STAGE 3 MINI FETE
On Tuesday 18
August, Stage 3 will be holding their annual ‘Mini Fete’. Due to the start of
Ramadan in week 5, the Mini Fete has been brought forward so that all students
can enjoy the fun. Please note that the Sausage Sizzle will be held on this day
and NOT the 27 August as was stated on the Sausage Sizzle order form.
All of the
activities have been planned by our students and they will be running all of
the stalls. We hope to raise enough money to cover the Year 6 Farewell and also
to buy another interactive white board for the school.
Please support
the Mini Fete by giving your child a few dollars to spend. It will be a fun
afternoon. Activities will include a disco, Sausage Sizzle, face painting,
beauty parlours, bubble blowing, lucky dips, cafes, Snap- on bracelets and key
rings, food and drinks stalls, trash and treasure and basketball and soccer
shootouts.
Parents and
friends are most welcome to come along and join in the fun from 1pm. We hope to
see you all at our Mini Fete.

100 DAYS OF KINDERGARTEN.
On Friday 31 July, Kindergarten celebrated the milestone of reaching
their one hundredth day in Kindergarten. Students enjoyed a fun filled day
of activities arranged by their teachers. They each received a cake and a certificate. The students dressed in
green and each Kindergarten class planted a shrub in the garden behind G Block.
A big thank you to all involved in the celebration and to Mr Han for
digging the holes for the shrubs.

ACCELERATED READER
Accelerated
Reader is a program that operates in all Stage 3 classes and some of our Stage
2 classes. Students, who do Accelerated Reader, set a reading goal for
themselves and they read books that are on the AR Booklist and then complete a
quiz which give the students points towards their goal. The harder the book the
more points the quiz is worth. The AR booklist can be located on the
The school is
currently purchasing more AR books and quizzes to extend and strengthen the
program. The Accelerated Reader books are held in the school’s library and
students can find these books by looking for a special AR sticker after
checking the AR booklist. When a student
reaches their set goal they are awarded a certificate.

LANCE THOMPSON CUP CHAMPIONS

Junior Rugby League team went to Win Jubilee Oval to play a demonstration match
against Narwee P S as part of the Lance Thompson Rugby League tournament. The
boys played extremely well against a very tough and determined opposition and
were awarded the Cup at the end of the game in front of a packed stadium of
thousands of onlookers. The highlight for many of the boys was seeing the Melbourne
Storm up close on the field before the NRL game. Thank you to all the parents
for their support and to Mr Patolo for his help on the day. The team of stage 2
boys were: Kanui Wilson, Ibrahim Srour, Mohamed Reslan, Gryffen Cunningham,
