Prep Expo…
Last week, the P&C attended the 2019 Prep Expo to greet and welcome new
(and continuing) parents and talked about everything P&C. There was a
tremendous amount of interest in being an active community member.
A special thank you to our volunteers from our P&C Executive and Music
Support Group for attending.
Carpark Reminder…
The Weller Road carpark will be closed until further notice from Monday 11th November.
The Toohey Road pick-up area will become the main drop off and pick up area and it is recommended

year 5’s have now? You can also purchase a senior pin to be work on hats or school shirt or

TUCKSHOP NEWS
Tuckshop Day…
Last Friday was Qld Tuckshop Day. We would like to thank the
parents and students who wished us well on the day. It’s great to
be appreciated. Personally we would like to sincerely thank our
hard-working volunteers – we simply couldn’t run the tuckshop
without your support. Many, many thanks – you are all fantastic!
On Friday night the 3 of us attended the Qld Association of School
Tuckshops “Tuckshop of the Year” awards. We were finalists again
so we were awarded a Top 10 Tuckshop in Qld Award. It was great
to be recognized by our Association in this way. This year’s theme
for TOY entrants was Community Engagement and it was
remarkable to hear the stories of the other finalists – there are
some amazing people working in tuckshops, doing wonderful work
in their schools and communities.
We heard about a tuckshop that had prepared lunches for other schools during the floods in
Townsville early in the year; a tuckshop that had to suddenly cope with an influx of students after a
fire at a nearby school; and the incredible story of Caboolture Special School – their tuckshop is run
by a teacher, a teacher aide and 9 students. They are open 2 days a week and use the tuckshop to help
develop cooking and social skills of the older students. It certainly was humbling for us to be
considered for Tuckshop of the Year, given the outstanding contributions made by these tuckshops.
This Term…
The last day for tuckshop this year will be Wednesday 11 December. We are not open on the last
Thursday and Friday of the school term.
As we head to the end of term we run our freezers down for the long school holiday break so as the
term progresses you might find that some items are not available. We try hard to get our numbers
right and make all items available up until the last day, however it is not always possible so we
apologise in advance if your child’s favourite item is not available as we get closer to the end.
Farewell…
We would like to say a very, very fond farewell to Shannon Parish, Educational Leader from SACCS.
Shannon had worked for the P&C Association for 13 years, a long time to invest in one organization.
We can say without doubt Shannon has been our biggest supporter – always telling us what a great
job we do, encouraging us to try new things and just generally being our friend. As the school numbers
have grown we have become busier and some days we have struggled to have the lunches ready by
the bell. Countless times we have yelled Shannon’s name and she has come running to help us finish
lunches and pack bags. She has helped us on more occasions than we can count – so many times that
we have dubbed her “the 4th-in-charge” – actually I think she gave herself that name and it has stuck!
We wish her so much happiness and success in her future – we will miss her energy, enthusiasm and
support, more than words can say.

of the concert, 21 November, or to the table outside the Holland Park SHS hall on the evening of the

Fundraising… The P&C Music Support Group fundraises to support the school’s music program. Each year, old loan instruments need to be retired and new instruments purchased to replace them and to support the expansion of the program. Chocolate Fundraiser Thank You!... A huge thank you to all who assisted with the MSG chocolate fundraiser. We appreciate your efforts in selling (or buying!) chocolates. Profit from this fundraiser is around $1400 - a fantastic result! We will put this to good use replacing some of the older loan instruments for the music program. MusicFest – Junior and Senior Choirs … A massive CONGRATULATIONS to all our choir performers on their outstanding performances at MusicFest this year! Junior Choir were awarded a PLATINUM and the Senior Choir were awarded a GOLD Award for their performances. Congratulations on a wonderful performance. MusicFest – Junior, Intermediate and Senior Concert Bands … A massive CONGRATULATIONS to all our band musicians on their outstanding performances at MusicFest this year! This year both our Year 4 Junior Concert Band and Year 5 Intermediate Concert Bands were awarded the very prestigious and highly sort after PLATINUM Award! The Year 6 Senior Concert Band also performed very well and received a GOLD Award for their performance. Congratulations to all our wonderful performers on their hard work, dedication and musical success. New MSG members needed… Please consider joining our small dedicated group of parents that work behind the scenes to help support our teachers and ensure the success of our wonderful music program at WHSS. A number of our long-term committee members will be leaving at the end of 2019 and we would love some new parents to join the committee to help with fundraising, events, uniforms etc (you don't need to know anything about music!). Our next meeting will be next year, keep an eye on the newsletter for the date. MSG usually meets twice a term. For more information, contact the MSG at wellershillmusic@gmail.com - or just come along to a meeting and find out what we do. MSG email list… If your child is new to the music program this year, or you haven't received any emails from the MSG, please subscribe to our email list. This will ensure you receive communications relevant to your child's ensemble(s) or the music program. An online sign up form is available from the music program page on the WHSS website (https://wellhillss.eq.edu.au/Extracurricular/Music/). Thank you for your support! MSG
