Dear Parents and Carers,

What a cool week! Yes, it is summer but we are still reaching for jumpers and putting on heaters. However, we are really hoping for a change in the weather as our K/1 students start their swimming program next week! All details were emailed via Schoolzine today. Parents are warmly welcome to join us at the pool for the sessions if they are available.

We also know it is such a busy time of the year for school events and family commitments with other organisations. To keep on top of dates please refer to our dates section in this newsletter.

Even though it is busy if parents would like to give us any feedback regarding this year please feel free to let us know either by sending an email, chatting at the gate or making an appointment. ‘My door is open.’ We are ready to listen especially to assist our planning in 2020.

I have just finished reading student reports and can see the gains students have made since the end of Term 2. I particularly enjoy reading about what each individual student’s ‘highlight’ of the year was. I’m sure parents will enjoy hearing of their child’s highlight too. It proves that it is the ‘little things’ that count for our students, every day.

This Friday is Country Day, an initiative organised by our Year 6 leaders to support St Patrick’s Primary School in Trundle NSW. Students are invited to wear country clothes and share in a special lunch to raise funds for the tiny school’s end of year celebration. Please see further details in this newsletter.

Also coming up over the next week is Carols by Candlelight on Thursday Evening starting at 7:00pm at the Batlow RSL Club. Students are to meet teachers at 6:45pm wearing the full summer school uniform. We hope to see you there at this wonderful community event.

Have a lovely week everyone.

Kind Regards

 Jannine
