Tuesday 24 December 7pm Come along and enjoy an hour or two Christmas Eve Carol Service Portobello Presbyterian Church Library News I'm one of the volunteers who open your library for you. While I was there a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking what a great repository of reading it is. I thought of all the pages of the books that had been turned by so many people over the years. Families or individuals have come in to return books and gone out with others, sometimes old books to be reread or one from the new books section. The convenience of having a library, no matter what size, in the middle of the community is so special. Come in and see for yourselves one day soon. Lyn Dowsett Last day for books to read over Christmas and the New Year is Friday 20 December Opening again on Wednesday 8 January 5.30-7.30 We have had our usual busy Term 4 and there are plenty of things still to happen before we finish the term on the 20th December. One of the highlights earlier this term was the support we got from local artists and the school community when the Home and School Committee, led by our wonderful President Liz Luscombe, organised and ran a very successful Art Auction to raise money for arts programmes at the school. It was a great night and we raised over $10,000 which was a fantastic effort. We have been very lucky to have had Liz’s leadership and organisational skills over a number of years and appreciate all she has done for our school! We had an Athletics event with other local schools in the second week of term and large numbers of senior pupils have gone on to compete at the South Zone Athletics day and the Otago Athletics Champs. Term 4 is usually a great time for Athletics but the wet weather has made it a bit of a challenge to do the athletics practice we usually mange to fit in. We are also looking forward to running our School Cross Country event this term. Recently all classes have headed to the Art Gallery to do some great art workshops. We took senior children to the Ignition Writing and Illustrating Workshop at the Public Library and also had a class of Year 5 children head to the Portobello Marine Studies Centre where they headed out onto the harbour in the Polaris to go shark spotting. This week the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra are bringing six musicians to our school to teach the children more about their orchestra. It is great to have a wide range of learning experiences available for our students. Before we finish the year, I just want to acknowledge the wonderful support we have had this year from grandparents and retired people within our community, as well as our parents. We have a group of people who consistently come to school each week to help out with reading and literacy programmes. We are very grateful to our parent, grandparent and community volunteers. You make a real difference to the children’s learning. Finally the school would like to wish everybody a happy holiday season ahead. Have a wonderful time with family and friends.
