New Mathematics Program: Oxford Maths Parent Information Session: Tuesday 9th November 1.30-2.30pm

As you are aware, Newborough Primary School will be introducing a new Mathematics program in 2022 called Oxford Maths.

We have organised a parent information session on Tuesday 9th November from 1.30-2.30pm on the program and how it is linked to the Australian Curriculum, assessment and reporting.

The parent session will be held in the School Library. More information will be sent out closer to the date.

TERM 4: Interm Swimming: Scarborough Beach Pool: Weeks 1 and 2

The Interm Swimming lessons for Newborough Primary School are in Weeks One and Two of Term Four (Wednesday 13th October to Friday 22nd October 2021). We have now sent out the Excursion Advice Forms with payment due by Wednesday 22nd September 2021 with the Excursion Form completed and handed in. The cost is $39 per child. Please look out for more news on Interm swimming later in the term.

The In-term swimming program is ONLY eight days long. To be of benefit, students must participate in all eight days. It is essential that payment is made this term.

Book Lists for 2022

A heads up to all parents and guardians! The School is currently working on the Booklists for 2022. These usually cost between $30 for Kindergarten to $180 for the upper primary years. This excludes the Annual Voluntary Contribution and P& C Contribution. We appreciate that parents will have many costs coming up for school in the next few months. We would like to prepare you for these costs for next year. We anticipate the Book Lists will be sent home in Week 4 of Term 4 after consultation with staff, P&C and the School Board.

Phone: 9446 1025

Please include only the student’s name and room number, reason for absence and the date in any messages – the use of apostrophes, a colon or emoji results in the school receiving a blank message, and we are unable to accurately update your child’s record.
