2016 PLANNING
Our planning for next year continues to unfold as our teachers collaborate on the grade structure that
will work best for our students in 2016. At this stage, we know we are looking at an overall enrolment
increase of approximately 10 students. To further support our planning processes, we are now eager
to know of any students/families that will be leaving us at the end of the year and moving to new
schools. We appreciate that sometimes parents might not be able to confirm this until later in the year;
however we seek your support by contacting the school ASAP if you are intending to leave
Tootgarook PS.
Compulsory Hats
From the start of next term we will return to the wearing of a school approved hat. Our hat
is
green in colour and is designed to promote the protection of the neck and
ears as well as the face. Compulsory hats are a School Council Policy, which
will be strictly enforced.
Children who dont wear an approved hat will be required to stay in a
sheltered area during school recess times. NO BASEBALL HAT IS OR WILL BE
APPROVED. School hats with our school logo can be purchased from Beleza Uniform Shop
in Rosebud.

Last Wednesday the Grade 4s had a special incursion from Simon who is the CEO and
Founder of Save the Bees Australia and our local Bee
expert. Here is what
Niall Harbour and
Scott Wilson had to
say about the visit.
Simon came in as a
surprise to the Grade
4s, to teach us how
important bees are to
us, how they help us
survive and that there
are three different
types of Bees. There are the Drone Bees, Worker
Bees and the Queen Bees. We learnt about what
Bees do and how they do it. The part of the
incursion we loved the most was when we got to
see all of the different equipment that is used by
Bee Keepers. We also watched Simon light the
smoker with lavender outside and he showed us
how the honey extractor works.
If you have a Bee hive or swarm that needs to be removed
safely (not exterminated), contact Simon Mulvany on
0400882146 or visit http://www.beethecure.com.au or
https://www.facebook.com/SavetheBeesAustralia for more
information about Bees, what to do and how you can help.
If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would
have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination,
no more plants, no more animals, no more man. Albert Einstein
