PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
The Ryde School Spectacular was held at the Opera House last Thursday evening and what an amazing and enjoyable evening it was. Ryde East students displayed their creative talents throughout the evening. Our Senior Choir sang as part of the mass choir, the dance group
dazzled with their piece ‘Mirror Mirror’ and our percussion ensemble showed their drumming skills in the song 76 Trombones. We also had students who were chosen to feature in special performances on the evening. Congratulations to Jocelyn (5/6B) who was a
member of the vocalist group and Amy (6J), Alisa (4B), Erika (5/6W) and Elyssa (4B) who danced in the combined Jazz Group. I was very proud of all of our students and would like to thank Mrs McConnell, Mrs Turner, Miss Mitchell, Mrs Small and Joe Gould for their dedication and commitment in providing these opportunities for our students.

GRANDPARENTS DAY
Our celebration of Grandparents Day last Friday was lovely. We had over 100 visitors who shared the morning with us and the students thoroughly enjoyed showing off their classrooms and work with our special visitors. Thank you to everyone who travelled from near and far to join us for assembly and morning tea. A special thank you to our P&C helpers for providing refreshments. We hope to see everyone back again next year.

WORKING BEE FOR YEAR 3 FAMILIES Our group of 40 parents, grandparents and enthusiastic children achieved a lot last Sunday. Completed tasks included:
Raking and clearing leaves from the playground and drains
Spreading mulch over patches of bare dirt in the grass quadrangle
Weeding and watering gardens Washing playground seats and tables Clearing leaves from the tennis courts and
pressure cleaning black mould from the surface Re-setting uneven pavers around the tennis
court shelter
Thank you to all the year three families who came and did so much for our school grounds, and to our class parents who organised a great morning tea and sausage-sizzle (with bacon as well!) for lunch.
That was the last of our working bees for 2016 and I thank all who have come at any time throughout the year. The school is a better place because of our efforts.
Year 5 families will be interested to know our first working bee next year is scheduled to be for next year’s Year 6 on Sunday 26th February 2017.
