WELCOME BACK
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back all members of our wonderful school
community for the start of Term 3. I hope everyone had a restful and
relaxing break, with a chance to recharge for another busy Term ahead
at Tootgarook.
Some major events to look forward to over the course of the Term
include our Annual Snowsports Camp in late August, Years 3 & 4 Camp
to Somers, 'FAIR DINKUM' the musical in celebration of BOOKWEEK,
Art and Cultural Festival and the Rio Olympics.
Stay tuned for more information in the Newsletter about these events over the coming weeks.

Student Safety Please take the time to regularly remind your child/ren about safety, especially
when going to and from school. Here are the important points to mention:
- Do not to talk to strangers and never accept a ride from a stranger, or accept lollies or gifts from a
stranger.
- Immediately report any issue or problem you may have when going to or
from school, to your mum, dad, or to your teacher, the Principal, Assistant
Principal or office staff.
- Always get permission from mum or dad before going to play with a friend
after school and always let mum and dad know where you will be and what
time you will be home.
We advise that, wherever possible, children should travel to or from school with an adult or with their
friends, rather than travel alone.

Today Tootgarook Primary School celebrated our 100th day at school this year. (Yes,
the year is officially half over!) In the SLC lots of games were played targeting 100

multi-age groups to celebrate and reinforce understanding of the value of 100.
Now who said, Let the count-down until the end of the year begin?
