1 Bathurst Public School George Street Phone: Bathurst NSW 2795 Fax: Website: Thursday, 22nd June 2017 Term 2 Week 9 Dear Parents, Reports to be sent home tomorrow! Yesterday we acknowledged Mrs Margaret Café, Ms Kathryn Newton and Mrs Helen Rutherford for their contribution and service to Public Education. Mrs Café and Ms Newton were presented with Service Medals, recognising their dedication to the education of students throughout their careers. Mrs Rutherford was presented with a 20 Years Service Certificate. We are very lucky at Bathurst Public School to have so many dedicated teachers, both within our past and present. Congratulations to our Netball team who played in Dubbo on Tuesday. Although they were not successful on the day, they can walk away proudly as Eastern Division Champions. A special congratulations to Sienna Tangaroa, Keira Copeland and Poppy Hutchings on making it into the Western Netball team. Thank you, Mrs Francis for being a netball super coach!

2 Our Athletics Carnival was held last Friday. A big thank you to Mr Thackray for organising the carnival and congratulations to all students who participated and especially to those who have qualified for District. The District Athletics Carnival will be held on 11 August. Morning Drop off Reminder There are no teachers on duty until 8:30 am. Please ensure students are not dropped off to school before this time as there is no supervision until that time and the mornings are particularly cold at the moment. Winter Uniform With the arrival of winter, so has the need for navy jumpers and jackets. Our winter uniform is: Boys Navy trousers, white polo shirt, navy school sloppy-joe with large middle emblem, white ankle socks and clean black shoes. Girls Winter pinafore, white polo shirt, navy school sloppy- joe with large middle emblem, navy tights/stockings, clean black shoes and navy blue hair ribbons. If you are in need of winter clothing, please contact clothing pool Liz Arrow or the Office on FOOD Allergies - We do have several children at our school who have peanut allergies and have severe reactions if exposed to this food. Parents are asked to be mindful of this when packing recess and lunch and are encouraged not to send products, which contain nuts in them to school. A general reminder:- All items of clothing and personal belongings should be clearly marked with your child s name. All children require a broad brimmed hat each day as our school has a No Hat, No Play policy. When parents and friends come to the school during the day, they should present to the front office on arrival. This is a Legal and Workplace Safety requirement and is followed for the safety and security of all children and teachers. We continue to encourage parents to make appointments to come and talk about your child s progress, problems that may arise, ideas etc. It is reminded that the education of your child is a team effort with teachers and parents being the main stakeholders. With this in mind, it is an important reminder that the parent/teacher relationship always needs to be cohesive and supportive and one of mutual respect. I am sure we will continue to work with one another in a positive manner. All money coming to the school should be placed in a sealed envelope with your child s name, correct amount of money, class and what the money is for clearly written on the front. All money and notes should be sent directly to the front office at the school for processing.
