Principal’s Report… Production Congratulations, once again to all our students and staff for their tireless commitment and effort to ensure our whole school ‘In My Dreams’ production was an outstanding success. It was wonderful to chat with parents and share with them, their child’s excitement and enjoyment of performing. Our talented students and creative staff were continually showcased each night. As Relieving Principal, I felt a strong connection between the students and teachers and I believe this radiated to ‘you,’ the audience. This generated an atmosphere of positive community spirit, of which I am very, very proud.

New Clinician- Joanne Carney Our first ‘Clinician’ meeting was well supported on Tuesday 20th October and I know Joanne and I were very pleased with the parent response to this new initiative. We had lots of great discussion and already, parent feedback has been very positive. Joanne is a highly trained nurse who has a wealth of medical knowledge and experience that she brings to the position. She will be working at our school each Tuesday 9-3pm, till at least the end of this year, so please don’t hesitate to ‘pop’ in and meet her as I know if she can’t help you, she will be able to support you in getting the advice you need. Our next meeting is on 3rd November, 2015 @ 9.15am in Block A. Feel free to come along, have a ‘cuppa’ and join the discussion session.

ALERT!! ALERT!! Under NO circumstances should a baby, toddler or child be left on their own in a car. This is against the law. It is an illegal practice. If you see this happening please call Green Valley Police direct on 96071799.

Art Gallery and ANZAC War Memorial As part of our school’s participation in this year’s Centennial Commemoration of the ANZAC Landing at Gallipoli, Mr Moore, Mrs Blyton and fifteen Year 6 students travelled into the city of Sydney to visit the NSW Art Gallery and the ANZAC War Memorial last week. The students looked at a series of paintings and drawings depicting scenes from World War 1 in Europe and from Gallipoli in the NSW Art Gallery. They then visited the the ANZAC War Memorial to learn more about the tradition of the ANZACs. The group had a fun, interesting and informative day and were a credit to themselves and their school, all displaying respect and outstanding behaviour throughout the day.
