The students at Dalby South were extremely excited to receive a visit at our whole school parade this week from the Honourable Bruce Scott (Federal Member for Maranoa and Deputy Speaker for the House of Representatives in Parliament). He presented an Australian Flag to our school. The flag is particularly significant to our school community, as it is the actual flag that was flown in the House of Representatives on the day that our Year Six and Seven students visited Parliament House in Canberra last year. It was a great honour and privilege for our new school leaders to accept this gift on behalf of our entire school. We were also lucky enough to receive a demonstration from Mr Scott on the correct way to fold the Australian Flag.

Take a look at the aspiring writers in 3D! This week in writing groups we have been putting together ideas for Persuasive and Narrative writing. Students have been using the Seven Steps to Writing Success program which has helped with the quality of writing and use of words. This has been a fun way to enhance the planning and writing experience. The students are enjoying the new approach and are keen to engage in both group and individual work. P&C P&C would like to welcome all new families and welcome back our past families to another year at our great school of South. We have a very busy 1st term ahead of us with some big fundraising events straight up. Our biggest event this term of course is our 50th Anniversary Fete and reunion dinner. We will be running a BBQ/ canteen during this event and will need helpers with both cooking and serving. The last day of this term will see the school’s annual Cross Country being held at the AFL grounds and we will be asking parents to donate home baking for us to sell at our canteen on the day. Our last event for this term will be the Dalby Show, which we run the main food catering/ stall out of the main pavilion. This year the show dates 10th/ 11th April will fall during the school holidays. This has been a great fundraiser for the P&C and hope that parents will continue to support with helping during this event, as they say many hands make light work. All the money raised by the P&C is returned directly into the school and benefits all of our children now and in the future. If you have any questions or have ideas for us, please let us know through the office. Our meetings are every third Monday of the month in the library starting at 7:30pm. Everyone is more than welcome. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 50th Anniversary Fete Helpers Please tick time slots where you are happy to help.

This week our focus for PB4L is on the concept: Be respectful – Use kind words and tone/ Be Kind to others/ Be an active listener. Secondhand Clarinet for sale. Jupiter brand, excellent condition. $350 neg Contact Angela 0400659467 During our PB4L lesson this week Teachers are focussing on ways that students can use appropriate and polite language towards their peers and adults. This includes using polite language (e.g. please, thank you, you’re welcome) as well as using kind words to solve conflicts (e.g. apologising, offering to help) A handy quote to demonstrate the topic this week is: “Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you. Not because they are nice, but because you are.” (Anonymous) Cnr Owen and Bunya St, Dalby QLD 4405w Telephone (07) 46723888 w Fax (07) 4672 3800 Cnr Owen and Bunya St, Dalby QLD 4405w Telephone (07) 46723888 w Fax (07) 4672 3800
