Dear Parents and Community Members
SCHOOL REVIEW
Dalmain is currently in its third year as an independent public school. As a part of being an
IPS, schools undergo a formal review which is conducted every three years and involves an
external review group conducting visits to schools and analysing how well schools are
progressing. Our school review will take place over two days on 25/26 May and will involve
the reviewers talking to all stakeholders within our school community - administration, staff,
school board, parents and students. Much of the review will focus on our School Business
Plan and whether or not we have achieved the targets and objectives outlined. A formal
report will be compiled by the review group following their visit. This will be made available
for everyone to read.

BUSY BEE (Saturday, 23 May)
Dalmain has a number of initiatives currently being run or developed. These include
Waterwise, Wastewise and Nature Play projects. To progress our Wastewise program here
at school there are several tasks that need to be undertaken. Brett Cowey has already made
an excellent start. Jobs requiring attention include cleaning up the basketball court, moving
and setting up garden beds, trimming trees and jackhammering (making holes) to plant fruit
trees. We will also need some extra wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, large brooms and the like
to assist. Time: 1.00pm - 4.00pm Saturday 23 May. If you can help, even for an hour, please
let the school office know.
ASSEMBLY
Our next class assembly will be hosted by our Year One students from TA 1 next Thursday 21
May. Parents and community members are welcome to join us in the undercover area.
NAPLAN
Well done to all of our Years 3 and 5 students who have been working very hard this week
participating in this national testing program. Results from the assessments will be
forwarded home to the parents of students involved late in term three.

INTERSCHOOL SPORT
It was a great effort from our teams last week competing against Hawker Park. Netball (A&B) and football registered
wins, while our soccer team tried very hard. A special mention and thank you to Steve Fletcher who assisted with
refereeing and organisation. This week our teams have a bye.

We are having a Busy Bee to progress our Waste Wise
program and in particular to clean up the basketball court
next to the Pre Primary.
The worm farm and the compost area are now both located
on the basketball court and we are looking at moving and
setting up garden beds, trimming trees and jackhammering
holes in the court service to make way for the planting of
fruit trees.
If you can help, even for an hour, please let the school office
know. We will also require some extra tools and equipment
including wheelbarrows, shovels, pruning saw, shears, rakes,
large brooms and the like.
