Dear Parent/Guardian
The cost to each student will be $5.00. This is to cover admission to the Devonport Olympic Pool including
supervision by pool staff, a can of cordial and an ice cream. Students will have to pay extra if they wish to use the
waterslide facility. Whilst kiosk facilities are available, students are encouraged to bring food, drink, suitable clothing
and sunscreen. The walk to the pool will take approximately 1½ hours students are strongly advised to wear
sensible footwear, to bring a water bottle and wear a hat.
We will be departing at about 9.00am; students and staff will walk to the pool via Forbes, Steele and Formby roads
from where the course will follow the walking tracks past the Bluff and Don Reserve. Students will leave the pool at
approximately 1:45 pm and walk back to school via Steel Street and William Street.
Could you please complete and return the permission slip below. Your child should hand the slip, together with the
$5.00 cost to their Principal teacher by Thursday 10th December. Please note that this is a normal school day.
Yours sincerely

Anti Poverty Week
In term three the Prefects organised Anti Poverty Week. This fundraiser was held in the week of the 11th to
the 17th of October. During the week each leadership committee had the opportunity to take part and
create an activity or event to raise awareness. Although bad weather interrupted some activities, many still
went ahead. The Citizenship class held a barbeque that raised a huge
$452.00 which was donated to World Vision. The week saw a rice
eating competition held by the Prefects and a quiz held by the Grade 9
Council. Poverty wrist bands were sold throughout the month raising
$106.85, including donations. Altogether this was a successful event
raising a grand total of $558.85 for World Vision.

Kids4Kids
Last month The Grade 9 council attended the AUSSI Kids4Kids conference at Camp Banksia. All of the
council members had an active role on the day which had nearly 400 students representing primary and high
schools across the north of the state. The conference focused on sustainable living with the students from all
schools conducting workshops showing other students what their class had done. Companies and
organisations also had workshops where students got hands on experience making food, planting trees,
making paper and even getting to know crayfish. Monica Corbett and Lauren Sims were M.C’s for the
conference with Kate Leiper and Sarah Baird also giving a presentation on the aims and goals of the
conference. The highlight of the day was a talk and viewing of art from American artist Chris Jordan. Chris’
artwork drew gasps from the audience and Mr Fergusson who were all amazed at the waste his digital images
portrayed. Well done to the grade 9 council for helping run the day, Reece high school were well
represented.
