Dear Parents
& Caregivers,
CHOCOLATES RETURN TOMORROW
- FRIDAY
Our chocolate
drive is soon to finish up. Please send all money and any unsold chocolates
back to school by tomorrow, Friday 21
August. I would like to thank
everyone for a big effort with the chocolates but if the school is to have a
successful chocolate drive we must get all money or any unsold chocolates back
on Friday. To be in the prize draw, chocolates need to be back tomorrow.
Thank you for your support. Students who have taken additional boxes will
have extra time to sell.
PSSA FINALS RESULTS
Congratulations
to those students who participated in the PSSA finals last Friday. Senior A Netballers won (18-7) to take
out Division 2, Senior Boys Soccer drew
(1-1) to become joint Premiers and the Junior
Boys Oztag team lost (3-4) in an extremely close
game to be runners up. Well done to these teams and to all the students and
teachers who have been involved in Winter PSSA. Also, thank you to the many
parents who have turned up throughout the season to support the teams. Please
ensure that any shirts that were hired are returned this week. Summer PSSA starts on Friday 4 September.
Thank
you to our Winter PSSA teachers Mr Clark, Ms Leedham, Mrs Howard, Ms Uzanovska, and Mr Green.
ZONE ATHLETICS
CARNIVAL
Forty students have gained selection to the Zone Athletics Carnival that
will be held at Sylvania Waters Athletics Track on:- Thursday 28 August (Full Day)
Students will need to be at school at 8:00am.
We had a group of students compete in the half day Zone Carnival today. All the best to all the students.
The North Sydney Boys community would like to invite you to Open Day.
You will be able to join in tours and activities, meet with students and
teachers and discover how they deliver excellence and innovation in boys’
education. Teachers, parent groups and Principal, Robyn Hughes will be available
during the morning. At 10.30am in the hall, Ms Hughes will officially welcome
visitors to the school and share what makes North Sydney Boys so unique.
MINI
FETE
Congratulations to all the students in Stage 3 for
an absolutely fantastic Mini Fete. They were very creative with all their
stalls and I think we really need to call it a ‘major” fete as it seems to get
bigger each year. All the students had great fun tossing water bombs, eating,
drinking, getting their hair coloured and dancing in the hall. The haunted
house is always a great success. Thank you to all the Stage 3 staff for their
tireless efforts and support of the students. It has been a great fundraiser
and they raised just over $7000.
UNIFORM
SHOP NEWS
The uniform shop is pleased to announce that they
are able to offer light cotton long pants for girls to wear in
summer under their summer uniform. Samples will be on show in the uniform shop.
This is in response to the need of some female students. They will sell for $18
and will need to be ordered in advance. They will be a cooler alternative in
the hot summer months. In addition, we
are able to offer long sleeve summer dresses for an extra cost of $7. Again, orders will need to be placed.

FATHERS DAY
STALL
Every year the Community Club holds a Fathers Day Stall where children
can buy a gift for their father or grandfather.
If you have any NEW or “as new gifts” that you could
donate to our school, please send them along to your class teacher. A Fathers Day box will be placed in each classroom
for presents. We also need parents to
help tie ribbons around presents (approx 30 presents) at your home. This is an
ideal opportunity for working parents to help by doing this at home. Please
send your name and contact phone number to the office and we will contact you. The
last day for counting will be 28 August, 2009 The
class that brings in the most items will be awarded a prize.
