September 18, 2014 Dear Parents, Carers and Friends of Our Lady`s

September 18, 2014
Dear Parents, Carers and Friends of Our Lady’s Primary School,
As we approach the end of Term 3, I want to thank you all for your continuing efforts on behalf of our
school and the students in our care. I hope the coming holidays will be an opportunity for you to rest
and relax and spend time with family and friends. As mentioned at the beginning of this term, this
will be the final paper copy sent home with students, as the newsletter will be available
electronically via Skooolbag or from our website next term.
Footy Day: Tomorrow is an opportunity to celebrate all our football codes - AFL, rugby, soccer and
gridiron to name a few. Be sure to promote your allegiance and we will lunch on sausages on bread –
a true football diet. The parade will occur after recess (11.30am) so if you have some spare time
come along and have a kick of the footy.
Please remember that school finishes after lunch tomorrow at 2:30pm
Not returning in 2015? If your child is not returning for the 2015 school year can you please inform
the school in writing at you earliest convenience.
Staff News: During the holidays Ms Moate (Prep M) is lucky enough to be getting married. We wish
Amy and Jordy (the lucky man) many happy returns for the day and a joy filled and prosperous life
with lots of kids !
Birthday wishes to all of these children who have celebrated their birthday this
week and during the holidays: Kathryn 4M, Aiden 2S, Jack 6T, Shenan 2a, Lachlan
6V, Hayley 1L, Senara 3D, Rita 1L, Shanelle 2E, Carlo Prep C, Mikayla 1D, William

ATTENTION ALL PARENTS : THESE LUNCHES ARE BEING THROWN
AWAY IN THE GIRL’S TOILETS ON A REGULAR BASIS , IF THEY LOOK
FAMILIAR PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER , AS THEY ARE
CAUSING ISSUES WITH OUR TOILETS NOT TO MENTION THE WASTE
OF A GOOD HEALTHY LUNCH.
LYREBIRD PARK YEAR 4 CAMP: The overnight stay at Lyrebird park
was a great experience for those who attended. There were some
exciting activities, great food and hot showers. I even got some sleep, which was a bonus when
sleeping with twenty boys! Special thanks to Mrs Collum, Miss Dowd, Miss Elia, Miss Torzillo, Mrs
Croughan and Mrs Collings for their support of the camp program.
Looking forward to seeing everyone for day 1 term 4 on Monday October 6th.

SNAPS FROM YEAR 4 CAMP:LYREBIRD PARK
As you can see there were some great indoor and outdoor activities, but the best part of camp
was going down to the girls’ cabins Friday morning and waking them up !!!!!!
