14th June 2023     Welcome to Week 9

Welcome everyone.  Thank you to the P & C for an amazing Disco!  It was a great evening and all of the children looked fantastic in their Fluro and 80’s outfits.  Thank you to all parents and carers for supporting the disco.  The P & C have were very happy with the evening and the funds raised.

This Thursday the 15th June we will be having NAIDOC celebrations on the oval.  Parents and carers and all of the community are invited. Please assemble in the UCA at 1:45 pm. The Pheasant Street gates will be open for visitors.

We wish all of our Slade Point State School students the very best, as they compete at the Cumberland Sports Day today.

Please note that our short PBL Parade will be held every Wednesday morning at 8:30 am.  Our key message this week is:  BE A LEARNER.  Students will need to keep trying very hard with their school work and completing assessments this week.

Our school is always focused on improving the attendance of our students. Every day at school is busy and full of learning opportunities.  You cannot learn when you are not here to learn. Punctual and consistent attendance will allow your child to develop skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.  A consistent school attendance schedule will provide many unique benefits for your child’s life, including:

Structure. When your child regularly engages in the same activities, they will be more likely to develop structure.

Achievement. Students who regularly attend class are more likely to pass reading and math assessments than students who don’t.

Language skills. Younger students are exposed to classes and activities that are crucial for developing language.

Social skills. Children will participate in many social situations that are vital for understanding the world around them.

Let’s all work together during semester two to see if we can lift the attendance rate for all classes to 90%.  At school, on time, every day!

Report cards will be distributed on Wednesday 21st June.

1. Rewards Day will be on Wednesday week 10 . Beach Games Prep-3 and Skate Park Years 4 –6.  All students are working very hard to earn 25 Tokens by the end of week 9.
2. Community Breakfast Week 10 June 20th starting at 7:15 am
3. Mackay Show Holiday Thursday June 22nd
4. Friday 23rd June is last day of term 2.
5. School starts for Term 3 Monday 10th July.

P and C News

Hi everyone

We are seeking someone to learn the Treasurer role from our present Treasurer,  the wonderful Kay, as she will not be able to continue in this role next year.

Learning the process from our amazing Treasurer for the rest of this year will give a new person the experience to continue.

NO TREASURER......NO TUCKSHOP!  = NO P&C!!!

Please consider if you would like to become our 2024 Treasurer.

P and C School Disco

Thank you for everyone for supporting the 80's / Fluro Disco at the school last Friday night.

Everyone sure does love a good dress up and it showed on the night with all of the amazing and colourful customes. Great job.

Our lucky prize winner was Tanahlia from the Prep class. 

Once again thank to all parents and school staff for the help we received. None of  these fun nights could happen without support for all of the little and big jobs. We are so very grateful!
