ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
Thursday June 2 2016 we will be holding our
annual athletics carnival at Beaton Park. This
day is a school day and all students are expected to attend the event.
27 MAY - 3 JUNE
Beaton Park is a fantastic facility which allows
our students to experience the athletics carnival
as an authentic sporting event with real running
tracks, new and appropriate equipment for discus, shot put, long jump and high jump.
We unfortunately do not have facilities on our
school grounds that allow for such a great experience.

If you need a payment plan to assist in paying
the cost of attending the athletics carnival,
please speak to your classroom teacher.
Please ensure your child's permission
note is returned as soon as possible, regardless of paying late or using a payment plan.
It is essential we have your child's signed
note to attend the event.
National Reconciliation Week is an annual celebration and is a time for all Australians to reflect on our
shared histories, and on the contributions and
achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Peoples.
Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May – 3 June.
This year the theme is ‘Our History, Our Story, Our
Future’.
Students will complete activities and have discussions in regards to the theme and celebration
throughout the week. As a whole school we will
acknowledge the start of Reconciliation Week in assembly this Friday 27 May.
All students are allowed to wear mufti clothing in the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colours on this
day.
Please ensure students wear clothing that is appropriate to complete sport activities on Friday afternoon.
The cost of the carnival is $10 which covers
bus travel to and from Beaton Park and track
hire.

Going to school is important. It makes learning easier for your child and helps to
build and maintain friendships with other children.
If you are having difficulties in getting your children to school on time you should
contact the Principal as soon as possible to discuss the problem and ask for help.

We have been exploring our creative side in Wondangar this
term. We choose what we would like to paint on the iPad and
then copy it. Some of us are experts at painting Angry Birds,
guess who...

Buroo Room & Wombat Room
What’s happening in our rooms this week?
In the wombat room we are discussing babies. We would like to
extend this interest and ask that each child, if possible, bring in a
baby photo. If you would like to email it rather than bring an orig
inal, please see Amanda.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents with the
colder weather creeping up on us, please consider keeping your
child at home to recuperate when they are sick.
Birthdays
This week in the Buroo room, Beau and
Jaiden celebrated their 4th birthdays!
Jaiden - 21st May, Beau – 20th May
Reminders
Please remember to bring a spare change of clothes.

Please remember to label all of your child’s belongings, so
they can avoid being lost.

A good sun protective hat shades the head, face, eyes, ears
and neck. Bucket, wide-brimmed or legionnaire hats are
best. Baseball caps do not offer enough protection for the
cheeks, ears and neck, and are not recommended. http://

Healthy Eating
Water is the healthiest drink for children. It is also the cheapest. Most
tap water is fortified with fluoride for strong teeth too. Please avoid
packing juice, cordial, flavoured milks, up and go’s etc.
