“THE FUTURE IS OURS”

Newsletter

12th March 2020 Term 1 Week 7 (Issue No.3)

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

VISION: North Haven Public School, in partnership with our community, promotes and provides a dynamic, future-focused learning environment fostering equity and excellence. Our school will deliver opportunities for every

student to become a successful learner and a caring, confident, creative individual.

Harmony Day We will be celebrating Harmony Day on Thursday 19th March and ask that all students wear orange to school on this day. This will also coordinate with the Kinder Orange Colour Day. Harmony Week is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, and the successful integration of migrants into our community. Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it. The message of Harmony Week is everyone belongs. It is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.

OoSH Bus We would request that parents please

communicate any changes to students’ OoSH

routines to our front office eg. sick, not attending.

We do not receive this information from the

provider and it is important that the list of students

we have attending OoSH each day is accurate and

current.

Kanga Kids

We have introduced a new playground intitiative to acknowledge students demonstrating excellent behaviour in this setting. Staff distribute raffle tickets throughout the week to students who are showing behaviour based on our core values and are following our school rules. At each Monday morning assembly, three Kanga Kids tickets will be drawn out of the collection box. These students will receive an ice-block from the canteen. A larger end-of-term prize of a $25 gift card will also be drawn from all tickets entered at our final Monday morning assembly for the term.

Have a great week!
