Issue 16 – 29 May - Ascot State School

P&C activities and fundraisers which we cannot accept and must refund. In order to save time and
effort please check the account first.
We are a fortunate community - each term is full of wonderful opportunities for our children and we
appreciate your support and prompt payment of school accounts - it's how our state school
continues to provide such a varied and rich learning environment.
Many thanks.

Last week was a fabulously busy week for parents with social opportunities on Tuesday and
Thursday. The Tuckshop hosted a superb Biggest Morning Tea and it was a wonderful success.
Many lovely parents gathered to support the Cancer Council. Great prizes were raffled and over a
$1000 was raised for a very worthy cause. Thanks to Kathryn and the Tuckshop team for a great
morning.
The 3rd annual Golf Day at the Nudgee Golf Course was a cracker of an event. Many thanks to
Shannon M, Amanda B and Catherine Mc L for their stellar energy in making this P&C event flow so
seamlessly. Jane Sedgman drew the many raffle prizes and acknowledged the efforts of these
wonderful ladies and their families for the time that is dedicated to making fundraisers like this a
reality. Adrian E our super P&C president thanked our supporter, Belle Property. To Rochelle L, Kelly
H, Mrs P and Mrs McL a sincere thank you for their wonderful help. Special thanks to Nudgee Golf
Club.
Wednesday 29 May in the Staff Room, Angela Moore and Sharyn Hadden presented a workshop
aimed at helping parents gain an understanding of the Mathematics their children will be learning
daily. Some of the methods which children use haven't changed but there have also been others
where strategies and content have been developed in a different way. This was a not to be missed
opportunity. I know that when supporting my children with their Maths homework it will help me to
understand the way that they are being taught to work out the answers.
