KIALLA CENTRAL PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Page 3

Firstly, I would like to thank our parents for your co-operation in accommodating our short week. On Friday, our Curriculum Day was with Rob Vingerhoets who is a renown Maths consultant. It was a very beneficial with us getting a great insight into refining our teaching practices of mathematics. Our partnership with Kialla West continues to grow ensuring positive experiences for our staff for our professional learning. Thank you, Westies!

On ANZAC Day Angus and Callea represented Kialla Central Primary School at

the 11.00am Memory Service in Shepparton. They laid another gorgeous Native Flower wreath from Therese Nicholson owner of Blooming Buckets. I would also like to thank the Kerr and Fepuleai families for giving up their time to for this very special event.

Yesterday we had our first visit from Teeth on Wheels, a mobile dental service. The students were surprisingly excited about a visit the dentist. I am aware of some parents

being contacted at inappropriate times of the weekend which I will be talking to them about to improve this process. I pass on my apologies for this inconvenience. Parents / Carers will be contacted directly from the service to inform you if further follow up is required with a local dentist. The service will return in 6 months.

On Friday 3rd May, our students in Grades 3 to 6 will participate in the EGPSSA’s Cross Country at Lake Victoria. Our time frame to

prepare for this event through our House Cross Country at school has been limited by the holidays. Students will be leaving school at 12.15pm with the first event of the 10 and Under boys and girls starting at 1.00pm. Parents are welcome to come down and support our school. I also need some more helpers to marshal on course to make sure the students are running the right way and are safe. Please let me know if you can help—thanks! Our Pie Drive Fundraiser will be delivered on Wednesday 1st May. Orders can be collected in the Library from 3.00pm to 4.00pm. If you are unable to collect them yourself, please ensure you have alternative arrangements in place, as we simply don’t have the fridge space to store them for you. Thank you for your support as we raised over $400. I would like to acknowledge Charlie and his staff from Fiores Bakery Café.

Speaking of pies, our hot lunch days won’t start until after swimming. I will include

further information for our new families on how our hot lunch program works. This will also be a good reminder for our old families too.

Thursday 25th April was the traditional ANZAC Day match between the

Sunday saw the Hawks play the Blues in Tasmania where the Hawks came out

the winners by just 5 points. To complete round 6 the Cats took on the Eagles at

GMHBA Stadium in Geelong. The Cats had a big win at home winning by 58

points.

Footy Tipping Stars of the Week – for round 6 were – Bomber 10, Diggers Roo

Boys, Magic Magpies, Narkle, Pie Time, The Bolt and Two Tigers who were all

clever enough to tip all 9 games correct so needless to say the Jackpot has gone

off for the first time this year. There were also 9 tippers who tipped 8. Well done

to all these tippers.

Footy Tipping Ladder Leaders – at the completion of round 6 are: - Fairy

Princess on 35. On 34 are Rosie Z. and Cooper L, and on 33 is Magic Magpie.

The Jackpot stands at $25.00

Good tipping everyone!

A WORD FROM MAGIC MAGPIES

Bomber 10 failed to mention another set of black and white ribbons will be

added to the Buckley/Thompson Trophy we have in our entry at the office. This

trophy was started to honor our ANZAC Day rivalry between Bomber 10 and

Magic Magpies! Once Bomber 10 has added the new ribbons, I encourage you to

come in and count the ribbons. More heartache for you Bomber 10!

Miss Baker has a Tigers scarf on this week too … poor Dees!
