From the Principal's Desk

Welcome to Week 4 of Term 3!

Uniforms: Thank you to all our families who send their children to school in full school uniform every day. Compliance with the school’s uniform policy has improved noticeably this term.

A friendly reminder that our school uniform is to be worn every day. our jade school polo shirt and dark blue bottoms. On cooler days, students are encouraged to wear Kingaroy SS jumpers which are available from Coppards, Lowes and Uniform Zone. Plain dark blue jumpers and jackets are also permitted. I discourage students from wearing brightly coloured or branded tops. If you require any help to send your children to school in uniform please don’t hesitate to contact me.

P&C Meeting: Our next P&C meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 9^th August at 6pm in the library. I encourage all parents and carers to attend. There are a number of exciting fundraisers planned for the remainder of the year and the more parents involved the more successful these will be.

Prep Open Saturday: If you have a child starting Prep next year and you haven’t already attended a Prep information session I encourage you to come to this. A flyer is included in this newsletter.

Parent-Teacher Interviews: These are scheduled for Week 6 of this term. I encourage parents to meet with their child’s teacher to foster strong communication between the school and home. Information about how you can book a time to meet with your child’s teacher will be sent home later this week.

From the Deputy Principal

This week’s focus of the fortnight has been "Positive Play". Students have been discussing where to play, the importance of walking around buildings and the difference being kind to others can make in the world. To add to this, we celebrated International Friendship Day on Monday. The day was dedicated to honouring the essence of friendship and offered an opportunity for students to express gratitude towards their friends.

Fudooka Visit – We are very fortunate to have students and staff visiting Kingaroy from Fudooka High School in Japan tomorrow. This is a great opportunity for our students to learn about Japanese culture and make new friends. A huge thank you to Ms Kate Ireland and Mrs Danielle Carige for organising this special event for our students.

Science Week – Week 5 is Science Week. There will be lots of exciting things happening around the school including a butterfly hunt and lots of discussion about camouflage. Thank you to Miss Sarah Brookes for all the planning she has put into bringing Science Week to life.
