VISIT FROM THE MINISTER
We are lucky enough to be hosting the Minister for
Education, Sue Ellery and also our local Member
Kevin Michel at Peg’s Creek Primary early next term.
Although a very short visit, this will be a wonderful
opportunity to showcase our school.
THANK YOU
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my
staff for their important work throughout the term and
wish staff, students and families a happy and safe
holiday.
WORK SHADOW PREFECTS
Each year when the Year 6 students go on camp we
have the opportunity to provide a few selected Year 5
students with school Leadership opportunities.
Students were carefully chosen for this opportunity by
the Year 5/6 teachers as these students are able to
exhibit our school behaviour expectations, they utilise
the five Keys to Success and their teachers feel they
will manage the extra responsibilities the leadership
role entails.
Congratulations to: Kayd Gibson-Cooper , Lateisha
Gullotti Shepparbottom, Nicolas Jokovich, Hugo
Keep, Rhaeja Pratt, and Jace Robinson, who worked
with our current Prefects during week 7 and then took
on the role for week 8 admirably.
We are now taking applications for enrolments for children
entering Kindergarten and Pre-Primary in 2019. Applications are
to be made by no later than 3pm, Friday 20 July, 2018.
To be eligible to enter Kindergarten (4 year old program) in a
Government School in 2019, a child must turn four on or before
the 30th June 2019. To be eligible to enter Pre-Primary (5 year
old program) in 2019, a child must turn five on or before the 30th
June 2019.
Please come to the Administration Office with a copy of their
birth certificate, current immunisation details and proof of
address and you will be provided with all the necessary
paperwork.

EDITION 5 – 21 JUNE 2018
EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING
SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
STUDENT HEALTH CARE INFORMATION It is important that student health care records are
current, particularly for excursions and other out-of-
school events. The school needs you to provide
updates so that plans and emergency contact details
are maintained for appropriate management of your
child’s health care needs. If you need to, please
request a form from Karen Hancock in the Front
Office.
This year we will celebrate NAIDOC on Wednesday
27 July. The theme is “ Because of Her We Can!”
We start with a small assembly before lunch which
will then be followed by special activities and some
lunchtime clubs. Students will be encouraged to
wear NAIDOC colours for a gold coin donation. Our
gold coin donations will be going to the Karratha
Women’s refuge.
Thanks to our special events committee for their
organisation.
BIKE HELMET SAFETY
A reminder that if your child rides to school they do
need a helmet. This is a legal requirement though
more importantly is about your child travelling safely
to and from school knowing that helmets decrease the
risk of head injury by 85%.
AUSSIE OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to our three Aussie of the Month
recipients in the focus area of CONFIDENCE.
Junior awards went to Elsie Bliss and Josiah
Eslabon. The Senior award was presented to April
Fogarty.
YEAR 6 BROOME CAMP
The Year 6 students have been busy preparing and
planning for their exciting trip to Broome Camp
School for most of this year. I joined parents to
farewell the excited bus load before 7am on
Monday! Miss Oakley and Mr Young will be
supervising and looking forward to watching the
Year 6’s build independence and confidence as they
step out of their comfort zone for a week. Many fun
excursions and activities are planned and we're sure
everyone will make many lasting memories of their
final year of primary school. We will update on
Facebook!
MASTERS OF BEHAVIOUR On Monday 25th June we will be holding the
Masters of Behaviour reward! This celebration will
consist of free dress, an ice cream and an extended
play at lunch. Children who have achieved level 3
Mastery in one or more of the 4 school behaviour
expectations of Respect, Safety, Excellence and
Responsibility will be invited to attend.
Congratulations to those students who have
achieved mastery! Masters will receive an invite this
week
EDITION 5 – 21 JUNE 2018
PARTNERSHIPS
LAPATHON What a great event this was again this year! It was
great to see so many parents support their children.
Students certainly had great fun while exercising!
Thank you to Mr Young and staff for ensuring the
event ran smoothly. Please remember to bring in any
Lapathon money before Friday 22 June. All funds
raised will be spent painting play activities around our
school grounds such as hopscotch, targets, and other
interactive games.
APEX
A huge thank you to the
Karratha APEX Club for their
kind donation of a brand new
washing machine for our
Breakfast Club. We have invited
a member of the club to our first
assembly next term so that we
can formally show our
appreciation. APEX, your
community spirt and support is
very much appreciated!
CROSS COUNTRY
Congratulations to all our students for their amazing
resilience, persistence and general sportsmanship
shown at our Faction Cross Country last Wednesday.
Thanks to parents for their support and staff for their
organisation, in particular Mr Young. Medallions were
presented to 1st, 2nd & 3rd placegetters at assembly
last Thursday.
These students will now go on to represent our school
at the Interschool Cross Country event held in
Dampier on Wednesday 27 June.
GARDENING CLUB
Our Gardening Club helped to plant trees along
Dampier Highway last week to highlight World
Environment Day. Thanks to Mr Young, Ms Konig
and Horizon Power for organising the event. The
Gardening Club are working hard at the moment
propagating plants to sell at our 40th Anniversary
Fete.
