This is a shorter newsletter than usual as we will also send out another one next week to update you on any developments for 2017. This year has certainly been a busy one with many great achievements, either individually, as a group or team, or as a whole school. Don’t forget Community Night tonight - students to classrooms at 5.30pm & families to the gym at 6pm.

The past few weeks we have been finalising class placements for next year. It is hoped that students will be able to visit their new classroom on the last day of school to see where there classroom is and to meet the people in their class—this may or may not include their teacher which depends on staffing being completed. Hopefully this will help lower any anxiety students have about their new class next year. Notices will be sent

home that day for parents/carers.

Reports for students in mainstream and special classes will be sent home this

Friday.

HEALTHY EATING POLICY

It is timely to remind everyone of our school’s healthy eating policy. We have a whole school approach to learning, health and wellbeing in relation to food and nutrition which ensures students experience and practise healthy eating. The policy states that effective learning about healthy eating must be supported in all aspects of the learning

environment. This means:

Our canteen only provides food and

drinks according to DECD guidelines

‘Food and nutrition’ is taught in all classrooms as part of the Health and

PE curriculum

Food and drinks are not given as

rewards or treats to students

Food/drinks which are highly processed, energy dense and nutrient poor can only be provided on a

maximum of two occasions a term

Teachers will send a note home if they are having a class party and require children to bring food. Please do not send any other food for sharing without

first talking to your child’s teacher.

Sports News Congratulations to all of the students who played Netball, Soccer and Basketball this year. We had some great games and fantastic results. We also had a number of students try out for SAPSASA sports and a couple who were lucky enough to represent our school and district in their chosen sports. We would like to wish our school Basketball team good luck for their grand final on Monday afternoon. Go Clovelly! Jess Smith PE Teacher
