Dear Families,
Education Week – ‘Learning Together’ Welcome to Education Week 2020 – Learning Together. I think it is safe to say, that we have most certainly been learning together. Learning new ways of adapting to an ever changing lifestyle, learning new ways of teaching, as well as learning and most importantly, learning that regardless of what stage of our life there will always be learning to do. I hope you have enjoyed the snapshots that we have posted on our Facebook page each day this week. This Friday at our K-6 Assembly I will also be presenting some special Education Week awards to four students who demonstrate outstanding leadership and role modelling on a daily basis at Bathurst South Public School. *Tessa, pictured left was absent from the ‘certificate recipient’ photograph on the right.
Peer Support As mentioned in our last newsletter our Peer Support program, will commence this week. I encourage you to ask your child/ren each Wednesday afternoon how the lesson went and what they focused on during the ses-sion.
Handballs! The P&C are selling handballs next week. They have 60 to sell at $3 each. On Monday Morning from 8:45am, 15 balls will be available for Stage 3, Tuesday is Stage 2’s turn, Wednesday Stage 1 and Thursday is Kinder. There are no pre-orders being taken, it is purely a first-in basis. Once stage allocations are exhausted, there will be no restocking. Names will be clearly written on each ball when purchased.
Accepting Local Enrolments Now We are at that stage of the year where careful planning for the upcoming school year commences. To aid us in being as organised as possible we ask any families within our school intake area, who are yet to enrol their child for Kindergarten 2021 to do so as soon as possible. School enrolment forms are available from our Front Office or can be mailed or emailed out upon request.
Keep On Track
Our ‘Keeping On Track’ winner for this week is Hayley Howes. Hayley has opted for an extra 10
minutes play with Mr McBryde as her prize. Well done!

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) News
The three expectations that we have at Bathurst South are being a Safe, Respectful and Positive Learner. This week students will be
participating in lessons focused on the expectations in class discussions.
Students will continue to collect flag stickers for their race track, to complete a lap of Mount Panorama. Students receive a blue award
when they are half way around their track and another when the lap has been completed. Students who complete a lap will be
acknowledged with participation in a no cost On Track Day. This day will be held during the last week of the term.

Well Done!
In Term 4 Bathurst South Public School will once again hold our popular Transition to Kindergarten Program over five weeks.
Parents who are planning to enrol their child to begin Kindergarten at our school in 2021 are invited to attend a special parent information session to be held at school on
Thursday 15th October commencing at 9:30am in our Art Room. We are unsure of the format of this meeting at this stage due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The Transition Program for students beginning Kindergarten in 2021 will commence on
Thursday 22nd October at 9:00am -11:00am
in our Art Room and will run every Thursday for five weeks.
Please contact our school office on 6331 1297 for further details about session times or if you would like an information letter sent home.
