You will need to return a signed “Intention to Apply” form (which is attached below) to school by April 12th
You will need to apply on the internet using a valid email address (not the student’s email address).  Online Applications open on April 30th.

This term, our school is taking part in the Tell Them From Me student survey. The survey is for students in Years 4, 5 and 6 and will provide us with ongoing feedback on what our students think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. The survey is completed on-line and is run by an independent research company, The Learning Bar, which specialises in school-based surveys.  The survey is voluntary and anonymous.  If you do not want your child to take part in the survey, please complete the parent form and return it to your  school by Tuesday 9th April.

Our “No Food Sharing” practice includes the gifting of Easter chocolates and food.  All families are asked to support us.  Cards, stickers and tokens are alternative ways in which staff, students and community members can recognise the season of Easter.

We are seeking a parent who is willing to coordinate the collection, counting and recording of stickers between 1st May and 25th June.  If you are able to assist, please contact the office.

Just a reminder that it is the responsibility of parents  to notify the school of any changes to their details. This includes phone numbers, addresses etc.  It is also important to notify the school of any changes to any new or revised medical issues eg. allergies, changes in asthma plans or implementation of asthma plans, anaphylaxis plans.

If you need to update any details please contact the office either in person or by email: sutton-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au           

Sutton Public School is always keen to acknowledge the great work done by our students.  Often the school presents/publishes or displays students work within the school (eg classroom, hall, foyer) and outside the school (eg CWA hall, library, local businesses).  Students are identified only by first name and last name initial only.   If you DO NOT give permission for your child’s work to be displayed in this manner, please notify the office.

Any parent seeking consent for disability adjustments to support their child to participate in the program or parents seeking consent for exemption and withdrawal from the NAPLAN Assessment Program must contact the principal and complete the appropriate forms by Friday 5th April.       

Disney Day has raised $265 for our World Vision child in Cambodia, Varin. 

A big thank you to our Term 1 SRC members for organising such a fun day!

This year the School Sport Australia Track and Field Championships are being held in Darwin BEFORE the NSWPSSA Championships in Homebush.

 A selection trial will be held at Homebush on Thursday 8 August.  Students must nominate for this as individuals using times/ distances/ heights from school, district or Little Athletics (or similar).

If your child has students exhibited high achievements in athletics and you are interested in nominating them for this event, can you please contact Denise Campbell for the nomination form.

Please ensure all students are aware that this is a nomination form only - it does not guarantee participation at the trial as strict entry limits apply.  All students nominating must be available to attend the School Sport Australia Championships in Darwin.

  Our latest newsletter is included in this bulletin. We would like to inform you that we will not be operating our Adventure Squad Holiday Care program from Sutton Primary school for these April School Holidays.

With Easter and the Anzac Day public holidays it only leaves seven days of care over the two week break, so a lot of families decide not to access formal holiday care arrangements, so numbers are lower. Due to these circumstances and others the YMCA Management team have decided to operate five Vacation Care sites these April School Holidays only.

Information about these other holiday care options have been available for families at the information area at the OSHC program and by asking educators at the program, or they can look on the YMCA website.
