Term 3 - Week 9

Dear families, 

Get your groove on - it’s time for the disco! 

Lots of kids are excited to get their Silver and Gold with a dash of Glitter and Glam ready for tonight’s disco. It kicks off at 5:30pm, finishes at 7pm and food can be ordered on Qkr. Parents are welcome to stay and enjoy the event. There’s a wide range of P&C food for sale and the Student Council are selling packs that contain a packet of chips plus a popper or milk drink. Cash sales are available.  

Please bring a Gold Coin donation for the Student Council at the door. Entry through Lawrence Street. 

Teacher aide appreciation 

Every day our Teacher Aides make a positive difference to our students here at Central. Our school is very fortunate to have a fantastic group of talented Teacher Aides who work hard to support students in their learning and staff in their teaching – their contribution to our school is a very significant one. On behalf of our school community, we acknowledge and thank each and every one of our awesome Teacher Aides! 

Talent Show final - Wednesday 14th @ 11am 

Over the past three weeks some of our performers have been strutting their stuff for our Gympie Central’s Got Talent.  Next Wednesday, between 11am and 11:30am, we have narrowed it down to 7 finalists who will battle it out to win the title. There will be dancers, singers, puppeteers and even a Rubik’s Cube solver! Families are welcome to cheer everyone on, so come and join us for some fun in the last week of Term 3. 

Book Week - Wow!

What a fantastic morning we had celebrating Book Week. It was so wonderful to see all the students dressed as their chosen book character - it’s a real buzz seeing so many of our staff and students getting into the celebration. Thank you to Mrs Condon for her wonderful Book Week display and activities in the library. It was a lot of fun! 

Prep Year in 2023 – Enrol Now!  

We are inviting all current Gympie Central State School families and community members with a child or children starting Prep in 2023 to complete and submit an ‘Application for Student Enrolment’ form. The form is available via our website or from our office. Children are eligible for Prep next year if they are born between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2018. While the new school year is a little less than two terms away, it is important that we have as much information as possible to manage our enrolments. 

New and returning families are now invited to book their 2023 prep interviews. 

Attendance Matters 

When our students turn up, we can do amazing things with them! Regular attendance at school has so many benefits, so if the kids are well, make sure they’re at school. 

Remember, we are here to help 

Like always, if there is something that you want our support with, or if your child is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher for support.  If it is not a matter for the teacher please call the front office and arrange to meet with a member of the leadership team, so we can work through things together.  It takes a village to raise a child, so let’s work together. 

Warm regards,
Glenn Cafferky
