25.01.2022 Dear Parents and Carers, Grade 6 students and their teachers are once again planning a number of fundraising activities to help cover the cost of events later in the year. We have started by partnering with Subway to have lunches delivered to school every Wednesday for students from Prep to Grade 6. Lunch packs are available from $6.50. 50c from every sub will be donated back to our school.... All lunch orders and payments are made on-line, not at school. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity please follow the attached instructions provided by Subway. As mentioned, please email [email protected] if you have any questions or queries. Allergen and nutritional guides are available for viewing at the office. Yours Sincerely, Sam Marshall on behalf of Janna McKenzie, Gemma Donnelly and Fran Smyth Glen Dhu Primary School

25.01.2022 We are looking forward to seeing our students back at school tomorrow! Please remember, for the safety of all in our community, our preference is for students to be dropped at the school gate or door of the classroom. Parents should only enter the classroom if it essential to do so.... Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter.

25.01.2022 BOOK CLUB Issue 3 of Scholastic Book Club will be sent home with students today. Thank you for your orders last issue- the school earned a whopping $213 in Book Club rewards! These rewards are used to purchase new books for the school library and to buy prizes for school events. Orders for Issue 3 need to be submitted to LOOP by May 17th. ... Please contact Book Club Organiser Karen on [email protected] with any queries.

13.01.2022 WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY Now in its 21st year, National Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual event when all Primary School children in Australia are encouraged to walk and commute safely to school. This year the event will be held throughout Australia on Friday September 11th. All information can found at: walk.com.au... The objectives of WSTSD are: To encourage parents and carers to walk to school with primary school age children and reinforce safe pedestrian behaviour. To promote the health benefits of walking and help create regular walking habits at an early age. To help children develop the vital road-crossing skills they will need as they become mature pedestrians. At Glen Dhu, we will support this initiative by staff meeting children (and parents if they wish) at Coronation Park, THIS FRIDAY (September 11th) then walk to school as a group.

13.01.2022 Good morning Parents/Carers, It has just been confirmed by the DoE that Glen Dhu Primary is closed today due to the weather conditions and having no power. Tas Networks can not confirm a reconnection time, so it is unsafe to be at school in these conditions.... Stay safe. Marcus Cramp Principal

11.01.2022 From the School Climate Action Group - We want to save our Earth. The problem is plastic going into the ocean. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. We want you to help us reduce the amount of plastic in our lunchboxes. If we do have soft plastic, we want students to put it in the soft plastic bins. We need parents' help! We need you to pick up our soft plastic and take it to a supermarket to support Redcycle to recycle it. We just need one parent each week. Please contact [email protected] to sign up.

11.01.2022 NO SPECTATORS AT OUR CROSS COUNTRY Unfortunately, due to the Education Departments COVID safety guidelines regarding large gatherings of adults on schools sites, no spectators will be allowed at this years cross country carnival on Thursday.

03.01.2022 Stompin are looking for students aged 8-12 to be part of their next dance creation and performance project. They are offering a free workshop at Glen Dhu Primary after school on Monday for students to have a taster of contemporary dance. See Ms Jales for more details and permission forms.

03.01.2022 22nd July 2020 Dear Parents/Carers,... Firstly Id like thank all parents/carers for ensuring all our students have started the new term looking very smart in their Glen Dhu uniform. It helps create a sense of community and team when we proudly wear our school uniform. Secondly, Id like to thank parents/carers for following the advice and not entering classrooms unless it is essential to do so. Similarly, I would like to thank the parents who continue to drop off and collect their children at the school gate. We did have a large numbers of parents/carers outside the Prep classrooms this afternoon, which makes it extremely difficult to maintain the required 1.5m physical distancing between adults. We only have to look at Victoria to see that the Covid crisis is not over yet, and it remains Public Health advice to physical distance for the safety of our whole community. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter. Yours sincerely, Marcus Cramp Principal
