Congratulations - Junior Touch Footy
Congratulations PSSA Junior Touch Footy team.
On Friday afternoon the team went to Bathurst Street Oval to play the Grand Final against Girraween Public School. Both teams have been very evenly matched throughout the year and only one point separated them on the for and against ladder. Wenty got a quick try just a few minutes into the game and then again just before half time. A great field length dash completed the tries in the second half with Wenty winning 3-0. Our defense was fantastic. Keep an eye out in the school newsletter for a photo of our winners with the shield. Thanks to the students, parents and teachers that came to be the cheer squad.

PARENT WORKSHOPS - MATHS
We had the first of our 4 parent workshops in mathematics today. Ms Daher and I were pleased to spend time with 6 interested parents and discuss "addition and subtraction" Hope to see more parents next week - ring the office or send a note if you are coming so we can be prepared with resources. Thanks to those parents who attended!
ATTENDANCE
Over the last few weeks I have given out many 100% attendance awards to students for semester 1. Attendance and punctuality are very important aspects of school and later life - let's see if we can have even more awards in semester 2.
Thank you and good luck Vik!
This week we are saying goodbye to a great family, who are moving to Queensland. Vik Shah was a member of the P&C executive this year and is the driving force behind this blog. He researched, discussed issues, promoted new ways of doing things and taught us how to manage our blog. We would not have one without Vik.
Thank you Vik, you will be missed by our school community and I wish you and your family well in the future!

Premier's Reading Challenge 2008 Closing Soon
The Premier’s Reading Challenge comes to a close at the end of August. All children need to have handed in their reading sheet to me by Wednesday 27 August so I can validate their entries. No entries can be accepted after this date.
To be validated the children need to have read the required number of books and to have returned their permission slip. If they are not sure if they have returned their permission slip they can always check with me in the library.
The children will receive their certificates in December when they arrive at the school.
Thank You
Tricia Brown
Teacher / Librarian

Book Character Parade
Book Character Parade
To celebrate Book Week we are holding a Book Character Parade. This will take place on Thursday, August 21st, at 12:15 pm.
Parents are welcome to attend and are also invited to spend lunch with their children. A picnic lunch would be ideal.
The children are asked to come dressed as a book character. This could simply mean a pair of sunglasses, a black cape and a lightening bolt scar and there you have Harry Potter.
A pirate from Treasure Island could be created from rolled up jeans, a T shirt and a scarf.
The aim of the parade is for the children to have fun.
Hoping to see you there,
Tricia Brown
Teacher /Librarian.

Sports Carnival - Thank You Helpers
The sports carnival was a great success. Congratulations to the teachers for getting all the students back to school before the storm hit. A big thanks must go to the following people who help run the canteen, Kylie, Diane, Leanne, Fiona, Tina, Alan and Steven. Without these people we would not have been able to offer a canteen. The students were VERY VERY excited and really enjoyed the day.
