Hello to all
"The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth."

JIM’S SPOT
The F1 in Schools competition last Friday was a long day but very enjoyable for the children who participated. There was great camaraderie between all of the children and it was fantastic to see our students talking and discussing ideas with students from the other schools that were in the final.
Special congratulations to the all girls team, “Lightning Bolts”, (Chloe, Isabel, Bree-Anna and Ellen) who would have been the knockout champions but unfortunately their car was ruled to be illegal due to a technical fault. (Chloe’s thumb speed was unbeatable and she did not lose a race all day.)
(The knock out section is just one part of the day. The children are also judged on their engineering skills, business collaboration, portfolio, presentation and automatic start race times.)
The judges were however so impressed with the Lightning Bolts team that they have issued a special invitation to them to go to the National Final in Adelaide on Feb 28th next year. We now have some serious fundraising to do if the team is to get to the finals.
Congratulations to Wesley College who were the overall champions and they will now represent Western Australia in the National Finals.
The Pirates of the Curry Beans is looking really good and the children will have a practice at the Community Centre tomorrow. (The buses will take the children to the hall in the morning.) Don’t forget to invite family and friends and all we are asking to see this fantastic performance is a gold coin donation at the door. Proceeds will go towards children’s medical research. Thank you to the parents who helped Mrs White this morning with the setting up of the stage and sound system as well as some props work.
The graduation disco is on next Monday (5th Dec) for all of our students and the families of the graduates. The disco will commence at 6pm and finish at approximately 8-8:30pm. There will also be a power point presentation for our two graduating boys.
Can all parents please supply a small supper that is nutritious but does not require heating?
Parents who would like to help decorate the hall can contact Caz Abbey for details.
Swimming lessons are going well (today’s weather excluded). Don’t forget that we have two more lessons before completion. (Wednesday and Friday this week.) Thank you to everyone for checking names on clothing, towels etc.
Mrs Monks is moving everything to new library on Monday 12th December with the assistance of some of our parents. Thank you very much to the parents who are assisting at this very busy time of the year.
To assist Mrs Monks the children will need to return all of our library books this week so that a stock take can be carried out before the shift is started. Please check all the usual spots for books and even some of the unusual spots too. Thank you for your assistance with this.
We are looking forward to our Kindy Kids of 2012 coming to school this Wednesday for an orientation day. The children will be able to see what the big kids do at school as well as joining in with some work. The day will also allow the new kids to socialise, have lunch and enjoy a bus ride to and from school.
