THE TERRACE TIMES
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
Welcome back to Term Three. I hope everyone had a restful and safe break. We have another very busy term ahead with Interschool Cross Country, Science Week, Book Week, Junior School Swimming Lessons, School Open Night and our Athletics Carnival and Interschool Carnival just to name a few … or should I say phew !!
Election
This Saturday is the Federal By-Election for the Perth seat vacated by Tim Hammond (and a few others around the country). As you would be aware, Anzac Terrace will be used as a polling place and our wonderful P&C are holding a sausage sizzle. If you are voting, make sure you come down to say hello to our P&C and don’t forget to buy a democratic sausage or two.
Interschool Cross Country
Good luck to all students representing Anzac Terrace in the Interschool Cross Country this Friday … we are very proud of you all. I know you will represent our school with pride and honour. Irrespective if you are first across the line or last across the line, you can hold your head high if you know in your heart you have given it your all.
Car Park Safety
Unfortunately, I have been witness to a number of very unsafe acts in our car parks by both parents and students already this term. Any car park is such a hazardous environment, and our carparks are no different. I implore you to be mindful about where you drop your child before school, be mindful about keeping your children (particularly smaller kids) close to you at all times, and be mindful about how and where you and your children cross a carpark … please !!!
WA Education Awards
As mentioned in our last newsletter, Mrs Rosie Penn and Mrs Sue Ashmore were nominated by the Anzac Terrace School Council as our candidates for the WA Education Awards. There are so many worthy recipients for these nominations at Anzac Terrace, but through the ONYA Awards and your feedback, Rosie and Sue stood out as this year’s nominations. My heartfelt thanks to all staff, students and parents who assisted in the nomination process. It is not an easy task to nominate a person for these awards, but with your assistance and helpful anecdotes, the School Council were able to assemble very worthy nominations for both Rosie and Sue.
It is important that I acknowledge the super human efforts of Steph Tarbin, Rebecca Benson, and Adam Cheetham who authored the nominations based on your feedback. Thank you so much for the many late nights poured over a keyboard ensuring not only we submitted these nominations, but that they were both legible and laudable.
Have a great week,
Stuart Blackwood

Being a Reading Sensation
As most of our students read each night, the BEARS reading program is not extra work for students, parents and caregivers or teachers, it is simply a method of calculating the number of nights the students read, and then rewards them at strategic numbers, eg 50, 100, 200 and so on.
Well done to the following students who have read for –
| 50 Nights | |
|---|---|
| Room 2 | John D |

MESSAGE FROM YOUR SCHOOL COUNCIL
Dear Parents and Friends,
In our last Newsletter the School Council asked for testimonials and kind words to support the nominations of Mrs Penn and Mrs Ashmore for the upcoming WA Education Awards.
Thanks so much to all the parents who eagerly shared the many ways these extraordinary staff members have contributed to the school. We had plenty of authentic parent feedback to complete the nominations on time. We wish Mrs Ashmore and Mrs Penn the best of luck.
I also want to thank Steph Tarbin and Rebecca Benson in particular for their tireless work in getting these nominations written, re-written and published. Thanks also to Mr Blackwood and the other staff who selflessly added additional comments to support the nominations during the busy reporting periods. A fantastic effort by all involved.
Don’t forget to keep those ONYAs coming in. This can be done via the school website now or alternatively contact us at ATPS_Council@outlook.com
Warm regards,
Adam Cheetham
ATPS Council Chair
