Term 3, Week 5

Principal Report

We are now firmly at the halfway mark in term 3. The teachers continue to provide quality education to your children which can be seen on all of their smiling faces as I walk around the school. Lots of excursions and experiences have taken place in the last few weeks with a lot more to come.

Last week on Wednesday 10 August our local Mayor, Peter Walker came to visit. He was promoting National School’s Tree Planting Day. There was great discussion with our school leaders about the importance of trees, the role that bees play in our food cycle and how we can assist our environment. Later, we went outside and planted a native flowering gum in our Caroline Chisolm Garden. A huge thank you to the council for providing the tree and for the mayor to give up his time to visit us. It was wonderful to see the smiles on the children’s faces as they helped plant our new tree.

On Friday 19 August, Our Year 5 and 6 students went on an excursion to the Goulburn Performing Arts Centre to see ‘Barbaroi’. It was an acrobatic and circus themed show. I know the students and teachers all really enjoyed it. From all of the teacher’s thoughts I think I have to go and see it now!

After a few years of not being able to be held, the Goulburn Community of Public Schools (GCOPS) will be having their annual showcase next week. Our school will be performing on Wednesday 24 August. I can’t wait to see all the hard work that the students and Mr Waterman have put in. I know it will be amazing!

Our Book Week Parade is next Thursday 25 August. It will start by 10am. All visitors onsite will need to sign in at library gate. There will also be a cake stall on the day so bring along some extra money to buy some goodies. All proceeds will be going to our library to get much needed resources.

The Country Women’s Association are offering educational grants of $250 to eligible students in Year 6. The criteria are based on how the student has demonstrated a commitment to school life, their community and how this grant may benefit them in their studies. For more information, please contact me at the office.

The Regional Athletics Carnival will be held on Friday 2 September. We wish our 3 competitors, Riley, Dekkoda and Emily all the best as they take on students from around the area.

Our playground continues to be in the middle of an upgrade. The concreting work around our hall is nearly finished. It looks amazing. The students are all excited to see the finished product. We can’t wait. A big thank you to Paul and his crew for the wonderful work they have done.

The school continues to send out the current guidelines of Covid-19 and the appropriate measures that we need to take. Please read those carefully as they change quite quickly.

Lastly, when I walk around the school, I see a lot of students working well and enjoying their learning. It is great to see. If you have any questions, please feel free to see me. My door is always open.

Attendance

Parents of children from Kindergarten to Year 12 must ensure their children attend school every day. On occasion, your child may need to be absent from school. 

Parents must provide an explanation for absences to the school within 7 days from the first day of any period of absence. Where an explanation has not been received within the 7-day timeframe, the school will record the absence as unjustified on the student's record. As part of school protocol you will be contacted by a staff member after two days of absence without explanation.

Confusion With Online Payments

There has been a bit of confusion when paying for certain events/activities/uniforms online.

The school events and activities are separate to the P&C run uniform shop. 

If you are purchasing uniforms – this is to be paid to the P&C account – their details are on their price lists. 

All other payments to the school for excursions/activities/sports etc are to be paid to the school account which the link is found on our school website.

https://goulburn-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/

then go to: MAKE A PAYMENT

There has been lots of mixed payments and it is making it difficult to reconcile accounts.  If you are unsure at all, please call the office on 48212827, and we can confirm for you.

We do not want any student to miss out on any activity due to payment not being received.

Premier's Sporting Challenge

Our school is participating in the Premier’s Sporting Challenge (PSC) again this year. The PSC aims to get more students and staff more active, more often. Students record and track their physical activity over a 10 week period commencing in Week 4. At school, students will record the amount of physical activity they participate in each day. Students will be provided with many opportunities to engage in physical activity at school, however, even physical activity done at home or on the weekend counts! At the end of the 10 week period, students will be awarded with Bronze, Silver or Gold certificates depending on how much physical activity they have done.

Let’s encourage our kids to increase their participation in sport and physical activity, which will lead to healthier, more active lifestyles.
