School sets new dates for school photographs

Ettalong Public School has set new dates for school photographs.

Photographers will visit the school on Tuesday, October 22, and Thursday, October 24, according to school principal Ms Lynn Balfour.

"Yesterday, they came to take photographs of our Kindergarten students for administrative use only.

"These photographs were booked in to be taken earlier this year but Covid-19 had other ideas.

New dates have also been set for the dental checks that were originally planned for earlier this term.

"We can now expect the dental checks to be held over three weeks starting Monday, August 10.

"We have retained the consent forms so, at this time, we do not see any reason for futher correspondence."

Mrs Balfour has also told parents: "I want to reiterate how important it is for children to read each day and also to be read to, so they can learn to enjoy and appreciate written work.

"Literacy is the key that opens most doors in life.

"We at Ettalong Public School want every student to leave here with the best literacy skills they can possibly achieve in a primary school."
