All Students in Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 are asked to come dressed as a character from their favourite book. After the character parade it is required for all students to change out of the costume and into the formal school uniform. This parade will replace the afternoon parade this week. Parents and Guardians are welcomed to attend the parade.
Congratulation to Jamila 6M for winning the Book Week mural competition. She is busy working on her piece of artwork and it will be displayed in the library once it is completed. Well done to all those who entered the competition.

Cyber Safety
The Department of Education's Cybersafety and Reputation Management team (CSRM) advises, investigates and supports schools to manage online behaviours and digital reputation issues. Within this scope, the team draws on their diverse experience, including police investigation, policy, social media marketing, and recruitment, to deliver up-to-date informative sessions about positive social media use.
The CSRM team will be visiting Yeronga State School on Tuesday 3 September. They will be conducting sessions with students in Years 4, 5 and 6, and are also offering a parent and caregiver information session on the same day at 6:30 in the Hall. The parent session is an overview of cybersafety, trending platforms, online dos and don’ts, and useful settings to be aware of. This session goes for about 45 minutes, and will allow parents to ask questions throughout. Please pre-register your intention to attend here: http://ems.gs/3wfq0kccrZg. This session is open to all parents from our community and neighbouring communities, not just the year four to six parents.
