Wow! What a spectacle! On Tuesday and Wednesday this week some very proud parents, grandparents and staff were treated to three very special performances of The Frog
Prince Continued. Our Foundation students were very impressive in their characterisation,
stagecraft and, most of all, their confidence. Each performance was entertaining and humorous. Each audience also got to see a snippet of the Middle School Madagascar production from earlier this term. It was fascinating to see the way in which the development
of skills in those students began in very much the same way as this week’s performances.
Congratulations to all of our Foundation students and to Jacinta O’Leary!
TWILIGHT MARKET
We are looking forward to the Twilight Market on Friday 5 December! There will be entertainment, prizes, children’s activities and more than 50 market and food stalls! As well as

Brady’s RCH Game Board Challenge
How exciting! We have two overflowing tubs of games to donate to RCH. Thank you to all our families for their generosity. Brady and his family are very excited. A representative from the hospital
will come out to assembly on Monday December 1 st to accept the games and thank our wonderful
families. There is still time to bring a new game. We will be collecting until Wednesday next
week.
Transition
We run a number of programs during this time of the year to help students make a successful transition to their classes for the following year. Staff work together to plan developmentally appropriate
activities that help students get to know some new faces and are more familiar with the next year
level. Please make sure that you support your child by being positive about exciting times to come.
Our final transition session will be on Tuesday December 9 and where possible students are in
their 2015 classes with their teacher.
Cookbook Crew
The Cookbook Crew have been doing a lot of work in the background. They are still looking for
fabulous recipes and definitely need to hear some stories about great family desserts. Send your
recipes into the office with your family story.

this beautiful traditional Japanese kimono!!
Japanese Festival- 3,5,7.
On November the 15th many Japanese children ages 3,5 & 7 celebrated the 七五三 (shichi, go, san) festival. We discussed this festival in Japanese Junior School classes this week and these lucky
students dressed up in traditional costume. Please ask a Year 1/2
student to tell you more about this lovely children's festival!
Premier’s Reading Challenge Certificates 2014
Our certificates have arrived! Due to the large number of successful challengers again this year we
will be giving the certificates to the class teachers to distribute. Congratulations to all of our successful challengers!
We also have a VPRC lapel pin to be awarded to one student from each level. These students have

Kurburoo Visited Warranwood
On Monday, the school leaders had their Kurburoo Kinder buddies visit Warranwood PS. We had a
fantastic time. When they arrived they were nervous, but soon overcame their shyness and they
were so excited and happy!
We gave our special letters that we made for them. They absolutely loved them. We gave a tour
around the school, then we met at the oval to play fun activities like the parachute, skipping ropes,
hoola hoops and throwing balls. The parachute was the most popular and lots of fun. After the activities we played grab the tail. We went back to the Senior School building to have our picnic.
There were sandwiches, fairy bread, biscuits and more yummy treats to share!
Then unfortunately, they had to leave us. We gave a big hug goodbye and wished them luck for the
future. Five of them are coming to Warranwood!
They had lots of fun laughing, playing and enjoying themselves. We will miss them.
