Dear All,
Well we are up and running and off to a flying start.
My sincere thanks to all the staff across the school
for their huge efforts to have such a smooth
transition into the new year.
Up and Coming Swimming lessons begin next week at our pool.
Please make sure that your children have all the
paraphernalia needed to keep them sun safe and
clothed. If you are able to help with organisation
and support, especially with the littlest folk we would
be very grateful.
Induction Ceremony This Friday this special ceremony will be held in the
Institute to celebrate our young folk who have been
elected student leaders for 2014. Mr Peter Treloar
MP will be attending to present badges. Mr Terry
Barnes our CEO from Franklin Harbour Council will
speak and Kane Sincock will give a short account of
his trip to Kokoda. Awards for those students who
have achieved their Duke of Edinburgh Awards will
also be presented. The ceremony will begin at 12:00
noon. Please come along if you have a few spare
moments.
Pre-service teachers I am sure all of you will remember some of the
wonderful young folk we have had across the school
in the past few years. Next week we welcome three
more: Hanna will work in the Year 6 room with Ms.
Porteous, Carly will work in the Science area and
Brooke will work in HPE and Food and Hospitality.
Families SA Today I met with Greg Bailey to discuss some of the
changes taking place within Families SA which will
hopefully support more of our young people when
they are in need.
Partnerships Meeting
Tomorrow (Thursday) I have a meeting with our
other partner schools in Lock. This will be our first
formal meeting as a partnership so it will be
interesting to establish protocols for working
together and some of the organisational issues
schools face today. This will also be a chance to
plan our student free day suggestions to take to
Governing Council for approval.
Kind regards,
Jan Potter

WHAT IS A THEATRE RESTAURANT SHOW ?
Theatre Restaurant is an entertainment package of ‘Live on Stage’ performance of music, comedy, audience participation and fun, coupled with BYO Drinks, drinking Glass, & Supper to share at your table.
SYNOPSIS Oyez,Oyez,Oyez ! Welcome back to the middle ages ! A romantic time of fair maidens and knights in shining armour ! Well, that’s how history wants us to remember it ! BUT what really happened back then ? Come with us on an action packed romp through the unknown pages of England ! Our hero is ROBIN THE HOOD ! OUR BADDIE IS THE EVIL king john! So far seems pretty normal, But what a tangled web is weaved when the other characters enter the story ! First there’s the strange Sheriff of Snottingham, who would be more at home in a spaghetti Western, then there’s the beautiful, if somewhat silly Maid Marian. As for the Merry Men, well they belong in an asylum rather than a Forest !! So, mix all these characters in with a large dollop of comedy, blend in music and song, add just a pinch of audience participation and Voila! You have “ROBIN THE HOOD “ The music is lively, including some old and some new songs to cater for most tastes. It is recommended for an adult audience, however it does not carry an “Adults Only” warning. This is an excellent evening’s entertainment – come along and enjoy , various raffles are offered, support the Skate park Fundraising Group achieve their goal .
