Photographic Workshop
                        This week a group of stage 3 students participated in a photographic
                        workshop as part of our Five Lands Walk involvement.
                        The students worked with photographer Sally Mayman to learn about
                        framing, depth of field and other techniques to improve their photography.
                        Some of their photographs will be displayed as part of the Five Lands Walk
                        photographic exhibition in June.
                        Thanks to Miss Barnett for her organisation of the workshop.

Not Before 8.30am
Students must not be at school before 8.30am. They are not supervised and may be unsafe.
Supervision is provided from 8.30am in the top amphitheatre and the bottom COLA area.
If a child inadvertently arrives prior to 8.30am they must go and sit outside the front office. They are
not to play or walk around.

Dental Clinic

                    The free NSW Health dental clinic will commence next week. The clinic will be
                    here for the next 4 weeks. If you have returned your child’s permission and
                    information form they will be checked by the team. You will receive a simple
                    report that will indicate if further treatment is needed.

Clean Up Australia Day
Tomorrow is Clean Up Australia Day for schools.
We have taken a slightly different slant this year
with a focus on a commitment to reduce waste in
the first place.
Students will watch and discuss some media texts
about reducing waste. They will also consider
making a pledge to reduce waste. Some examples
may be:
    • I pledge to bring in a low waste lunchbox at
        least once per week
    • I pledge to collect 3 pieces of rubbish when I visit a beach or park
    • I pledge to not use single use straws when I visit a café or restaurant,
    • I pledge to recycle my 10c containers and compost my food.

SENIOR CHOIR

                                       This year students in years 3-6 have an exciting
                                       opportunity to be involved in the senior choir.
                                       Now that we are allowed to sing again, with
                                       restrictions lifted, we are thrilled to be able to
                                       run the senior choir again. Rehearsals will be
                                       before school on Tuesday mornings at 8:30am
                                       in the 2SF classroom (near the stairs to the top
                                       oval). We are hoping to be involved in many
performance opportunities including the Central Coast Choral Festival in October.
Places are limited for the festival but we welcome everyone for the school choir. If
your child is interested in joining the choir please send them to 2SF on Tuesday
morning 9th March at 8:30am. Looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the senior choir
singers on Tuesday.

Premiers Reading Challenge
The 2021 Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) opens on the 1st March and
runs until the 20th August, 2021. This Challenge is free for students to
participate in and promotes a love of reading. Kindergarten and Stage 1
students are reading their 30 Premier’s Reading Challenge books as part of
their Library lessons, but you are also encouraged to participate in this
great scheme at home. If you would like a copy of the recording sheet, they
are available at the school library.

Students in Stage 2 and 3 are required to read 20 books (15 from the PRC
book list and 5 free choices). Students will be provided with information on
how to log their books in Library lessons. The Library staff will happily log
any completed record sheets for younger students. We look forward to your
support in participating in this fantastic program.
Further information is available at
https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html

Please contact Ms Foster or Mr Bridge at the Library if you have any
queries about your PRC account or the Premier's Reading Challenge.
