Pens Pencils Erasers Earlier this year we sent home a stationery list suggesting the items that your child would need to complete class work this year. Some children have been very active with their stationery and supplies are depleting. Please check your child s pencil case and restock it if new pencils, pens, erasers, earphones, glue sticks, etc. are needed. Thanks for your support. A Big Thank You We have such a dedicated team at Glenorie Public School. Thanks to Anna, Rosa and Pao- Lein, our cleaners, and Greg Payne, our general assistant, for taking care of our school. We appreciate your support. School Development Day This year the Department of Education will provide schools with five professional learning (school development) days. On Monday 30th April all teachers and support staff at Glenorie will be undergoing training at Galston Public School on the Seven Steps to Writing. As the day is designed for staff development, no supervision will be provided for students. You will be responsible for the care and safety of your child on both days. All students should therefore return to school on Tuesday 1 st May. Thanks for a Great Term We would like to wish all of our students, staff and families a safe and relaxing holiday break. Thanks for keeping a watchful eye on the school; any problems, please contact our security unit on 1300880021 or Hornsby Police on 94769799. Thanks for a great term EVERYONE we look forward to sharing many more positive learning experiences with you next term. See you all on Tuesday 1 st May. Happy Holidays!
