WHOLE SCHOOL PHOTO
Monday 2 March
Next Monday we will be having a whole school photo and
would like all the students to wear sports uniform on that
day—red shorts, white polo, white ankle socks & runners.
This will allow a more unified look for our 60th birthday
photo.
Well I have certainly hit the ground running this week after
my lovely holiday last week. Thank you to Ms Phillips who
did an amazing job filling in for me during my absence.
WHOLE SCHOOL PHOTO- Monday 2 March
Next Monday we are having all the students and staff photographed in the formation of a “60” to celebrate Manly Vale Public School’s 60th birthday. We would like all students
to come in their sports uniform (white shirt, red shorts,
white socks and runners) for this photo. Could you please
ensure that your child comes to school in their sports uniform. This is not our normal school photo day so no other
photos will take place on that day.
Parent Information Evenings
Thank you to all the parents who attended the parent information evenings over the past 2
WHAT’S HAPPENING weeks. It is a great opportunity to
get to know your child’s teacher
NEXT WEEK
and become familiar with classMonday 2 March
room routines. On those evenings

coordinators for the year. Many

information night please make
sure you forward your details to
the class teacher or parent coorFriday 6 March

Parent Information Evening—3/4A
Mrs Lucy Ashton was unable to attend the Stage 2 parent
information evening last week due to illness so has rescheduled her class to have their information night on
Tuesday 3 March at 6.30pm in her room. Sorry for any
inconvenience this may have caused.
SRC meeting and badge assembly
Tomorrow is a very exciting day for our school leaders
and SRC representatives. The SRC representatives
along with the Library Monitors and Band Leaders will be
presented with their badges for 2015 followed by their
first meeting for the year at 11.30am. The assembly will
be on the back oval at 9.00am. Congratulations to all
SRC representatives that were elected by their class mates to represent them in this very important meeting.
Thank you to Ms Phillips who does an amazing job in
organising these students and the school leaders to run
these meetings.
PSSA Lunch Orders- To be discontinued!
Fridays are a very busy day for the school with many students leaving the school before lunch to go off to PSSA
games. As buses leave at 12.30pm for sport and assembly and SRC meetings taking place just beforehand, students are not getting enough time to eat lunch orders
before they go off to sport. The canteen is pressured to
provide lunches before the buses leave, after opening for
breakfast in the morning. It has been the decision of the
school and the canteen committee to cancel lunch orders
for PSSA students on a Friday and encourage them to
order on a different day. We will give parents and students time to adjust to this change so that the last day for
PSSA lunches will be Friday 6 March. As from Friday 13
March there will be no lunch orders for PSSA teams.
Congratulations Daniel!
Daniel Povah has participated in the Saturday Orienteering School Series over the past 3 weeks. He has won the
year 5/6 event each week. Well done Daniel!

Parent Planner App
We have not set up the Parent Planner App this year and
would like some feedback on its usage last year. With the
website and Bush Telegraph as our main sources of communication with parents we are assessing whether the time
spent on administering this App is beneficial. We will send
out a survey next week for you to comment and give us
feedback.

Student Representative Council (SRC) Leader Badges
The following students will receive their SRC badges tomorrow morning at the 9:00am assembly. The SRC meetings
are a forum for students to engage in free speech, decision making and participate in a democratic process where they
present ideas, vote and have their leaders follow up on their suggestions. These students will be attending SRC meetings and will present suggestions and speak on behalf of their class mates. We would like to congratulate these students and wish them well in their leadership position.
Parents are invited to attend the SRC meetings which are scheduled every three weeks in Friday assemblies at
11:20am in the school hall.

LIBRARY NEWS
It was great pleasure to meet up with new parents and
to see familiar faces at the information evenings held
over the last two weeks.
Your children have started the year with great enthusiasm for borrowing and reading and exploring new ideas. We appreciate your support and encouragement
by helping your children to remember their library day
and to take an interest in the books they borrow and
the library work they may bring home each week.
Premier’s Reading Challenge begins in early March. I
will provide further information soon, in the meantime
you may wish to explore the website:

Happy Reading

CANTEEN NEWS
CANTEEN OPENING MONDAYS
Don’t forget the canteen is continuing to open on
Mondays for lunch orders for EVERY week this term!
The trial will be reviewed again at the end of the term
and unless it is supported by the school community it
will not continue beyond then. Sarah has a yummy
new Monday menu so get your Monday lunch orders
in.
POSITION VACANT
The canteen is in desperate need of some new fill in
supervisors to assist when Sarah is on leave. It's a
fun position, you get to meet new volunteers, and you
get paid! If you're interested we'd love to hear from
you so please call Lucy on 9938 4804 or email manlyvalepscanteen@gmail.com.

PSSA students won’t be able to order lunch from the
