Dear Parents and Caregivers, We have reached the end of Term 3 and my final days as relieving principal. A hear elt thank you for the support of my colleagues and the community whilst I have undertaken this role and especially to Mrs Behl-Shanks as relieving assistant principal. A par cular highlight of the last month was last Friday evening at the P&C Trivia. Congratula ons to the “Chook Chasers” who managed to p the ‘Staff’ by a few points to be the 2014 Trivia Champions - they are no doubt s ll gloa ng. As is o en asked in News, “Was it fun?” and “Did you like it?” I answer, a big “Yes” to both. An enormous expression of gra tude to David Brown (as a Birrahlee parent) for organising and running the Trivia night. Our reless P&C are already booked for Kiama Seaside Markets this Sunday and are preparing for Tangalla’s Barefoot Bowls fundraiser in October. Further details are available in this newsle er. Family ckets can be purchased, invite a few friends and make it a fun a ernoon. Exci ng news this week. Congratula ons to Sam Aubin on his selec on in the Regional Deba ng team. The adjudicators chose him from among the 12 students in the development squad. This result reflects Sam’s skill and dedica on. Well done Sam.
In Week 2 Term 4, all classes will host a local preschool visit and we look forward to mee ng our new 2015 Kindergarten students. Current Year 5 students will assist our newcomers in se ling in at the orienta on a ernoons and gree ng parents. This is an important leadership role for Year 5 and it is rewarding to see how helpful, welcoming and caring our students can be.
Have a happy and safe holiday and welcome back a well rested and sun soaked Ms Hammond-Warne for Term 4 on Tuesday 7th October (a er the Long Weekend). Carol Xuereb

Golf Gala Day On Friday 12th September, students in Years 3 to 6 who par cipate in golf for their school sport le school at 12:30 and headed down to Jamberoo Golf Club for a special gala day organised by the golf club and Jack Newton Junior Golf. Upon arriving at the golf club, we broke into our teams (for which each team created a team name) and went with Phil Lewis, Jim Bu , Linda McGlinchey and Rose (of the golf club), Mrs Mar n, Mrs McCormack and Tanya Kirby from Jack Newton Junior Golf. Students received small group and individual coaching as they played an ambrose game (a coopera ve golf game where each team plays to get their lowest possible score whilst compe ng against the other teams). Once each team finished the 5 hole game, we met at the club house for a sausage sizzle and a presenta on for the two winning teams.
I believe Jamberoo School students are privileged to work with these outstanding community members from the golf club. Students loved playing on the ‘real’ golf course and also loved having parents there suppor ng them as they played. So I’d like to express a huge thank you to Jamberoo Golf Club and to Jack Newton Junior Golf for making such an opportunity possible for our students. I’d also like to thank all the students, as their behaviour was excellent at the gala day.

Dear Ci zens of New South Wales... I'm sorry I haven't got to you for a long me, but believe it, It actually gets warm here. I've been to the french speaking province of Quebec, all the way to the towns of Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and to the home of the white bears, (that are not Polar Bears) in the forests around the town of Prince Rupert which is North America's main port to Asia. WOW, But it rains all year long in Prince Rupert, non stop. Look up some pictures of the white Kermode Bear which is actually a black bear with some very unique gene cs. Look up the city of Montreal in Quebec too. It's got a space age Stadium and science museum... Come to think of it, Vancouver's got that too. But now I can say "been there, done that" to North America. Here we have got an extra extra long holiday, two months already, plus a two month long teacher strike, imagine that. Extra long holiday for every kid in Bri sh Columbia! Feel free to reply and ask ques ons.
From a humble small child in Bri sh Columbia, Canada. (Marley)

On Tuesday of this week, students from Stage 3 a ended the Milo T20 Blast Cup Cricket Gala day. Each team played three games of modified cricket against neighbouring schools. All students displayed excellent behaviour and sportsmanship and all agreed it was an excellent day. A big thank you to Mr Delamont for his assistance with the boys’ teams and to all of the parents who helped with transpor ng students to and from the venue. Melinda Kunkler
Below are recounts of the day by some of the students:
On Tuesday Stage Three par cipated in a cricket gala day at Croome Road. We had two girls teams and two boys teams. My team, which was team one were very successful winning all of our games. The first team we played was from Shellharbour and the score was 42-36, the second game we played was against the All Stars from Albion Park Rail and although we didn't think we would, we won 148-124. Our third game was against the other Albion Park Rail team, which we also won, with the score being 153-143. If the rain hadn't started we would have played another game but instead it was called off and we finished early. The other teams also did well with the other girl’s team winning 2/3 of their games, the first boys team also won 2/3 of their games and the second boys team winning 1/3 games. It was a fun day and there was also a catching compe on but the best part was the milo we got at the end. Tireni Mawbey
On Tuesday 16th September students from years 5 and 6 travelled to Croome Road for a cricket gala day. Altogether there were 4 teams, two girls teams and two boys teams. The boys team 1, won their first game, lost their second and won their third. The boys team 2 lost their first, won their second and lost their third game. The girls team 1 won all three of their games and the girls team 2 won the first, lost the second and won the third. Overall it was a fun and enjoyable day. Thanks to Mrs Kunkler for organising the day for us and Mongo for looking a er us. Jayden Foye
On Tuesday, most of Birrahlee went to a cricket gala day. It was a great day. We had four teams on the day, which went excep onally well. I was in the boy team one. The first game we played was extremely close. We were versing Shellharbour with the final score being 99-97 our way. The second game was against Tullimbar and we lost 101-79. Fortunately in the last game we released our inner Ricky Pon ng versing Albion Park and won 73-60. In a nutshell it was an exci ng and overall fun day. By Samuel Aubin
On Tuesday the 16th September, Jamberoo Public School sent off 4 Stage 3 teams; 2 boys and 2 girls teams to a Cricket Gala Day at Croome Road Sports Oval. The girl’s team1 were very successful and won 3 out of 3 of their games. Team 2 also did very well winning 2 out of 3 of their games. The boy’s teams also did very well with team 1 taking out 2 wins and team 2 winning 1 out of 3 games. There were 5 schools involved in the day, including Mt Terry, Albion Park Rail, Shellharbour, Minnamurra, Tullimbar and Jamberoo. We all had a great day. Sarah Williams

We made it!!! I’d like to congratulate all the parents for making it to the end of term 3. Its been crazy this term with SIMF, Southern Stars, public speaking and sport gala days just to men on a few. Well done to all those parents who have driven kids to rehearsals, car pooled, a ended performances, helped with spor ng teams, etc. It’s a big effort from everyone involved to get everyone where they need to be, so well done to all involved. Great team work and community spirit.

Calling year 5 parents: We need some helpers to organise this so if you can help, please let the office or Sharon Weir know. Remember year 5, next year is your turn to be asking for help to run your formal.
TRIVIA NIGHT: What a great night this was. Can’t thank David Brown enough for all his hard work and great organising. There were lots of laughs, lots of great ques ons and lots of prizes and I’ve had lots of feedback from parents on how much they enjoyed it. Please see David’s message in the newsle er for how much money they raised. Well done.
WORKING BEE: The working bee was cancelled due to the terrible weather so we’ll have to organise another day early in term 4.
FATHERS DAY STALL: Thank you to Michelle Heyblok on running another fantas c Fathers Day stall. Michelle and her helpers did a great job and, as usual, was very popular and a great success.
HELP NEEDED FOR KIAMA SEASIDE MARKETS THIS SUNDAY. Susan Mills is doing another great job organising this but s ll has some spots le on her roster. Please, please, please consider dona ng an hour of your me on Sunday to help with the bbq as we need many hands.
