Volume 2 – Issue 4– 4 June 2015
To the truly awesome Fair Committee, WSS students, Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Granddads, extended
families, ex-students, ex-staff, staff, staff's families, invited guests and participants, sponsors, local
businesses and visitors to our Fair - thank you!
This most incredible of evenings (which was 6 months long in the making for some of us), could not have
occurred without your brains, love, support and sheer hard work.
We hope that each of you had a terrific evening. As a new committee, we had our training wheels on and
we had hoped and planned to host an evening that was designed as an affordable, fun night. We think we
achieved that - we hope we achieved that!
Please note any feedback to make next year even more wonderful - we will be asking and only improving
on the fantastic formula we created. Our Old Fashioned Fair theme seems to have been a winner. We will
be asking you directly for feedback in the next newsletter - so note all of your suggestions for an even
better Fair next year - we welcome your input.
This was not a P&C event - it was a WSS event. And we are truly grateful to every effort, small, big and
the Herculean, that contributed to Friday night’s general success.
How proud are we of our WSS community? I know I am.
We have yet to collate facts and figures from the Fair but we will share some details with you in our next
newsletter.
Again we thanks our major sponsors, Bendigo Bank for the spectacular fireworks show and Riddell’s Real
Estate for our terrific animal farm sponsorship. Both of these extremely popular events were bought to you
by the generosity of these friends of Woombye school - please consider supporting or recommending
them with your banking and real estate needs.

and without your superhuman efforts, this event would not have been the success that it was. Thanks is not
enough – but we offer it whole heartedly to you all.
A big shout out goes out to Mr McGlusky for his tireless energy in setup and pack up, Miss Helen and Heather for
their ongoing support and assistance and Mr Lowik too. Our Old Fashioned celebrations occurred due to the hard
work and incredible efforts from Mr Bond, Mel Muller, Mr Kerr, Jodie Hepplewhite and Mr Dawson.
Please take the time to thank any and all of these incredible volunteers who sacrificed a lot to create an event
that many could enjoy. Next year we hope, if you enjoyed this Fair, you will participate on the night to make Fair
magic happen. We wish we had fairies to do it – but it was built on the back of many amazing WSS community
members efforts, who could see the vision of this Fair. To make it happen again (some schools only two years),
we will need commitment from school families long before the night! So if you like what you saw, consider how
you can help next time.
To the teachers and the parents that volunteered on the night – we thank you immensely. This
event literally cannot occur without people hosting the stalls. And to the folk that donated all of the
items we sold, we appreciate your efforts too.

Banking:
WSS Bendigo banking started this Tuesday. Bendigo are calling families that have registered - if you were
missed, please pop into the branch and collect your starter kit.
If you want to start a school banking account - go into the bank and open one today (with your child's birth
certificate). Woombye Bendigo Bank is open Monday - Friday 9:00-5:00pm.
Send banking as normal on a Tuesday and you will receive it back on Thursday.
Uniform shop:
No hats on the horizon. We will let you know when they are in - but I think you will easily tell as they will stand
out in the school yard. In the meantime you are permitted to wear any broad brimmed hat but not a cap. Once
the new order is here, we prefer not to see the personal coloured ones in the playgrounds. Do mark your
child's hat and other belongings. There are a lot of random black sweaters, hats and lunch boxes all around
the school.
WSS jumpers $22.00 each for these chilly, winter mornings.
Tuckshop:
As of next week we will have hot chocolates available in the tuckshop before first bell only on Tuckshop days $1 each. New winter menu starts next week. See attached menu - it will also be posted on Facebook and the
WSS website.
After School Care:
Big thank you to PCYC- After School Care for providing us with the use of their bus at the Fair - a big hit; as
well as the fantastic bunting decorating the school fence and the handmade craft made by WSS kids and
donated to the craft table.
Road safety:
Traffic tips- Fair day saw the establishment of new signage at the 30 second 'kiss and
drop' zone in front of Cobbs Cottage. Please be aware that you can and will be ticketed
for disobeying the traffic rules in this area. The local police, at the request of our
community, have been invited as a frequent presence to our school (especially
regarding school road safety).
Help needed:
Is anyone driving past Browns Plains/ Greenbank in the next few days - we need our AWOL milk can returned
to the rides people. If anyone can help with this- please do. Otherwise we have to courier it, which will cost us
significantly. Please contact ASAP if you can help with this.
Fair treasures - please save any jar fabric toppers and glass jars. We are happy to use them for next year.
Bring along to the uniform shop anytime. Fair planning for 2016 already...now we all know what we can collect
for the stalls- we can start a Fair donation box at home and start building stocks as we go.
