Dear Families
Year 3 – 6 students had a wonderful day at the swimming carnival yesterday. There were some outstanding performances across the pool. For me outstanding means those students who conquered their nervousness and worries but still swum for their team, those who excelled in their races and those who really do not like to swim but turned up for their house and had a go!
Congratulations to Banksia for their first swimming carnival win in many years! A fabulous team effort!
We will have more reports next week in our newsletter.
A reminder to families that the Parent Survey opened last week and is open until Friday 20 September. Please see the item in this edition of News and Notices for the link to access the survey.
If your child is diagnosed with Whooping Cough could you please notify the school as soon as possible? This information will help us keep vulnerable students and staff safe and well. Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Regards
Anne Reeves

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to whooping cough being present in our school community, we are providing you with information about whooping cough in the link attached.
Whooping Cough (Pertussis) fact sheet | Tasmanian Department of Health
Whilst whooping cough usually starts with similar symptoms to other flu like illnesses – runny nose, fever, cough – the coughing can get worse, with severe, uncontrollable coughing being followed by vomiting or a gasping breath which results in a “whooping” sound.
If you notice whooping cough signs and symptoms, we ask you keep your child home and have them tested so you can follow the correct advice and access appropriate health care if you or your family require it. This does include keeping you child at home until symptoms have resolved.
Please consider ensuring your whooping cough vaccination is up to date.
Any queries, please contact our school health nurse Monday – Thursday via the school office (6223 6040).
Laura, School Health Nurse
