The day was filled with colour, parent involvement, student performance and a magnificent multicultural feast with food from many of the cultures represented at our school. The theme for Education Week 2019, was Every Student, Every Voice. It was a celebration of student empowerment and how the NSW public education system gives students the skills they need in order to have and express a voice during their own educational journey and as engaged global citizens. Thank you to our teachers, students, families and community members who all came together to celebrate public education. ATHLETICS CARNIVAL Our athletics carnival on Monday at Rosford Street Reserve was again an outstanding success. After some concerns about the weather in the days leading up to the carnival, the day turned out fine and it was pleasing to see the students participate so enthusiastically. Everyone had a great day and showed true Smithfield West spirit by competing fairly and to the best of their ability. Congratulations to those students who will now go on to represent our school at the Horsley Zone carnival on Wednesday 28 August. The success of the carnival was due to the extraordinary efforts of many people. Primarily I’d like to thank Mrs Bennett for her tremendous organisation and management of the carnival. Many thanks as well to the staff for their work before, during and after the day. Thank you as well to the parents, community members and friends of Smithfield West who gave of their time to help out. Finally, thank you to the parents who came along to support their children. NUT ALERT: REDUCE THE RISK! We have a number of students at Smithfield West with a severe life- threatening allergy (anaphylaxis) to nuts, peanuts and products containing nuts or peanuts. Exposure to even a tiny amount such as peanut butter on the hands of a another person who then touches a door handle, water tap, bubbler or other article that is then touched by a student severely allergic to peanuts could be enough to cause a severe reaction. Without immediate emergency medical assistance this reaction is potentially life threatening. The school has established emergency plans for the students. Part of this plan is to establish a safe environment for all students. Therefore, I am requesting that parents avoid including nuts, peanuts and products containing nuts or peanuts in lunches or snacks. Some examples of highly allergic foods are peanut butter sandwiches and muesli bars. Thank you for your assistance with this important matter.
