Students are very busy doing their public speaking and preparing for adjudication next week. Please keep Monday 19 th September free for the final. The level of confidence I have heard in the students of Huskisson PS as they have presented their practise speeches, has been impressive to say the least. Teachers have worked hard to prepare students on the topics and guided the students in the presentation of their speeches. DOLPHIN WATCH CRUISE Please do not forget our school Dolphin Watch cruise on Tuesday next week. Students will have the opportunity to see our beautiful bay and marine life in all its glory. Thanks to the generosity of Dolphin Watch, our children are able to enjoy this experience at a discounted fee. Please remember to bring in permission notes and money prior to the day. BLUE ROOM – COFFEE, CAKE AND CHAT Finally, the official opening of our blue room is set to take place tomorrow morning after the morning assembly. We invite parents and friends to join us for a cuppa, something sweet and chat about our lovely school. This is an initiative of the KidsMatter group and is designed to get parents and friends to get to know each other even better. During this time we will discuss the entries received for the name of the new Blue Room. Students have been thinking hard and have come up with some great responses for this. NEW TEACHER Today we were informed that due to growth in our school we are able to temporarily employ another teacher. This is fantastic news for our school and the new teacher will be shared amongst classes. This person will support current teachers by team-teaching, withdrawing small groups or by allowing the regular classroom teacher to spend extra time with groups of students. SCHOOL GROUNDS Thank you to Otto and Coco’s mum, Michelle who has been working to beautify the adventure playground. The grounds are looking lovely as we head into the warmer weather. We are very fortunate here at Huskisson to have many parents who care so much about the school that they give up their own time to improve the grounds. Term 3 Week 8 8th September I would just like to let parents and community members know that parents are not able to drive onto school grounds at any time as this causes a risk of harm to students in the play- ground. Parents dropping students off and picking them up for either school or before and after school care are asked to park off site. Please also note that the neighbouring commu- nity have asked us not to park on their lawn areas. The best option is to use the NO STANDING zone in Watts Street to drop off children without parking or to park at the Soccer Fields and walk down. Thank you for your understanding on this matter. BUS SAFETY Finally, I would like to remind all families about students behaving in an appropriate manner whilst travelling on buses. This week students were reminded of the “Code of Conduct for students travelling on buses.” We are very happy to say that our students’ conduct in almost all cases is great and that the need for reminders like this are not necessary very often. CHOIR Congratulations to our wonderful choir for an awesome per- formance in the Shoalhaven Public Schools Music Festival. Your behaviour and performance was exemplary. The school and local community are very proud of you. Thank you also to Mrs Hansen, Mr Williams and Mrs Wilson who worked with the students to prepare for this performance.
