Council Update from Administration

June 2017

Sharing: Grade 1 Claymation Movies. Grade 4 Legacy Presentation:
Acknowledging the Land

1. We would like to thank School Council and the Fundraising Society for
their support during our first year together at New Brighton School.
We feel we have worked carefully together to create a true sense of
school community and look forward to working together in 2017-
2018.

2. We welcomed 100 of 120 new Kindergarten students at our
orientation. That is a really good turnout and our feedback for the
event was positive. Our Grade 4 Leaders were excellent ambassadors
for the school. Our Grade 4 students hosted their Celebration of
Learning. Singing, Dancing, sharing their Legacy Projects and
enjoying a few snacks and a photo-booth with family and friends was
a great way to celebrate their time at New Brighton School

3. Plans are well under way for our first Sports Day. Grade 3 students
have taken up the leadership for this event. They are incorporating
their classroom learning into Sports Day with the theme of Every
Drop Counts. Classroom Blogs have many of the details around how
the theme is being incorporated into our last big school event of the
year.

4. School Fees Decisions are still being made around some of the
impact of the regulations supporting Bill 1. Currently, our best
information, as it impacts New Brighton School, is:
There can be no new fees and no fee increases
Field Trips and In-School events for which there is a fee
must be charged per event (not an Activity Fee) this will
be a change for Kindergarten only at New Brighton
Fee announcements will be shared with parents when
decided

4. Back to School Information will be posted on the school website and
shared on classroom blogs by June 23.
