What a busy term we have had this time. We have had Book Week, Athletics Carnival, Little Learners, Yennora’s 60th Birthday Party, excursions, Father’s Day Stall, Spelling Bee, Competitions, however there was still time to learn.
Thank you to everyone who assisted even in the smallest way in the 60th Birthday Celebrations. It was a big day for the school. We hope the “Original” students from Yennora PS had some fun and memories too.
Our Birthday Jumble Sale was successful and we have raised the money for the Swim Program 2016.
Our well-deserved holidays are here and the staff hope that everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday.

LIBRARY NEWS
Check out the new books we have in different languages and the new books Mrs Strohmayer bought from the Book Fair.
We raised $933 at the Book Fair, which allowed us to purchase some new books for the library. Well done, Yennora!!
A special thanks to Fa’alua’s family who donated $40 so we could buy 6 new books!
Congratulations to 1 /2, the class who raised the most money by purchasing books at the Book Fair - $153.
We held a prize draw for all the students who purchased from the Book Fair and they were awarded a special “Book Light up Our World” mini torch. The lucky winners were: Melqart, Rosel, Tim, Daniel, Sunia and Khalaf.
PUBLIC SPEAKING
After our school ‘s Public Speaking Finals recently, 4 students will be representing Yennora at the Fairfield District Competition to be held on Tuesday 13th October 2015 at William Stimson PS. Good luck to Natalia, Luke, Lauren and Abdulrahman. Keep practising your speech over the holidays. A note will go home to parents at the beginning of Term 4.
ENGLISH FOR PARENTS
The English for Parents Course will be back in Term 4.
PLAYGROUP
If you have a child, who will come to school next year and you are currently not enrolled in a Pre-school, it would be great to see you at our Playgroup. Miss Tina is looking forward to helping your child get used to Big School.
LITTLE LEARNERS AT YENNORA PUBLIC SCHOOL
HAS STARTED
Our pre-Kindergarten program is called “Little Learners at Yennora”. It starts at 9:00am until approximately 11:00am. The program will get our new Kindergarten students used to school, teachers, the classroom and some routines. It will be on every Friday with the exception of the 11th September 2015 (Yennora PS’ Birthday Party) until 6th November 2015. A parent has to stay on the school premises with the child, as they are not legally enrolled yet.
It is a great program.
A THOUGHT
Smile.
It’s free and makes you feel good.
