Homework 2-6: A homework grid was sent home with students yesterday. Please encour-

age your children to complete their homework each week. Establishing good homework hab-

its now will help them greatly when they reach high school.

George’s Marvellous Medicine: Notes will be coming home today for this excursion to the

Manning Entertainment Centre. This is a whole school excursion with transport to the MEC

by bus.

Major Excursion: Our November excursion will now be held in Bathurst and Dubbo. We will

be looking for gold on the Bathurst Goldfields and visiting Jenolan Caves before heading to

Dubbo to see the Zoo and Dubbo Gaol. With subsidies from the school and a generous con-

tribution by the P&C, we are able to keep the costs at the same price as originally quoted;

$300 per child and $425 per adult. Notes are attached and deposits will now be taken.

Please speak to Mrs Wilson if you have any questions or concerns about the excursion.

Wizard of Oz: Roles have been cast and we have started learning lines for our play.

Please remind your children to practise their lines if they have a speaking part. The play will

be held on Thursday, 20th September at 6pm at the Mitchells Island Hall. We are having

difficulties finding large white or light coloured sheets to paint for the backdrops. If you

have any old king sized sheets that you would be willing to donate, please let us know.
