1 Wednesday 19 th November, 2014 Newsletter Number 37 FROM THE PRINCIPAL School Camp Staff and students arrived at Camp Kangaroobie on Monday after a long trip in the bus. They all appreciated dinner that night! Our students enjoyed a scavenger hunt, barn dance and many other fun activities. I am sure there will be lots of stories to tell when they return. There are some photos and comments attached to this newsletter. Cardinia Primary School Christmas Market Night Thank you to everyone who helped and supported our Christmas Market Night last Thursday. The supper provided was delicious and the BER was a buzz of laughter and conversation. So far we have raised $1430 which is a terrific effort. Well done! Planning For 2015 It is extremely important for the school, regarding our forward planning and setting budgets that we have an accurate understanding of our expected enrolment for the 2015 school year. To this end I thank the families who have already informed the school that due to moving out of the area or for other personal reasons they will not be a part of Cardinia Primary School in The School s enrolment is expected to remain steady at around 280 students given the movements in and out of the school. If you haven t already done so, could you please inform the office or Allan if you won t be with us in DATES TO REMEMBER: WEEK BEGINNING November Whole School Camp 17 th Thursday 20 th November Meal Deal: Choice of Sausage Roll, Meat Pie/Party Pies or Hot Dog and a Ice Cream Sundae - $4.00 Friday 28 th November Major Games Day Selected Senior Students Week Beginning 2 nd December Life Education Program Resumes Tuesday 9 th December Full Day Transition program for 2015 Foundation Enrolments Grade 6 Transition Program to Secondary Schools (Government Schools) Friday 12 th December Grade 6 Graduation Activity Luna Park Monday 15 th December December Reports issued to all Students Thursday 18 th December School Christmas Concert 7.30pm Start

2 IMPORTANT REMINDERS PLEASE take care at all times in the Car Park areas. Caution and alertness need to be uppermost in everyone s minds when in these areas. It is very important that if any parent or friend of the school has any concerns, queries or problems regarding any aspect of the school it should be brought to the attention of your child s teacher or Allan straight away. Under no circumstance should parents/guardians approach other students in the school grounds. THUMBS UP To Miss Thalas who wore the Westpac Helicopter outfit on Sunday and ran the 15km Fun Run. Good Job! To Jodie and Liz for all their fantastic work in making sure our Transition Program for our Foundation intake is so well organised and planned. To all the staff who are hard at work preparing and writing the end of year reports for all students. To all our Grade 6 students who do such a great job with our Foundation buddies. You all do a great job supporting and be friending our junior students. Well done to everyone! To the Grade 4-6 staff for the fantastic Flight Day they conducted on Friday. A great way to finish off this unit of work. Well done. To Mrs Smith who has done a great job with the 2015 booklists in preparation for next year. Thank you Mrs Smith! To Mr White & Mrs Wood who have been looking after everything at School during camp week. Well done! This Week s Meal Deal is either a Sausage Roll, Meat Pie/Party Pies OR a Hot Dog and a Ice Cream Sundae. PLEASE MARK YOUR PAPER BAG WITH YOUR PREFERANCE Please Note: Meal Deals are now $4.00. If you purchased a Salt Lamp from our Christmas Market Night last week and are missing the electrical cord, you can collect it from the office.

3 It is important that children arrive punctually at school, 5-10 minutes before bell time in the mornings so that their day can commence on time and in a casual manner. We all have mornings that can be crazy however constant disruptions can affect not only your child s learning but other students in the classroom. If you are late, please remember to sign in your child at the office. Grade 2 Rich Task The students had to create an underwater environment including animals, a reef and anything else they liked to add. I am sure you will agree that they have all worked really hard on their projects!

5 Miss Thalas at the City2Sea Run The Sunday Age City2Sea presented by Westpac aims to raise much needed funds for more than 620 charities. This year they raised over $315,000 for those charities. Well done Jessie! CHRISTMAS MARKET NIGHT Last Thursday night we held our 1 st ever Christmas Market Night. It was a great success. We had over 200 people through the door, 32 stall holders and enough supper for everyone. Thank you to everyone who came along and supported us on the night. We hope you got some of your Christmas shopping done, if not finished. We raised $1500 for our school which is a great effort! A very big thank you to all who helped the night run so smoothly. You know who you are and I personally thank you all. Meaghan McNeill On behalf of Parents Club NOODLES ETC for LUNCH There are normally a number of students who bring instant noodles to school for lunch. A staff member is available to cook these lunches. We are prepared to add boiling water to noodles till they are cooked and return them to the student, without the water. Could you please put your child s name on their containers (foam cups etc.) and provide a utensil to prevent any confusion? For catering purposes only the noodles in a cup can be cooked NOT the Macaroni and Cheese Noodles that come in a plastic sachet packet or cup.
