This week was a wonderful example of our school community working together to achieve shared goals. It takes collaboration from a range of people to organise, plan and facilitate an event like the swimming carnival and it was evidenced by this week’s carnival how effective people can be when working together as part of a team. Team work was visible through students who were cheering on their peers, patting a friend on the back who was feeling nervous and passing a drink bottle to someone who had just come back from swimming; from staff who were working together to ensure smooth transitions between races and whose voices were raspy from cheering on their students and from a huge turnout of parent and family supporters, who cheered and assisted with voluntary roles throughout the day. In particular, recognition of the effort and time our physical and education teacher Matt Desmarchilier had put into planning has to be commended, I think everyone would agree that he has done a fabulous job. House Points results areas follows:
Our intention and focus for the swimming carnival is to encourage participation, fun and positive attitudes towards water safety. This is something we were incredibly successful of achieving, as student participation and engagement was very high. While students had pre-planned which races they were going in, on the day we had many students opt into more races because they were enjoying themselves so much and wanted to work together to achieve points for their house. As I looked around the carnival, our school value of ‘Be your best’ was clearly on display and it was a day where you felt proud to belong to the school community here at Lindisfarne Primary.
As the end of term 3 nears closer, it is a great opportunity for students, staff and families to reflect on the learning, growth and success our students have experienced. We have had some fantastic opportunities for our students this term including the Egg performance, the Hurricanes hosting breakfast club, Science week, Book week, the Growing Up program, band and music workshops, the Winter Carnival and many excursions. These opportunities are all positive experiences which enhance and complement the teaching and learning at Lindisfarne Primary. I wish all students, families and staff a safe, restful term 3 break and look forward to seeing everyone return for term 4.

Footy Colours Day – Friday 27th September, 2019
On the 27th of September the SRC has organised for our school to participate in Footy Colours Day. This event is to raise money to support children who have cancer. Please help us support this worthy cause by coming to school dressed in clothes that represent the colours of your favourite footy team or teams and donating a gold coin.
The SRC will also be hosting a competition (K-2 & 3-6) during lunch time to see who can kick a football the furthest! All children are welcome to enter.
Outstanding levies and other charges continue to be of concern. If you have not yet made payment, we would very much appreciate you doing so, or if there is any reason you may be finding it difficult to pay, please call the office team to talk about a flexible payment option.
Payment options are on the back of your invoice or statement. You can also pay in person or by calling the office on 62439232 and paying by credit card over the phone.

Waste Free Fridays
The SRC are continuing with our War on Waste and asking that all students support the Waste Free Fridays by placing the correct rubbish into the correct bins and taking home anything that is not a scrunchable or is not compostable.
Scrunchables
We have a RED bin for our scrunchables and a GREEN bin for compostable waste. Currently the SRC are investigating ways to educate all students on how to use this bin system correctly and ways to recycle this waste appropriately.
Mathematicians at Work!!!
On Sunday 15th September, four teams competed at the Mathematics Association of Tasmania’s Maths Relay at Rosny College. Participates were given 45 minutes to answer 20 questions of varying difficulties. All four teams showed determination and persistence throughout the competition with our grade 5/6 team finishing 3rd place with a score of 180 out of 200, and with 1:52 to spare! This placed them 6th place overall in the competition. The students involved were thrilled to be able to compete in this event and should feel very proud of their efforts.
Entries are now open for the 2019 Schools Triathlon Challenge. Forms are available from the school office. Entries are due in by Monday 23rd September.
Entry is $25 per competitor, and students can choose to enter as an individual, as a team, or participate in both individual and team events. Payment is to be handed in with entry form.
Competitor packs will be handed out closer to the event. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
For our Enterprise activity the grade 5/6s decided to make some pizzas and use the money raised from selling the pizzas to help our school garden. We made a survey to test which toppings would be included on our pizzas. The 3 classes joined up and eliminated the toppings we wouldn't put on our pizzas. We sold the pizzas off to staff and grade 5/6 students, and made $259.50 for our efforts. They were delicious and were fun to make!
Ella and Eelaf, Grade 6.
