Dear Parents and Community Members
Welcome back to what has been a very pleasant start to the term with plenty of sunshine.
This term will once again feature a large number of important school events. These include
our ANZAC Service, Dancing lessons, NAPLAN, Year 6/7 Winter Sports Program, P&C Lap-a
-thon, Book Fair, Walk to School Healthy Breakfast Day and of course class assemblies will
all take place during term two. Families should have already received a term planner. A
copy of this planner can also be located on our school website.
ANZAC SERVICE
This morning we held our school ANZAC service, which had even greater significance this
being the 100th Anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. We were privileged to have two
former members of the Australian Army, Mr Brian Haseldene and Mr Gordon Clipston. Both
men served during the Vietnam War. Mr Haseldene addressed our school community and
spoke about his experiences and the importance for all Australians to continue to remember
what those who have fought for in all wars not be forgotten. Miss Perry played Amazing
Grace on the bagpipes greatly adding to the occasion. Representatives from each class then
shared their thoughts about ANZAC Day. The service concluded with our choir singing three
very moving songs, highlighted by solo pieces by Ethan Agoma and Elsie Clark. It was
wonderful to have a large number of community members join us for this special occasion.
STUDENT ENROLMENTS FOR 2016
Applications for student enrolments for 2016 are now being accepted through our school
office. Parents of children who will be commencing Kindergarten next year will need to
complete an Application for Enrolment form. Further details about this process are located
within this newsletter and are also available on our school web site www.dalps.wa.edu.au .
Please contact the school office for further enquiries.
ASSEMBLY
All parents and community members are welcome to attend our first assembly for this term,
next Thursday, which will have a Japanese flavour to it, hosted by students from TA6 under
the direction of Mr Archbold.

P&C NEWS
A small number of parents attended our first meeting for the term. The major focus of the meeting being the
upcoming fete on 2nd May. Jane McIntyre outlined the organisation and preparation that has been put in place.
Many parents have offered support for the day. Setting up in the morning will be a big task and having many hands
on deck to help with this would certainly be appreciated. Jane also has other jobs throughout the day that she
needs assistance with, so please let her know if you are free to assist.
Anyone who has a shelter that they are happy for the P&C to use on the day
should also contact Jane. I am sure that the day will be a great success for the
P&C and our school.
Thank you to the P&C for funding purchasing of commemorative 25th
Anniversary badges for all of our students. Today every student attending
Dalmain Primary School has been given their very own badge to take home.
Have a great week,
Don Boyes

Dalmain Primary School Needs You!
The Dalmain Support-A-Reader Program has been a great success at our school since 1998 when it was first introduced as a means
of giving children extra help and assistance with their reading. This great success is due to the kindness and generosity of our
parent community who have generously given their time on a volunteer basis. However, in order for this worthwhile program to
continue as successfully as over the last fifteen years, we need more helpers who can give one hour a week of their time to hear
four or five children read on a one to one basis.
As you can see from the roster advertised in our newsletter, we have some days that still require tutors. As this
is a teaching program, training is available in order to provide volunteers with the necessary skills. The
strategies you will learn are very useful when hearing your own children read. Training requires only forty
minutes of your time. Tea and coffee are provided. We invite all parents, grandparents and friends to
volunteer for this unique program.
If you would like to assist, please contact Mrs Hilary Winterton (TA 8) on 0434 210 609 or email:
