Congratulations-Area Cross Country
I would like to wish Lyla Reading and Tayem Reading all of the best as they represent Castle Hill PSSA Zone at the Sydney West Area Cross Country Carnival tomorrow.
Multicultural Public Speaking Competition
Tomorrow our school will be holding the Zone Multicultural Public Speaking Competition Final. I would like to wish Tony Fang, Zack Aldridge, Aarush Goyal and Ben Redwood who will be representing our school.
Athletics Carnivals Next Week
We are hoping to have good weather for our Years 3-6 Athletics Carnival (Wednesday 16th June) and our K-2 Carnival (Friday 18th June) which will be held next week. I would like to thank Ms Johnston and Mrs Rooke for their organisation. I would also like to thank the parents who have volunteered to help us on the day.
Winter Uniforms
With the colder weather, it is a reminder that students are dressed warmly in our school uniform. Please make sure that uniforms (especially jackets and jumpers) are labelled with your child’s name. At this time of the year we often have a large pile of unlabelled items within our lost and found section. If it is labelled, it will be easier to return to the rightful owner.
Important Reminder
This is the time of the year that we find an increase in sickness among both students and staff. A room with 20 to 30 other people in it is not the best environment to be in if your child is not well, especially if what they have is contagious. Please keep your child at home if they are unwell and seek medical advice. If they have any flu like symptoms they are still required to be COVID tested and a screen shot of the results sent to the school email, clearing them to return to school.
Kindergarten Enrolments for 2022
If you are aware of any in-area children intending to enrol for next year (who haven’t already done so), please advise them to contact the school as soon as possible to fill in enrolment forms. The school is also part of an online enrolment pilot program and as a result, you are able complete most of the process by visiting https://winstonhil-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/about-our-school/enrolment.html
Year 1 and 2 Excursion to Sydney Zoo
It was good to see the Year 1 and Year 2 students enjoy their excursion to the new Sydney Zoo last week. For our Year 1 students it was their first every excursion. I would like to thank the teachers and parent helpers that attended. I would also like to thank Mrs Coates for organising the excursion.
Voluntary School Contributions Reminder
Annually, we ask parents to support their children’s education through the payment of a voluntary school contribution which is used to provide vital equipment and resources to enrich the educational experience for each student.
Whilst these contributions are voluntary, we rely considerably on them to provide valuable resources for the school. This year again we ask for a $40.00 for a single student or $50.00 contribution per family. This can be made by Cash, Cheque or using the online payment system (P.O.P).
I stress that payment of the school contribution is a matter by individual parents and carers to decide and is entirely voluntary. Our school would greatly welcome your contribution, as this will enhance the resources made available to all our students.
P&C
The next P&C meeting will be held at 7:30pm in the staffroom tonight. Mrs Faulks will be discussing the role of the Learning and Support Teacher within the school. All welcome!
