Thank you also to the generosity of parents who gave money towards this endeavour, as the door seals needed to be replaced at a cost of $300. Beresfield/ Thornton Anglican Parish Donation Have a safe and happy Winter break everyone. School returns for all students on Tuesday 19th of July. Winter Holiday Break Our students with the help of parents and community, are producing a quality mural to be proudly displayed on the outside of the library as you enter the school. Thank you to Ms Yeend for organising this. NAIDOC Mural During the Winter months, there is a temptation for the children to turn up in “odds and sods” of clothing. Please remember we are a uniform school and proud of it! If your child has misplaced his / her jumper, please check with the classroom and / or lost property. Uniforms & Winter Our school prides itself on the opportunities provided for all students. Creative and Performing Arts is one quality example . Last Thursday, our students had the opportunity to attend the FGHS musical. It was wonderful to see a number of our former students in key roles in that musical. It is even more fantastic to see that the skills and interests developed here at Tarro PS have continued onto High School. Well done ! FGHS Musical These will take place early next term for all classes. Your child’s teacher will send home information about times and dates to meet and to discuss your child’s progress, interests, strengths and future directions for 2016.

School Information
Sometimes students stay at home for reasons that are not acceptable like:
Birthdays
Too tired to come to
attend school because of a late night
Stay home with siblings
or parents who are sick
Staying away for a
whole day when an appointment is booked for a short time in the morning or afternoon
The weather, for
example, it’s too hot, too cold, raining.
Students staying at home for these reasons will be marked as an unjustified absence. Regular attendance helps your child develop the skills needed to access the world of work and other opportunities and learn the importance of punctuality and routine.
