Fathers Day Stall
Last week our annual Fathers Day stall was held. The stall proved to be extremely
successful and we hope that all of the Galston dads enjoyed opening their gifts on
Fathers Day. Thank you to Michelle Vumbaca for coordinating this event and to the
volunteers who assisted.
Cybersmart Workshops
All permission notes to participate in the Cybersmart workshops were due on Monday 3
September. Unfortunately, any child in Years 3-6 who has not returned his/her
permission note, will not be able to attend the workshops. The parent information
sessions will be held in the school library, commencing at 6.00pm.
Galston Public School Business Directory – 3 rd Edition
It is very exciting that the Business Directory for 2013 will be our school’s third edition. For new
parents and families to our school, this is a wonderful ready reference of businesses directly
associated with our school.
If you, or a relative, are involved in a business or money making hobby please consider taking out an
advertisement in our booklet. This will let others know of the vast array of skills and talents that we
have right here and also promote your activity to the wider community. Our school is growing all
the time and we are sure there are many new connections that we could make through this
document. We have deliberately kept the prices the same as the first Directory in the hope of
making it as affordable as possible and encouraging new listings. A half page ad is very reasonably
priced at $50.00. Further details are included later in this newsletter.
Bendigo Bank 10th Birthday Celebration
On Sunday 7 October Bendigo Bank will be hosting a 10 th birthday
celebration at Galston High School. Part of the celebration will be a Children
of Galston District display. Bendigo Bank has invited all Year 3 to Year 6
children to complete a project on the theme: ‘Why Bendigo Bank is
important to the Galston & District Community’.
A note was sent home earlier this term containing the instructions to complete the project. All
completed projects need to be returned to your child’s teacher by Monday 17 September 2012.
Please ensure that you support this event, as Bendigo Bank regularly donates money to the Galston
Community, especially Galston Public School. These funds ensure that students are provided with the
many additional facilities and equipment that are necessary in modern education.
