LEARN TO SWIM LESSONS COMMENCED THIS WEEK Our 10 day intensive learn to swim lessons have commenced. The students from grades 1 - 4 will be
accompanied to the pool each day by Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Tiedeman and Mrs. Anderson. Students
will travel by bus for most of these days however, we do need the assistance of parents for the days
when the bus is not available. Thank you to those parents that have offered to assist we appreciate
your help. Information about what students need each day was ent home last week. Swimming will
go ahead regardless of the weather as it is the indoor pool at Kurri. 40 students have signed up for this
important skill.
F INAL SURVEY FOR THE YEAR Included in the bulletin is our final survey for the year. It will only take a few minutes to complete.
The information from these two short surveys will be reported on in the Annual School Report and
your feedback is very important to us. Each child that returns the survey will receive a lollipop. I
would appreciate it if they were all returned by the end of this week.
P&C CHRISTMAS RAFFLE UNDERWAY Yesterday all families were sent a book of raffle tickets to sell over the next few
weeks. The prizes for this raffle are excellent and will be handy at this time of the
year. Our thanks go to Sharon Fletcher for her efforts in securing many of these
prizes from local businesses. She has certainly been very busy. Kristy Londero has
also been busy organising the raffle tickets and putting them together. There are a good variety of
prizes for both children and adults. The sheet accompanying the raffle tickets gives you a good
example of the 15 prizes on offer. The raffle will be drawn at our Christmas Concert. Tickets are $2
each or 3 for $5. Money raised will go to the P&C who have purchased Mathletics for all students in
2012. We are hoping to raise $800 to cover the cost of this important program for all our students. So
let’s get busy taking them to work or visiting your neighbours and don’t forget to buy some yourself!
Don’t forget to send in your donation of non perishable Christmas goodies
for the hamper. These can be left at the office.
COMBINED SPORTS DAY On Friday afternoon this week, year 4/5/6 will be hosting a visit from Greta Public School senior
students. We hope to play a series of minor games and get to know students who may be attending
high school with our students. We hope it will be a fun afternoon for all students involved. As a result
of this activity, we will hold our School Assembly at 11:30 that day so that our swimmers can
participate as well.
H IGH SCHOOL O RIENTATION DAY On Tuesday 6th December our year 6 students attending Rutherford Technology High school will be
attending their Orientation Day at high school. Students will spend the day in classes with students
from other schools and will experience a variety of lessons in different parts of the high school so that
they are more familiar with the larger venue and maybe meet some new friends. I am sure they will
have a great day.
VOLUNTEERS MORNING TEA Many of you would have received an invitation to our special morning tea. This is so that we can say
thank you for all your time and energy spent as a volunteer for pour wonderful school. We could not
do what we do without your assistance and support, so please try to attend to so that we can say
thank you for your help. Friday, 9th December at 10:30am.
