Term 4 Week 3 Newsletter 33 2nd November 2018 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It looks like our Summer weather has arrived early for us and things are getting very hot at

school. I have been very impressed with the choices our kids have been making during

lunchtimes, making sure they are in the shade, wearing hats, drinking plenty of water and using

the library and computer rooms. It is probably a good time though to check that names are still

in hats as they often rub off tags over time.

A huge thank you to our P&C for their effort and organisation of the Bunnings BBQ last

weekend. It is a huge amount of effort to organise the rosters and all the supplies to the extent

that the soft drinks were bought weeks ago when they were on special. We really appreciate the

support and the funds raised will be going towards new shelving for our library.

This week, our very own Monica ventured to Sydney to compete at the state athletics

competition. Racing students who train professionally, run in spikes and were comfortable using

starting blocks, our very own Monica did Hinton proud. She not only made it through her heat

but also progressed through the semi-finals and into the state final. Congratulations Monica!

As the end of year approaches, so does the onslaught of events to overpower your calendars.

To help out and give plenty of notice we have locked in the majority of our events. We have

attempted to spread the events over the last 3 weeks of school to avoid making the silly season

any more hectic than it has to be. As you will see below, we have also moved our Presentation

Day to a 2pm start. This is after discussion with the P&C and the aim is to allow parents to only

take a 1/2 day off work rather than a full day if necessary. We are also in the process of

confirming final details for the Year 6 Farewell with info to come home next week.

Carols Night – Thursday December 6th - 6:30pm start

Presentation Day - Friday December 14th – 2pm

Start

Activities Day – Tuesday 18th December

Have a cool week!

LIBRARY NEWS

It is great to back in the library at Hinton Public School again! I real-

ly enjoyed my holiday to Canada and the northern USA. I did not see

any moose but brought back a great book, “Looking for a Moose” by

Phyllis Root and Randy Cecil, as a present for our library.

I would also like to say a big Thank You to the Walterback family for

donating some high quality books in excellent condition, including

some Treehouse, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Goosebumps books, as

well as A Dog’s Purpose and other great books. They will be in the library soon!

Keep on Reading!!
