Newsletter Term 3 – week 10
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Hello again,
It has been a busy Term 3 with so many terrific things achieved by our school with students, teachers and parents working together.
Term 4 is shaping up to be just as busy even though it is only 9 weeks long and the last week will finish for students on Wednesday 16th December.
Next term kicks off with the Special Swimming Scheme starting for Years 2 and 3 on day one and continuing for two weeks. Kindergarten transition will also continue during weeks 1-3 and then again in weeks 6 and 7. Year 6 will be visiting Woonona High School for their official orientation activities later in the term.
This will be Year 6’s last term at primary school and lots of exciting activities have been planned for them including camp in Week 7, a visit to Jamberoo Fun Park and the Year 6 Farewell in the last week.
Five of our students will be representing our school for the first time at the Wollongong Instrumental Festival which will be held on October 29. Congratulations Samantha, Joshua, Lachlan, Bridget and Leon.
Of course there will be all the usual activities with some exciting excursions already organised, fortnightly assemblies, special presentation day, end of year disco and some very special family fun activities organised by hard-working P and C.
In the meantime, have a restful and enjoyable beak and I look forward to seeing you all when school returns on Monday 19th October.
Enjoy your week.
Sharyn Liddle (Principal)

Year 2 Special Swimming Program Reminder.
This program starts on the first day back in Term 4, so all permission notes and money needs to be returned well before the end of this term. The cost is $60 which covers bus fare for the ten days of the program and pool entry. We still have 22 positions open so we will be opening the program to all of Year 3. These children will receive a note today.

The Term 3 talent quest will be held this Friday between 12 and 1:00. Children wishing to participate should see Mrs D’Arcangelo as soon as possible. Parents are welcome to come along on Friday.

WEPS COOKBOOK
During the holidays remember to sift through those drawers & cupboards for your favourite receipes. Can’t decide on which recipe to submit for our cookbook – then submit a few!!!!!
Come on, lets all become involved in this exciting and delicious WEPS Cookbook. It would be fantastic if every family could put in at least one of their favourite recipes.
You can drop them off to the uniform shop on Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings or you can send them to Renee at caitlin1@aapt.net.au
Remember to have the children decorate/illustrate on an A4 sheet of paper, include your family name and children names with the recipe. Also, you can submit a name for our cookbook – the name selected will win an exciting prize. If you have any queries, please call Renee 0431 458 798.
