Dear Parents and Carers Swimming Scheme has come to an end for 2015 so I would like to thank all the organising and participating teachers for their
contribution to this very important program. We hope that all the children acquired skills that will allow them to enjoy the
beaches, waterways and swimming pools and most importantly keep them safe.
Kindergarten Transition
Our Kindergarten transition program is running smoothly and feedback to date has been very positive. If you have relatives,
friends or neighbours that are sending their child to school but have yet to enrol please encourage them to enrol as soon as
possible
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
In Semester One 2016 we plan on trialling a BYOD initiative in two Year 6 classes. Mrs Smith is presenting a parent information
session on October 27 at 7pm and again on October 28 at 9:15am in the school staffroom. If you have any interest or concerns
please attend the sessions so we can respond to your questions. Basically the advantages of having children bring their own I-
Pad or other tablet means easy and quick technological access to areas of study the class is conducting. Information about BYOD
will also be sent out in the newsletter. Luckily for us we have learnt a great deal through the trials and research conducted in
hundreds of schools over the last 3 years. Once a 6 month trial and evaluations are completed in 2016, a decision will be made
as to whether we extend the initiative or cancel it entirely.
End of Year Presentation Assemblies I know parents like to know well in advance about Presentation Day dates and times. We will be conducting three Presentation Day Events: 1. A Y3-6 Awards Ceremony to be conducted at 9.15am on Wednesday 9 December. The audience for this event will be all primary students and parents who are able to attend. 2. A K-Y2 Awards Ceremony to be conducted at 11.45am on Wednesday 9 December. The audience for this event will be all K-Y2 students and parents who are able to attend. 3. The Y3-6 Sports Presentation Ceremony will be held at 9.00am on Friday 11 December.

Walkathon
On Thursday 12 November we will be having our annual Walkathon. The aim of this day is to raise money to fund projects at the
school. Last year we raised $20 000 which went towards air conditioning in several classrooms. The Walkathon will take place
from 9:30 – 11:00. Kindy will walk around Bill Walley Reserve, Stage 1 around the artificial grass at school, Stage 2 will walk on
the footpath around the lower part of the school and Stage 3 will walk down to Tindale Reserve in Short Street where all the
children will complete 15 laps. No K-4 student will be crossing roads at any time.
Walkathon sponsorship cards will go home soon and every student is encouraged to ask family and friends to sponsor them for
every lap they complete.

Create South
This week I was lucky enough to perform in this year’s showcase performance of Create South- “Lunacy- Mayhem on the Moon”.
I was selected as part of the drama group and played the role of “Clive Fabbot”- mayor of the moon. I got to wear a fat suit
which was fun and added to the character. Create South brings children from various Sydney Public Schools together. The cast is
selected after auditioning in the fields of Drama; Dance; Choir; Band; Technology and Art. Over 300 students auditioned for a
drama spot and only 22 were selected.
Each day roughly about 180 students attended Sutherland Public School where we had three days to write the story, plan the
scripts, do all the art work and technical details such as film sequences and video covers and learn all the dances and songs. This
was the 16th
year for Create South and the main performance was held at the Sutherland Entertainment Centre.
It was so much fun and I met lots of great people. I really enjoy drama and one day hope to entertain the world.
