BUDDY PROGRAMEach year our kindergarten students are buddied up with a Year 6 child to help them familiarize themselves with the school community and build their confidence. Every Monday afternoon this “Buddy Program” takes place and the younger and the older students love the experience. The program involves reading, communicating, PE and crafty activities. When speaking with our students about the things they remember or have enjoyed, the Buddy Program is often top of their lists.

LEADERSHIP PROGRAMTwenty two students from Year 5 have joined the leader-ship program for 2019. These students have spent many hours creating their speeches to deliver to our school body on Monday and Tuesday afternoon at 2pm in the hall. This process occurs at this time of the year and each candidate is able to share information about themselves and the qualities that they would bring to the leadership team. Voting will take place on Wednesday and eight stu-dents will be elected to be part of the 2019 Leadership Team. Our Captains, Vice Captains and Councillors will be named at our Presentation Evening at the Crossing Thea-tre on Tuesday the 11th of December.

NEWSLE T TERCANTEEN NEWSWe have our new Healthy Canteen menu underway now. There has been a little bit of confusion about the (E) and (O) ratings and when they are available. Everything on the menu is available everyday except those things listed under the DAILY SPECIALS heading (which are available on the appropriate days) i.e sausage rolls - Mon-day, Pies - Tuesday, etc.The Education department has asked us to rate all the menu items - we need to have the most everyday foods (E) - foods that are OK to eat each day. We can have some occasional foods (O) on our menu everyday - the O rating is so that you as a family can make an informed choice about what your children are eating.The old canteen ratings were Green - everyday, Amber - sometimes foods and Red - special treats.This new menu has Green and Amber choices.It would really help us out if you can order from the new menu. All the new pricing will start this week Last week there were some items we kept at the same prices that will have to be charged out at the increased prices from now on.A big thank you goes out to Ms Shoobert who caught the message on our facebook page and donated us supplies of cheese and crackers for our snack cups. A very practical helping hand for the canteen. Our other available snack cups include Jelly cups, vegie and dip cups, and we have freshly made popcorn too.Phone Orders - If your children forget to pick up their or-ders at home and you want to phone them into make sure they get lunch you need to know that payment has to come in that day or the next. To also help Nikki and I out you need to phone in before 8:30am (shutters up) or after 9:20am (bell time). That 50 minute time slot is very busy here in canteen and we don’t always have time to answer the phone and write a lunch bag out.Thank you to everyone for your support, especially through this transition to a new menu.

Call canteen on 6792 1925.Thank you

Kim Owers(Supervisor) & Nikki Finn (Assistant)

Your child is invited to attend Narrabri Public School’s
