It was great to see all the children dressed as book characters. The costumes were fantastic. Thank you to Miss Wedlock for organising the parade and the author visit. The DoE Swimming Scheme commences on Monday 29th August and runs every school day for 2 weeks. It will be held at the Warringah Aquatic centre and children will be travelling by bus under the supervision of two teachers. This is a very worthwhile program run by Department of Education. It is of great benefit in that children receive intense instruction every day for those two weeks. Creative Arts Photos will be held on Thursday 25th August 2016 for our wonderful performers.

I am a registered psychologist with many years of experience working across a wide range of schools and districts. I deal with a wide range of issues related to you and your child including psychometric assessments (yes, they are free in schools!), social issues, behavioural issues, grief and bereavement support and anxiety. I like to meet with you prior to working with your child; after seeing me, your child will go home with a summary for them to teach to you, grandparents, neighbours.the more the better.

I hope you have been inspired by the Olympics to try and do your very best and always demonstrate outstanding sportsmanship. Please see the program in last week s newsletter for the order of events. As the Warringah PSSA rules state, all students MUST compete in the events they have been sent to represent Belrose Public School in. If a student withdraws from any event they must withdraw from all events. Students are not allowed to withdraw from events to save themselves for the finals. Students and parents need to be mindful that there are children left at school who have missed this opportunity to represent at Zone. After Monday, please wash and return the Athletics singles to Mrs Meikle not the school office. Please ensure there is a name attached to the singlet so your child can be marked off. Thank you.

We arrived in the city at around 3.20pm. Izzy, Lara, Caleb and I had to go to the sound check for the Arts Alive Combined Schools Jazz Band. After that we had a sound check for the Perjazz Band. When we were all done we went back to the holding room. At 5.00pm we went and had dinner. When we came back from dinner we went to the holding room again until it was our turn to perform. The Arts Alive Combined Schools Jazz Band was before the Perjazz Band. It was finally time for the Jazz Band s turn to perform. When we got on stage we played If I didn't have you (I had a solo). We played it really well and quickly got off stage. Pretty soon it was Perjazz Band s turn to play. We played Livin on a prayer. We played really well and it was definitely worth the wait. Kate G On Tuesday night Belrose Band went to the excellent, extraordinary, exciting Town Hall. We played one song but some kids played two songs. We sounded as good as Bon Jovi (because we played their song). The song we played was the one and only Livin on a prayer. Once we played the audience clapped with wonder. Mr Hill smiled with pride. It was a very fun night and I m sure everyone enjoyed it. Izzy
