STAGE 3 NEWS!

Year 6 fundraiser—Year 6 vs teacher netball game:

Year 6 will be holding a mufti day and cake stall, as well as playing a game of netball against the

teachers in front of the rest of the school to raise money for their Year 6 farewell and end of year

activities. On Friday 21st September, all students K-6 are asked to wear mufti to school

for the day in exchange for a gold coin donation. This gold coin donation will also allow

them to watch the Year 6 students compete against a team of teachers in a netball

match. During the netball match we will have Year 6 students running a cake stall for

students to purchase items from as they watch the game.

We would appreciate any donations of items for us to sell at the cake stall. Items could

include cakes, cupcakes, doughnuts, biscuits, toffees, slices, jellies and any other sweet

treats students may wish to donate. All donations should be taken to Mrs Hudson’s classroom on Friday

morning. All money raised from this fundraiser will go towards the Year 6 farewell and end of year

activities. We thank you in advance for your kind support of this fundraiser.

Year 6 Fun Day:

Year 6 Fun Day will be held in Term 4 on Tuesday 13th November (Week 5).

Year 6 students are encouraged to start thinking about what activities they might

like to run and who they might wish to work with on the day. We will soon be

asking for donations of prizes and other items needed for the day. Some items

include sweet treats to sell at the cake stall, soft drinks, plastic cups, straws,

lollies, coloured hair spray, face paint and face painting equipment and tattoos to name a few. We will

keep you posted with more information as the day approaches.

Gold awards:

Students are reminded that when submitting Gold Awards, as well as sending in the next 5 awards that

are being counted towards their next Gold Award, students must also provide their last Gold Award that

was received. This then allows Mrs Hudson to easily identify which Gold Award is to be written up as the

next achievement. Many students have been sending their awards in without their last Gold Award

which makes if difficult to know which Gold Award they are up to as their next achievement. Students

are also reminded that participation awards are not able to be counted towards gold awards. Awards of

merit, achievement or other significant awards are accepted and must display the Samuel Terry Public

School logo. For more clarification please see Mrs Hudson.

Homework:

Stage 3 students are reminded about the importance of completing set homework tasks including online

activities set by classroom teachers. All students who have made payment for the software package

have received their passwords for the online learning tools. Students are encouraged to log onto these

websites/apps and complete any tasks that have been set by classroom teachers, as well as explore the

wonderful activities available at their own leisure. These online learning tools support learning that is

occurring at school each day and help to reinforce concepts to students in a fun and engaging way.

(Stage 3 coordinator)
