Kaya,
This is a special welcome back to school newsletter. I hope everyone had a wonderful break and is ready for a busy Term Four!
Swimming
There is a lot going on this term, kicking off with swimming lessons which start tomorrow. As mentioned, we are now at Craigie Leisure Centre for our swimming which has been a late change as Joondalup Arena is having repairs. Unfortunately we have afternoon sessions, which means it will be really tight to return a group to school before the bell. For this reason we are going to stay in our bathers, return to school, and get changed at school (or students can go home in bathers). Tomorrow is our first day, and we will be able to see how much time it takes to physically get back from the pools. Parents are welcome to attend the venue as spectators, but will be required to pay an entry fee.
Junior students will be leaving school at 12.20pm and return at approximately 1.55pm.
Senior students will be leaving school at 1.10pm and return at approximately 2.45pm.
We have colour run coming up soon, and you will have received notes about this today. It is a really fun afternoon, and everyone can be part of it, even if you choose not to have coloured power splashed on you. This year we have a couple of extra things happening too – make sure you check the note coming home. Students who attend Kindy A group are welcome to attend, but must be accompanied by their parent.
Election day
This Saturday 14 October is election day. Our school is a place where you can come and vote. Our P&C is hosting a sausage sizzle, so if you are in the area pop down, vote and grab a sausage sizzle.
Adventure Week
Is in week 9 and information will start to come home about what our junior and senior students are doing for the week. All students will be going to Outback Splash. Families are invited to come and join us.
Carols by Candlelight and Campus 30th Anniversary
Joondalup Schools will be holding Carols by Candlelight and our 30th birthday celebration on Friday 1 December 2023. More information will be sent to families closer to the date.
Traffic Warden – Candlewood Blvd
There are three traffic wardens that work around our school perimeter each morning and afternoon. They are positioned on Jolstra Ave, Blue Mountain Drive and Candlewood Blvd. At present the traffic warden positioned on Candelwood Blvd. is on leave and we have not been informed of an interim replacement as yet. Traffic Wardens are managed by the Western Australian Police Force, not our school. We have given feedback of the importance of having someone stationed at this point.
