Buronga Public School Newsletter 1

Dear Parents

Thank you all for a productive and positive term. It is fantastic to see so many

parents involved in school life and making a significant contribution to your

child’s school education.

The stronger the link between school and home, the more beneficial it is for

your child. We are all working towards the same goal: providing the best

educational opportunities for your child in a safe and happy environment, so it

only makes sense that we work towards this goal together.

Written reports will be sent home on Friday. If you wish to talk to your child’s

teacher regarding the report, please arrange a time to meet early next term.

I hope you have a wonderful break and enjoy spending time with your family.

School Uniform Our new school shirts are well and truly under way, thanks to our hard working P&C. The

new option looks fantastic and I look forward to seeing students wearing the shirt in term

three.

The original school polo is still an option for purchase through the front office. This will

remain as part of our uniform for a two year period, where the original shirt is phased out

and the new shirt introduced. Please do not feel like you need to purchase new uniforms

before the ones you already have are worn out or do not fit anymore.

If you prefer the original option, these are still for sale through the front office at a cost of

$15.00.

The new shirt costs are as follows:

Child sizes - $20.00

Adult sizes - $24.00

If you wish to purchase a new shirt return the order form attached to the newsletter, with

payment. Shirts should be delivered early term three.

Skate Park Launch

The Wentworth Shire Council unveiled the new mobile skate park at Buronga Public School. Mayor, Bill

Wheeldon enjoyed watching Buronga students try the new facility. It was great to have visitors in our

school to let the community about new facilities available to our children. Great timing for the school

holidays.

Thank you to our wonderful P&C who cooked a sausage sizzle lunch for students on the day.

Just a quick reminder that I will be away until August 10th. If you have need of anything or have a question, you can speak to any of the other committee members. I will only be available through Facebook.

Enjoy your holidays!

Class News

K/1 News

This semester has gone so quickly, looking back at how much work has been covered so far.

Well done to all students in K/1 for constantly having a great attitude to learning. Keep it up for the rest of the year.

Robots should already have gone home. The students had great fun making these and we wrote about them, naming them and giving them a special power or skill. Thanks to every-one who brought boxes in.

Reader folders will not be going home over the holidays, Buronga has an excellent library and it is important that you share some quality books with your child that are not seen as "readers".

Have a great break as next term will be busy. Don't forget photo day in week 2.

Thanks, Louise

1/2 News Wow we have had some very chilly mornings this

past few weeks. It is great to see the students

coming to school dressed appropriately. 1/2 have

had some shared experiences this week that we have

been able to write about. This includes writing about

making 3D models, Superhero day and our hot chip

lunch. We are also very excited for our Rewards Day

movie tomorrow afternoon. The movie that has been

selected is Zootopia, which is PG. If you do not wish

your child to watch Zootopia please contact. Myself

or Mrs Olofsson so that alternative arrangements

can be made for your child .Thank you to the great

response for recycled items. We have designed and

made our shelters, which are looking very creative.

Readers will not be going home over the holiday

break. However this would be a great opportunity to

visit and borrow from our local library. Thank you for

your continual support in your child’s learning. It is

invaluable!

Have a relaxing and safe break.

Regards

Bernadette Hogarth

are wearing jumpers to school these frosty mornings

and that jumpers are NAMED!!! Again, please ensure

your child has plenty to eat, as appetites tend to

increase with the cold weather. A HUGE

congratulations to ALL students in 3/4/5/6 who

competed in the Mildura Eisteddfod last Monday!

They were all a credit to our school and many people

students were on the day. Both classes did a

fantastic job and a massive congratulations to grade

3/4 on coming second in their division out of six

schools! All the practice and hard work paid off! Well

done students and Mr Robinson. We will be having a

chip lunch on Thursday to celebrate with Mr

Robinson as part of our reward day. Reports will be

going home this week. If you have anything you wish

to discuss from the reports, please call and make a

time when we can discuss it with my undivided

attention. Have a safe and fantastic holiday and we

will see you all next term!!!

Lunchbox Ideas The never ending job of packing healthy lunches that kids want to eat is familiar to many of

us. Here are some great lunch box ideas to inspire you! Each lunch is prepared with foods from the

five food groups, which ensures your child is receiving all the nutrients they need to grow big and

strong.

School Lunches In support of our Health and Nutrition Policies we ask that students do not bring

sweets/lollies/chocolates to school for recess and lunch. We are also unable to allow

students to bring food in cans or food requiring boiling water to be added. This is a school

safety issue as you can imagine there have been some nasty incidents in schools involving

serious cuts and burns as a result of sharp edges on cans and boiling water.

School Photos

School Photos this year have been booked for Tuesday 26 July. This is the second week back

after term break. Unfortunately if your child is away on photo day, there is no opportunity

for catch up photos. The companies we work with to provide this service do not offer a

catch up session. All students need to wear full WINTER school uniform for photos. Our

whole school photo is hung in the foyer and anyone wearing alternative clothes would be

very obvious. Please return your photo envelopes to class teachers, ready for the big day.
