The Library Café on Princess Street has organised a parent and child cooking class during the upcoming term holidays.
The classes are scheduled for Friday July 10th from 10:30–12:30, and if that class is full another will run from 1–3.
The cost is $75 for one parent and one child, extra children are $20. More information is posted at the school entrance for families who are interested.
Next term we would like all of the children to have a go at learning the basics of another language.
All children will have one short lesson each week, during school time, in the language of their choice.
Languages being offered will include:
The Golden Grove School Board of Directors would like to officially congratulate the Golden Grove School teachers and staff for their contribution to the outstanding ERO report, and all of their hard work. Well done!!
A copy of the report is available at the school office.
For families interested in being more involved with the school, and who would like to help with some of the administrative tasks and other jobs a list will be put on the bulletin board outside the school’s main entrance with possible jobs.
If there is an area that you would like to help in that is not on the list please see Helena—we are grateful for any help.
The list will be posted on Thursday April 24th morning. More jobs will be added as they appear so keep your eyes out.
List:
Library is currently in the processes of being converted to a new system of operation, we are currently purchasing many books to fill the gaps we have.
If you have any books you would like to gift to the school that you are no longer needing we would like that. Give them to Helena or Dayna.
During the holidays the Golden Grove School staff will be coming up with a list of school projects they could use some help with. The list will be posted on the notice board outside.
If you have time and you are interested in any of the projects on the list please see Helena for the details of the project. Any service will be greatly appreciated and fun.
The Golden Grove School Fair held on Sunday March 15th was a wonderful success! Everyone enjoyed the fun social atmosphere, the children had plenty of amusement, and new families came and visited the school.
A huge THANK YOU to all of the families for their amazing support, fantastic donations, delicious baked goods/lollies, and for the time generously given to make the fair a success.
The school raised $1100 and plans to put the money towards extending the play fort area and purchasing the moveable attachments designed for the area.
Many children are already participating at the Weetbix Tryathlon, but we would love to see all eligible children involved. The Tryathlon is an excellent opportuniy for children to have fun, stay fit and practice their skills. Registration is online and is open to children 7 years and up.
The Golden Grove School will be having a fair on Sunday March 15th, 2009, from 11am until 3pm. We will have stalls selling items that local artists have made (ie. photo blocks), food and drink stalls (ie. squeezed juices), garage sale items (not clothing), and anything else we can dream up!
If you have any ideas we will be having a special meeting on Friday after school 3:30ish to discuss ideas.
If you cannot make it to the meeting (sorry for the short notice) and you have some ideas please let Helena know what your ideas are so we can plan them in.
Also if there are any baking or garage sale items you would like to donate to the school for the event we would be very grateful.
Finally there will be games, stilt walkers, face painters, and balloon twisters so bring along the family so that they can participate and join in the fun!!!
We recognize that an earlier start time for the senior class students will take some getting used to and we appreciate the efforts children and families are making to get to school on time.
If there is a circumstance which will prevent a child from arriving on time, and will result in their missing class time, please do let us know, otherwise children will be requested to catch up on missed lessons during their free time. We hope to encourage the senior students to move towards becoming responsible adults in the future.
