Below are the candidates standing for election for our next set of school leaders. Each of the nominated Year 5 students presented a speech to their peers at a special assembly yesterday. Voting took place, immediately following the assembly. Student votes will be counted tomorrow by Miss Odefey and a parent representative. The long awaited announcement will be made during the Principal’s Awards Assembly on Monday.
You may be aware that there has been a NSW Health alert issued for the Georges River since Saturday 23 November 2013. This alert has now been updated. The current alert is: NSW Health continues to recommend people avoid all contact with the Georges River between Glenfield Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Liverpool Weir until further advice. Testing results show that there are no longer signs of contamination below the Liverpool Weir. However, NSW Health recommends that people avoid primary contact activities, such as swimming, water skiing and jet ski riding in the Georges River from the Liverpool Weir to Botany Bay until further notice.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Bronze, Silver and Gold Level Awards
The cut off date for level awards for 2013 was last Friday 29 November. Any student bringing in awards from now until the end of the year will not be presented with their certificate until next year. As in other years, medallions will be presented to students at our special Celebration Of Learning. Please ensure your child brings in his/her bronze, silver or gold certificate if they have already received one and are progressing to the next level.

End of Year K-6 Excursion
On Monday 16 December, all children in K-6 will be going to Dumaresq St Cinemas to see “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2” for our end of year excursion. Permission notes were sent home Friday and need to be retuned to the office along with $11.50 payment by Thursday 12 December. No payments can be accepted after this date as cheques need to be drawn and signed for the final student numbers.
