I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. I will keep you

updated on my travels and look forward to working with

you all again in 2019.

Robotics

Next term we have been very fortunate to borrow a

robotics kit from the Department of Education STEM

Share program. This kit will give our students the

opportunity to use a variety of educational robotic

resources for the term. There are robots suitable for

each stage in the kit. Students will learn how to code

the robots and engage in STEM challenges.

Camp

All final payments are now due for camp. Medical

notes were sent out yesterday. The medical notes

must be returned before going to camp as this is a

requirement of the camp management.

We are also organising private transport to the camp.

Please return the transport note as soon as possible

so we can have travel arrangements finalised in

Week 1 next term.

Tell Them From Me

The Tell Them From Me Parent Survey is now open.

This is an opportunity for us to gain valuable

information from parents about our school. We

would greatly value your assistance by completing

the survey. To access this survey please go to:

https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/2018lansdowne .

This link will take you directly to our survey. If you

would like to complete the survey using a school
