and I look forward to welcoming families to join their child’s class, wearing their most comfy walking shoes.

Clean Up the School Day Our term 1 clean up will be held next Friday, 12th April for primary students. Students in Years 3-6 may bring rubber, disposable or gardening gloves for this activity if they wish. There should not be too much rubbish to collect if all students remember to take pride in our great school and continue to use the cool new blue mini wheelie bins for their rubbish. We believe this approach supports a clean and tidy environment for the whole year.
