2024 Newsletter #7


Dear Silverton families,

 

Welcome back to Term Three. I hope everyone enjoyed the school holiday period. I’d like to congratulate our students for the way they have returned to school.

 

Our Year five students enjoyed the Nazareth taster day on Monday 24th June. Thank you to all staff who went along on the day.

 

On Wednesday 25th June we had a small group of student leaders attend a day at Parliament House. Thank you to Miss D and Mrs Ferreira for taking the students along on the day.

 

Congratulations to all students who performed at the Performing Arts Showcase during the last week of Term Two. Thank you to Miss Penelope, Mr Palamara and Alex!

 

Thank you to all parents/carers who have logged on to Compass, our new student management system. It is very important that all families please log on if you have not already. If you require any support with Compass, please contact the office. Can I also thank our admin team and all of our staff for their efforts in getting to know our new system.

 

Last Thursday, Silverton hosted the interschool sports finals. Silverton once again had a number of teams participating in finals. Thank you to Mrs Kittle and all LC4 staff for their great work on the day!

 

This Thursday 25th July is Student Led Conference Day. As always this is a pupil free day. We’re looking forward to seeing you come along for your allocated time on the day to help celebrate our student’s learning. It’s always a great day!

 

A reminder that on Friday 26th July we are having an Olympic themed House Day. As we are having an external company come in to run the Olympic activities, we do require parents/carers to log onto Compass and give permission and pay the $10 fee for each child to be able to participate in the activities.

 

F-2 Swimming program starts on Monday 29th July. Just a reminder that we would like all children to bring a pair of thongs or crocks to school on their swimming days please.

 

Just a reminder that we are taking enrolments for 2025 Foundations. If you have a child or family member who will be starting school in 2025, please encourage them to contact the school for a tour.

 

So far in 2024 our Parents Association have raised $6,398.40. A fantastic effort! Thank you so much to all who have helped us so far this year! Our goal is to raise funds for some new drink taps and some more sports equipment for the sports trolley.

 

Thank you,

Mark Pollard – Principal

 

 

 

A few Reminders

 

  • Please ensure that your child(ren) are in full school uniform. If you have any questions about uniform or require any assistance, please contact the office.

  • Arrival time: For safety reasons, students should not arrive at school before 8:45am. This is when staff begin before school yard duty. If you need your child to be supervised earlier than 8:45am, we have a before and after school service - TeamKids, which runs everyday from 7:00am – 8:45am. Please enquire if you require this service.

  • Pick up time: School finishes at 3:15pm every day. If you require your child to be supervised later than that, please also enquire with our Oschare program.

  • Please DO NOT park in the disabled carpark unless you are permitted to do so or on the grass in the staff carpark.

  • Please obey all street parking signs in neighboring streets to avoid being fined.

  • Please ensure that everyone crosses the roads at the designated school crossings.

As it is Silverton Olympic House Day on Friday the 26th of July, the Silverton Student Committee is looking forward to everyone dressing up in their house colours or as the allocated country given to them. If you can, please bring a gold coin donation, which will go towards raising money for sports equipment for the trolley located outside the Gym during playtime.
