Our Scholastic Book Fair is arriving at Thomas Acres Public School soon! It will open on Monday, 25 November 2024 and be here until Tuesday, 10 December 2024. The students will have an opportunity to visit the Book Fair in the library and make 'Wish Lists'. They will bring home their Wish List and a catalogue in the week commencing 25 November 2024. Come by the library before and after school (or students can purchase during lunch and recess breaks) to support our school, whilst getting your hands on the best new children’s books! Once it's arrived, we will let you know. The students will bring home wish lists with a brochure - but we will advertise that once it occurs. The Book Fair will be open for sales from Monday, 25 November until Tuesday, 10 December 2024. Book sales will occur before and after school (from 8.30 am) and during both break times.

Transition to Kindy

Date: 27 November
Time: 1:50-2:50 PM
Location: School library

In 2024, Transition will happen on Wednesday afternoons during term 3, from 1:50-2:50 in the school library for children intending to begin Kindergarten in 2025. Families should meet our qualified teaching staff at the train station area at the front of the school by 1:50 pm. The children will walk to the library together to participate in songs, stories and other 'big school' activities. Children can be collected from the library door at 2:50 pm. Parents and/or caregivers must remain on school grounds during the session, however, we kindly ask you to stay in the train station area to allow your children to adjust to the school environment with more independence. This is a great opportunity to make contact with personnel such as the school counselor or administration staff to complete enrollment as needed, and to get to know other parents! Please note there will be additional information and orientation sessions during term 4 to help you understand Kindergarten and school life, as well as assist with how you can help your child at home with their learning. Enrol here to attend Thomas Acres Public School's 'Transition to Kindy' group in 2024.

Location: Primary COLA

We are pleased to extend invitations to the family members of students who will be receiving either a sports and/or service award today. Teachers will send a personal invitation prior to the assembly. Students are unaware they have been nominated for awards, so it would be lovely if parents allow this to remain a surprise. We are particularly excited to announce the Sportsperson of the Year and the Premier's Sporting Medal recipients during this assembly. Congratulations to all students being honored today; your achievements deserve to be celebrated!

Whole School Movie Day - Moana 2

Date: 10 December
Time: 8:55 AM-2:55 PM
Location: Dumaresq Cinemas and Koshigaya Park

The K-6 students at Thomas Acres Public School will have the opportunity to attend a whole school excursion to the movies, aimed at enhancing their social and emotional wellbeing. This outing provides a fun experience that fosters community, encourages friendships, and strengthens peer connections. Watching a film together promotes discussion and reflection on its themes and messages. Additionally, this excursion offers a break from the classroom routine and supports the school's commitment to creating a positive and inclusive learning environment. We are pleased to inform you that, thanks to a small surplus from Stage 2 Crash Night, students who participated in Crash Night can attend Movie Day at no charge.
