PRINCIPAL’S COMMENTS

20th February 2015 ISSUE 2

Don’t forget our SunSmart Policy. Hats to be worn during

Terms 1 and 4.

Three weeks have gone by so

quickly since the start of the 2015

school year. Classes are very

active with their learning

programs, interschool sport has

begun and swimming is due to

start soon, for the senior grades.

We would like to wish all our

families celebrating Lunar New

Year on 19th February a very

Happy New Year to you all.

We have curriculum day coming

up on Friday, March the 6th,

which means the teachers will be

engaged in professional

development during the day and

Students Do Not

Attend School.

Please consider joining our

School Council to help work

towards making improvements

to our school. Being a member of

Council gives you an opportunity

to help us forge future directions

and directly influence the quality

of education that is provided for

your children. Our Council meets

once per month in the staffroom

at school, usually at 6pm for

approximately one hour. It is a

great team of people, who work

as one, to help our school.

We have 2 x 2year vacancies and

2 x 1year vacancies being

advertised. Parent self-

nomination forms are available

from the office and nominations

close Monday March 2.

Learning to swim is very

important for children and that is

why we organise a swimming

program for our students each

year.

This year the response from

parents has been slow. Please

return the ‘Expression of

Interest” note, as soon as

possible with the $50 deposit.

We need to have over 32 children

attend to make the activity viable

and to try to keep the cost down.

The cost of the lessons is

relatively cheap, but the cost of

buses is enormous. If we do not

get the required number of

children attending we will have

to cancel this program. Final

costing will be determined next

week and parents will be

informed as soon as possible.

This year we have registered with

the clean Up Australia Day

Council to take part in School’s

Clean Up Day which is next

Friday 27th February. All our

grades will be outside for some

time next Friday cleaning up.

Your child’s teacher will let you

know when they will be going out

and we invite all parents to come

along and help.

The Fundraising Committee are

holding an Easter Raffle.

To help with our raffle, we are organising an

Out of Uniform Day on

Thursday 5th March

Instead of a gold coin donation, we are asking

families in the Movelle School Community to do-

nate Easter Eggs!

The donated items will then be made into Easter

Hampers, so we can then raffle.

The raffle will be drawn on:

Thursday 26th March

Please give your donation to the

class teacher.

Thankyou for your support

Raffle Tickets will be sent home soon!

Watch NEWS programs as families. Discuss topics and

encourage your child to develop opinions

about current affair issues.

Our ANZAC Remembrance Garden is progressing well.

We now have a large map of Australia finished and the

landscapers will continue work over the weekend to do

the next stage of planting. Please walk around to look

at it. We are all very proud of its development and the

students are starting to plan and rehearse for this

year’s special 100th anniversary of landing of

Australian, New Zealand and allied troops at Gallipoli.

It was the start of the ANZAC tradition that has

become so important to Australian history.

ANZAC GARDEN—PROGRESS

Next Thursday at 3pm, we are inviting any interested

parents / carers to join us in a meeting to discuss how

we can tidy up our garden areas to make the outdoor

environment look great. Everyone is invited, bring

along your ideas to give to the meeting for us to

consider.
