Long Service Leave

I will be taking Long Service Leave between 9th -20th

September. It will be an opportunity for me to have a rest

and spend some time with my family. I will be celebrating

my 20th Wedding anniversary in Tasmania with Mr Keating

and hopefully enjoying the great food and drink Tassie has

to offer.

During my absence Mrs Bronwyn Hocking will be taking my

place as Acting Principal. I know you will give her your

support as much as you do for me during this time. I thank

Mrs Hocking for stepping in and stepping up to this

challenging but rewarding role. If you have any concerns or

queries during my absence, please don’t hesitate to contact

Mrs Hocking in the office.

Kind regards,

Deb Keating

Principal

Principals Report

Hello everyone,

It is indeed a very special weekend coming, with the long

awaited wedding of Miss Pascoe on Saturday and of

course Father’s Day, where we spoil all the Father figures

in our lives.

Swimming begins!

Our annual swimming program started this week and has

been a great beginning, with our new venue, Eltham

Leisure Centre. It is a far better facility with modern

equipment and easier change rooms. The students and

teachers have definitely given it the thumbs up! The

quality of the teaching program is much improved and

the indoor surrounds makes it just that bit more

comfortable for everyone. The extra bit of water play

time is also a winner!

Hooptime

Today our Grade 5-6 students headed off to compete in

the annual basketball Hooptime program. We wish them

luck and thank Mrs Stott and Ms Ball for coaching. Stay

tuned to the Facebook page for information and progress

updates!

Camp 2019 and 2020

Sovereign Hill camp 2019 will come up quickly being the

first week back in term 4. Please ensure all payments for

camp have been finalised asap, all medical forms for

camp have been returned for every student and students

have their shoes and socks in a labelled plastic bag as

soon as possible. The more time we have to look at the

information on the medical forms, the more we can

prepare to ensure your child’s needs are met and are

comfortable.

For those parents who know they will have student(s)

attending camp in 2020, we are due to go to Canberra.

The cost of this year’s camp was cheaper, as we knew the

cost of Canberra is high. Canberra Camp 2020 will cost

$520.00 per student. We hope that letting parents

know almost 12 months out will help with ensuring

saving plans or regular payment plans so that the cost is

not a surprise in term 3 2020. We always suggest parents

pay regular payments to cover camp over the year. The

school gives parents over 9 months notice (fees are on

the school invoices from first day of school each year) to

ensure it is not left to the last minute to pay. We highly

encourage parents to take advantage of the 12 months

notice and when possible begin making payments.

Hi All thank you for your support with our Chocolate

drive. If you feel you can sell another box of chocolates

feel free to see Di in the office.

Thank you to all the Families who have paid, but

some are still outstanding. Please ensure payment is

finalised as soon as possible. Thank you.
