We have made it to the end of Term 3. This year is really flying by quickly. On behalf of all the staff at Thornhill Park PS I would like to thank everyone for your contributions to our amazing community and wish you a happy term break. We look forward to seeing you and your children on Monday 2nd October at 8.40am.
Hats
We ask that all students have a school hat for term 4. Hats area available from our uniform supplier at Dobsons. Any students who do not have a hat in Term 4 will be asked to sit in the shade during play times. This summer promises to be a hot one, so this is a very important item for your children to have. You may also want to consider packing a small sunscreen bottle or sunglasses to further protect your children from the sun. Please write your child’s name clearly on all items.
Uniform defects
We have noticed that the hoodies have some of the logos falling off. Please take your hoodie to the uniform shop if this is the case and they will put on a new logo for you.
Class requests for 2024
We are now starting the process for creating grade lists for 2024. If you feel your child would benefit from extra consideration based on academic or wellbeing grounds, please write a letter and address it to the Principal. Requests to have or not have specific teachers will not be entertained. Requests will need to be in by the end of week 2 in term 4 or they will not be considered, as the grade creation process is very complex and requires careful consideration. Please understand that we take the utmost care in ensuring we are catering to the needs of every child when creating classes.
Car parking
Thank you to those parents who continue to stay out of the car park during pick up and drop off. It is important that you continue to follow this rule as it keeps our community safe as they walk through the car park with their children.
Term 4 events
There will be a number of community based events taking place in term 4. We encourage you to take part in as many as you can to help develop the community culture here in Thornhill Park.
New Year 3/4 class
We have created and are introducing a new class in Year 3/4 to start in Term 4. Mr Smith will be taking this class. Ms Baba and Mrs Cornock/Mr Luca’s classes will be moving to the portables to ensure there is enough space for our new grades.
End of year raffle donations
If you own or work at a business and can donate prizes to our end of year raffle we would be very grateful. We hope to have a number of large prizes on offer and we are relying on connections in the community to make this happen. If you are able to help, please see the office.
Stay safe and enjoy the holidays
