Dear Wideview families,

Wideview School Rides Day

Sunday 21st June

10am - 3pm

Our Rides and Mini Market Day has been scheduled for 21st June, though with the current weather, that date may be re-evaluated next week.

Shopping Safari donated all money paid to ride on their electric cars to Wideview school. Thank you Shopping Safari.

The lucky door prize winner is Mr A Gillies, who has won a 6 volts battery operated 4WD RideOn Car.

If any one is interested in our products, please visit our website www.shoppingsafari.com.au

We look forward to participating in future school events.

THULLII DREAMING

As you are aware Thullii Dreaming was postponed and has now been rescheduled for Tuesday, 9^th June. Unfortunately there are still quite a few students who have not as yet returned their permission notes and money. It would be appreciated if this could be done by Friday, 5^th June.

Kindergarten 2010 Information Day

We will be conducting an Information Day for parents of 2010 Kindergarten students on Tuesday 16th June, commencing at 12.00pm in the school hall. If you are aware of families who may be enrolling a child at the school next year please let them know about this event.

(Packages for prospective 2010 kindergarten students who are listed on our books have been sent home. If you and/or friends who have children coming to school in 2010 did not receive a package, please contact the office on 9456 1655 to arrange to have one sent.)

Debating

On Friday Wideview B had their first debate in the Premier’s Debating Challenge against Hornsby North. In what was a close debate the Wideview team of Ben, Rebecca, Olivia and Lauren did an excellent job but unfortunately narrowly lost. In the Premier’s Debating Challenge the students only get 1 hour to prepare for the debate after getting their topic. This year we have 2 teams entered and our Wideview A team (Leonie, Arielle, Ashleigh and Charlotte) will be up against Waitara this Friday.

We also have entered the Hornsby/ Hills District debating competition and have our first debate against Mt Kuring-gai Public School on Tuesday 9^th June at Mt Kuring-gai.

Public Speaking

The Wideview Public Speaking Competition is nearly completed. The winners from each of the four stages will have been decided by this Wednesday. These four winners will be presenting their speeches during the K-6 assembly this Wednesday 3^rd June, in the school hall, between 2.30pm and 3.15pm. Parents are invited to come along and see what fantastic speech makers we have at Wideview.

Last Monday 48 enthusiastic students represented Wideview PS at the Zone Cross Country Carnival. The students tried their best against a highly competitive field. Performances of particular note were Nicholas F, placing 6th, and Emma F placing 4^th in their age races. They will represent the Hornsby Zone at the Sydney North Area Cross Country Carnival on June 11 in Gosford. Lauren F ran an impressive 8^th place in her race, and just missed out on making “area”. Good luck Nick and Emma from everyone at Wideview PS!!

With such a successful start to the year in our fundraising efforts we would like to continue with some old style as well as new and exciting activities to help our school. Notices will appear shortly in the newsletter as events are booked. Even though P & C lock in particular activities we always need extra volunteers to help and even fresh ideas – contact us on wideviewpandc@gmail.com .

You may have heard the children talking as a school disco has been organised for Friday 3^rd July. Ticket sales will begin over the next few weeks.
