Term 4 Week 8 Newsletter 22 November 2023
From our Principal
Week 8
It is hard to believe we only have 2 weeks of school left for the year. We have lots of fun activities planned for the final weeks. Keep an eye on Facebook and emails for reminders around these events.
Planning for 2024
We are busy planning enrolments, facilities, resources and staffing for the 2024 school year. If you know you will not be with us next year could you let us know so we can factor this in our planning. If you know anyone considering Thangool for their child, please get them to contact our office as all our staffing is based on day 8 numbers.
Year 6 End of Year Celebrations
Graduation RSVP’s are in and planning is being finalised in what is always a special celebration for our year 6 students. We look forward to celebrating their primary years and having a night focussed on the wonderful people they are growing into.
Transitions
Tuesday, we welcome our new preps for 2024 and we have our transition afternoon where students spend the afternoon in their classroom for next year with their teacher for 2024. Our year 6 students spend their day at high school in their final transition day.
Leadership Speeches
On Tuesday at 9:00am our year 5 students will present their speeches to the school, parents are more than welcome. Voting will occur back in classrooms and positions will be announced on our final parade.
End of Year Dance
Our end of year fancy dress dance will be held on Wednesday 6 December 6-8pm. This year we will be having a handball competition as we dance to encourage fun and participation. We look forward to seeing everyone for a fun filled night of dancing, handball and end of year celebrations……what will the staff come as this year??
Reminders
With the weather warming up please remember it is an expectation that children wear a hat (wide brimmed, no caps). Also, it is strongly recommended for children to continue to bring water bottles.
Lost Property
We have a large pile that is growing. Please get your child to check lost property if they are missing any items. Unclaimed lost property will be donated at the end of the year.
Water Awareness - Week 10
Our Water Awareness program will run in week 10 Monday to Wednesday. Our primary focus is to give kids the skills to identify danger, not get themselves into danger and to safely assist including sending for help. Over our Christmas period children are often exposed to water situations and this is when the highest occurrence of water incidents occurs.
Aqua Code:-
- Go Together
- Stay afloat and wave

- Rescue procedures
- Rope throws
