Oatathon
Thank you to Ms Gamble and everyone for the effort that has gone
into the Oatathon. Now is the time to collect your sponsorship
money and bring it to school. The money raised will help support
our school with English, Maths and ICT resources, along with the
establishment of an artificial turf oval.
Grade 5 Sovereign Hill Camp
On Tuesday and Wednesday our Grade 5 students took part in the
Sovereign Hill Camp. The feedback from students and staff has
been outstanding. Our students were very well behaved and there
were many highlights, including the Blood on the Southern Cross
show. Well done Ms de Jong and the Grade 5 team for all the
preparation and work that went into the camp.
Grandparents’ Day – August 31st
Our Grandparents’ Day is coming up and will be held from 2:303:30pm. This will be a great opportunity for Grandparents to take
part in classroom activities with their grandchildren and have a look
around our school. Please let our Grandparents know so they can
put this date aside.
Fathers’ Day Breakfast – August 30th
This event includes our dads hearing from our guest speaker,
racing car driver Steven Richards, then being involved in an activity
with their children in their classroom. The dads will make their way
back to the gym for a light breakfast and raffle draw. This is always
a special day in the Oatlands year, as it gives our dads a chance to
spend some school time with their children.

DAD’S BREAKFAST MEETING
Tuesday 30th August 2016
Our 2016 Dad’s Breakfast Meeting will be held on Tuesday 30th August 2016. The morning will commence
at 9:00am and conclude at 11:15am (approx).
It is anticipated on the day that all Dads will bring their children to the classroom and then just after
9:00am proceed to the gym and listen to racing car driver Steven Richards.
Following Steven’s address and prior to recess time there will be a short time for Dads to return to their
children’s classroom and assist them with a project.
At recess all Dads are invited to return to the gym for morning tea/breakfast.
We hope all Dads are able to attend this day as our breakfast meeting last year was an outstanding
success. For many Dads this day may provide a rare opportunity for them to bring their children to school
and participate during their learning time.
Some Dads may need to organise or plan an RDO with their employer.
In order to cater for morning tea/breakfast please complete the slip below and return to school ASAP
(only once please).
