If you don’t have enough people for

a full table at the trivia night, don’t

stress. You can join in with another

table or just make a smaller team.

Smaller tables will be charged per

person ($10 each) not per table.

Hope to see you there!!

Trent Barrett

Congratulations to our Year 3/4 girls who travelled to Wagga last

Tuesday to compete in the final round of the Trent Barrett Shield.

The girls first game was against Kooringal PS, with fresh legs on

the paddock our girls broke their line repeatedly to win 5 tries to

1. The second game we came up against Griffith North PS, after a

few minutes we were up by a few, finishing the game ahead by 7

tries. By now the girls were starting to feel the effects of having no

subs and by the third game we were really starting to feel the

pinch. Into the quarter finals against Temora and our girls dug

deep to muster their energy but unfortunately it wasn’t quite

enough losing to Temora PS by 2 tries. Overall the girl’s effort and

skills were outstanding, they worked well together as a team and

represented our school with pride. Special mention to Star who

was named player of the day and special thankyou to Bek and

Emmy Norris for their coaching on the day.

Enrolling Kindergarten for 2019

2019. Children who turn 5 before 31st July 2019 are

would like to discuss readiness for school or any

other matters regarding enrolling your child please

contact the school office. The school will be

conducting a pre enrolment/orientation meeting

for parents later in Term 3 to outline our

Tell Them From Me – Parents and

Carers Survey

This Term, our school will be participating in

the Partners in Learning parent survey. The

survey asks parents and carers questions about

different factors that are known to impact on

student wellbeing and engagement.

Running this survey will help our school

understand parents’ and carers’ perspectives on

their child’s experience at school. These include:

communication between parents/carers and

staff, activities and practices at home and

parent/carer views on the school's support of

learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback

will help our school make practical

improvements.

This survey is conducted entirely online and has

been better designed for use on mobile devices

such as smartphones and tablets. The survey

will typically take 15 minutes or less to

complete and is completely confidential. The

parent survey will be conducted during

September 2018. Participating in the survey is

entirely voluntary, however, your responses are

very much appreciated.

Please go

to https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/dpps to

complete the survey. This survey can be

completed on a mobile device.

Thank you.
