Dimboola Primary School is a Child-Safe School
GRADE 5/6 CAMP:
I was greeted with many stories about the
wonderful time the Grade 5/6 children had
whilst on camp. Stories of being able to stand
on a surfboard or of having difficulties in
manoeuvring a kayak and ending up under
low hanging branches were plentiful. Camps
are very special times with memories that are
made and kept for the rest of your life. I still
remember going to many great camps when I
was at school, which is an eternity ago!
Thanks once again to Ms Whyte, Miss
Coustley, Mr Revell, Mrs Bouts and Mr
Bolwell for the great care they took of the
students.
YEAR 6 TO 7 TRANSITION:
Students in Year 6 attended Dimboola
Memorial Secondary College on Wednesday.
The students were accompanied by Miss
Coustley and Mrs Bouts. On arrival they were
met by some familiar faces from Year 7
students and they were taken on a tour of the
secondary facilities. Following this they learnt
about aspects of schooling at DMSC. Their
next visit will be a full day visit on the 9th
November.

YEAR 6 TO 7 TRANSITION CONTINUED:
Thanks to Marcia Britten for hosting our wonderful students. I know the school seemed an
empty place in their absence.
Year 6 Students prepare to attend DMSC on Wednesday.
KINDER TRANSITION:
We hosted six kinder students on Wednesday and another six on Thursday. This was a part
of the transition program for our new Prep students in 2017. I strongly encourage kinder
parents to get their enrolment forms completed at your earliest convenience. It is only
when these forms are filled in that we can be certain on our numbers, our class
compositions and our staffing. Please complete these forms as soon as possible.

A riddle ....
If I have it, I don’t share it. If I share it, I don’t have it. What am I?

WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECKS:
As Dimboola Primary School is working towards being a child safe school there is an
expectation that volunteers and parents who are working with children will have a current
Working With Children Check. This will apply for a range of activities including:
• Volunteering to drive students to sporting events
• Going on school camps
• Helping in the swimming program
• Attending sleep overs
For volunteers, getting a Working With Children Check is a very cheap exercise and it may
be used in a range of circumstances. The process is:
• Google Working with Children Check
• Fill in the form
• Have your photo taken at the post office and post off the form.
• Wait for the card to be returned
• Submit this at the school for a photocopy to be made.

This week in 1/2 Gove we have been
learning about money in Maths. We made
shops a week ago. We did it with the
Grade1/Preps. We had The Good Paddock,
KFC, IGA, café, book shop, Toyworld, pizza
shop and fruit shop. The preps and 1’s made
an ice-cream shop. We have been very
proud of our shops and we had to count it
up. I got in the thousands.

Buy toys and gifts to help fundraise for Dimboola Primary School
Fundraising catalogues from 3 different educational suppliers have been sent home with the eldest child from each family. In each of the catalogues you will
find toys suitable for all ages and interests including art and craft, games, puzzles, role play, science, sport, water toys and much more.
What a great way to find those different Christmas presents by scanning
through these catalogues, ordering and then have the items delivered to either school or your own addresses.
By ordering from these catalogues, 20 cents of every dollar will be
donated back to school.
The ordering is easy. Simply fill in the order forms which are inside each catalogue and return them to school. We will collate and send them off to each company. Delivery is prompt and by choosing delivery to school the
charges are lower.
We will finalise orders by Friday November 25th.
Thanks for helping us to fundraise and purchase more toys to play with outside.
