No Lunch Policy Reminder
Bethany Christian School recognises that nutrition is a critical part of health and development in a child’s life. Better nutrition is related to child’s physical and mental health improvement and stronger immune systems. Healthy children learn better and students with adequate nutrition are more productive. Therefore, our school endeavours to provide efficient and effective interventions to enhance the wellbeing of our students.

Sandwich Bar
•    If students forget their recess or lunch, a sandwich will be provided rather than parents being called - this will be executed by the Wellbeing Team. 
•    Parents are welcome to notify the school via phone or email (office@bethany.sa.edu.au) in the morning should you require a sandwich for your child.
•    We encourage students to visit the Sandwich Bar rather than parents dropping off food for them.
•    If the child has consumed all their recess and lunch at recess, despite sound management from the teacher, the student will be provided with a sandwich.
•    Notes are sent home each day via email to inform the parents/caregivers. 

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact the school office on 8283 0000.

Thank You

The NED Show is coming this Friday, 11th August!

NED's Mindset Mission is a character education program that centers around three important messages that have lifelong relevance: Never give up, Encourage others and Do your best. During the assembly, students will learn about the importance of these three life skills while also enjoying storytelling, magic, humor and yo-yo tricks. The show will be held in the Performing Arts Centre at 2pm. Parents are welcome to attend but we ask that you sit in the balcony section of the PAC.

The yo yos will be available for purchasing from Monday 14th to Friday 18th August only. The Student Order Form will be sent home on Friday with your child. Please return the order form along with payment in a sealed envelope or zip locked bag. The yo yos will be sent home with your child.

Year 5 businesses are on again!

As a part of our HASS unit, our Year 5 students have been learning about the various components of businesses. They have the opportunity to develop their own business idea and try to turn it in to a reality! Their hard working profits will go towards their chosen charity.

After spending weeks developing their business model, presenting their idea, trialling their product and working through feedback, they are finally ready to begin!

Businesses will be open Monday to Friday under the veranda in front of the staff room during Week 4 (next week).
 
The stalls include: hamburgers, sausage in bread, pancakes, milkshakes, spiders, jelly, ice cream sundaes, brownies, popcorn, s’mores, fruit skewers, toasted marshmallows and games to play! Items range from $1 - $4. All stalls are cash only.

A lot of time and effort has gone in to these businesses, so thank you for supporting our students as they learn and develop valuable life skills through this experience.

Mr Kempster, Mr Richardson, Mr Tothill, Mr Taylor 

This year Book Week will be held in Week 5 of this term (Monday 21st August to Friday 25th August). More information will be sent home soon.

Congratulations to the following students who have completed the Premier's Reading Challenge.
