K Red Class News K Red have had a wonderful start to the term
and have learnt so much already! They have
been on a number of number hunts and are
starting to explore numbers 0-10 in depth, with
concrete materials. Can you believe that they
have learnt 14 sounds already and can blend
them to read?! K Red love learning all about
rhyming words and identifying sounds at the
beginning and end of words. They have also
been learning about concepts about print, which
involves identifying what a word is and where to
start when reading. Mrs Prior, Mrs Beneke and
Miss Perry are very lucky to have such lovely little cherubs in their class!
Canteen Closures
Thank you for your patience and support of our canteen closures whilst the roof
replacement and repairs occur. We will continue to advise you of what is happening via
the school and P&C Facebook pages and alerts via Skoolbag.
Zone Swimming Carnival
On Wednesday, 19th February we had 28 students represent our school at the
PSSA Zone Swimming Carnival. Everyone swam brilliantly and tried their hardest
and were wonderful ambassadors for our school. I was so proud of each and
every one of them on the day…a marvellous effort from all!

Uniform Our school uniform policy requires students to wear
the agreed school uniform, as a result of whole school
community consultation. This is in line with the School
Uniform Policy required by the NSW Department of
Education. The department supports the wearing of
school uniform, which promotes a sense of belonging
for students and creates a positive identity for the
school community. School uniforms also contribute to
the personal safety of students by allowing easier
recognition of students inside the school and in the
community. Our current uniform requirements are as
follows:
GIRLS Summer Uniform
- Sky blue tri-colour polo style shirt - Grey skirt/skort or grey rugby knit, cotton or cord shorts (No ‘trendy’, baggy style or below knee) -White socks, black shoes or suitable sneakers on PE days. Winter Uniform -Summer uniform to be worn with navy tracksuit OR -Sky blue long sleeved polo style shirt -Sky blue long sleeved skivvy Sports Uniform -Yellow polo style shirt -Maroon pleated skirt/skort or maroon rugby knit or cotton shorts (No trendy styles) -White socks and suitable sneakers Sports Winter Uniform -Navy tracksuit -Yellow long sleeved polo style shirt -Yellow long sleeved skivvy BOYS Summer Uniform -Sky Blue tri-colour polo style shirt -Grey shorts - grey rugby knit, cotton or cord (no ‘trendy’, baggy style or below knee) -Grey socks, black shoes, suitable sneakers on P.E. days Winter Uniform -Summer uniform to be worn with navy tracksuit or grey long pants OR -Sky blue long sleeved polo style shirt -Sky blue long sleeved skivvy Sports Uniform -Yellow polo style shirt -Maroon rugby knit, cotton or nylon shorts (No trendy styles) -White socks and suitable sneakers Sports Winter Uniform -Navy tracksuit -Yellow long sleeved polo style shirt -Yellow long sleeved skivvy
Whilst there has been some confusion over sock
colours, our uniform policy states that either white or
grey socks are acceptable. Discussion was raised at the
P&C meeting regarding black socks, but presently black
socks are not part of the school uniform. Plain white or
grey socks are school uniform.

Our school has a second hand uniform pool that is
available to assist families with uniforms if needed. Any
donations of uniforms that are still in good condition are
always greatly appreciated and can be sent into the
office.
If you are experiencing difficulty with uniform
expectations, please contact the school and we can see
what assistance is available to you.
School Photo Day School photo day is next Friday,
6th March. Photo envelopes for
each student have been sent
home with students and spare
envelopes are available. Family
photo envelopes are also
available at the office.
Students will be required to wear their normal school
uniform on this day, rather than their sport’s uniform.
We will remind you of this throughout next week.
P&C News The P&C Annual General Meeting will be held on
Tuesday, 17th March, from 6pm, in the school staff
room. All executive positions and sub-committee
positions will be declared vacant at the meeting and
elections will be held during the meeting. Proxy
nominations will be accepted; however, proxy votes will
not be accepted. The monthly P&C Meeting will be held
immediately following the AGM.
Pelaw Main Rugby League Team Last week, Pelaw Main competed in the Mark Hughes
Sheild at Kurri Kurri Sportsground. They had a very
successful day winning the Division B Sheild! Both teams
should be extremely proud of themselves, they played
exceptionally well and displayed great sportsmanship
throughout the tournament.
Year 6 EOI Forms A few weeks ago, Year 6 children were given their Expression of Interest Forms for High School. We still have a number outstanding, please ensure these forms are filled out and returned to the office ASAP as the cut of date is the 13th of March.
