Welcome everyone to the final term of the 2015 school year.
It was great to see everyone starting back at school yesterday and meeting our new students and their families.
One of our focuses for this term is to begin preparation for next year. Two events we will be running to assist with this will be a Kindergarten Information Session and a welcome for families starting at our school for the first time in 2016.
The Kindergarten Information session is designed for parents who have enrolled a child in our Kindergarten program for 2016. The purpose is to provide information, answer questions, meet staff and to familiarise participants with the school facilities. This will be held on Wednesday, 11th of November at 8:45 am in the school library.
An invitation will be sent to all families who have enrolled a child in our 2016 Kindergarten program.
The Welcome for New Families is targeted at families who will be starting their children in pre-primary through to year 6 at the school for the first time in 2016. The purpose is to provide information, answer questions, meet the school leadership staff and to familiarise participants with the school facilities. Children are very welcome to attend and see what their new school is like.
This will be held on Monday, 7 th December at 2:00 pm in the school library. Invitations will be sent to all families who will be new to the school in 2016.
On a different note some of our students will be participating in the Inter-school Athletics Carnival on the
18 th
of October. I extend to all our representatives my best wishes.
Have a great week everyone.

A cool school magnet will be sent home with the hard copy of this
Newsletter. Please ask your children for it as it may get forgotten in a school bag.
Our bike racks are starting to fill which indicates students are riding their bikes and scooters to school—which is fantastic. Please remember that bicycle helmets are compulsory by law and must be worn at all times when riding. It is also important to remember cycling courtesy. Ring your bell or make your self known to pedestrians sharing the paths. A little warning could save an accident occurring.

The TRPS Senior Choir were given the opportunity to sing at the opening ceremony of the School Sport WA
District High Schools Country Week. This was an excellent opportunity for our students to showcase their talents to an audience in the wider community.
They performned on Monday 21st September at the WA Basketball Centre in Mt Claremont. Students wore their TRPS Choir shirts with pride and sang beautifully.
Enrolments for December/January programs are now open. It is important for every child to learn to swim and develop essential water safety skills. VacSwim’s school holiday programs are conducted by qualified instructors who teach children the skills to be confident swimmers and safe in the water. This year there has been a small price increase from $10.00 per enrolment to $12.50 per enrolment
(family enrolment for three or more children living at the same address is now $34.50). For further information and online enrolment visit education.wa.edu.au/swimming
Our newsletter is starting to get lengthy as we include both school and community based information. Eventually our newsletter will only be available electronically and we will phase out the hard copy sent home with the oldest student from each family. This week, only a 4 page shortened version will be sent home and the full newsletter will need to be viewed electronically. This can be done by email, Connect, Skoolbag App or our website. Please contact administration if you require assistance viewing our news-

Alternatively you can pay by cash or cheque and return the provided envelope to the school on the photography day. If you place your order online please DO NOT return your envelope to school.
Any parent who forgets or is unable to supply their envelope on the photo day will have five (5) days to complete an order online. Late payment envelopes cannot be accepted by the school office or by Kapture.
You also have the option to order a sibling photo package online, however please be aware there may be a limited number of sibling orders that can be placed due to time constraints on photo day. We suggest you place your online sibling order as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
