We are looking for 2 volunteers for each class to join us on an excursion to 
SA Museum and St. Peter's Cathedral on Monday November 11 8-3.25 pm.

Exciting times this week as the Exhibition Marquee arrives.  Four groups have been assigned space within the marquee and seven will be in the Senior Unit.

Breaking News!!   Bus run for Immanuel
  • Over the last weeks and months we’ve been investigating the feasibility of running a bus service in our local area before and after school.
  • The great news is that this is indeed viable and will commence at the start of 2020. As much as possible it will be a ‘door to door’ service and the route will be from Immanuel through Willaston, Hewett, Hillier, Evanston Gardens, Evanston and back to Immanuel via Gawler East.
  • In the coming period we will refine a timetable and share it with families who have indicated a desire to utilise this service. On our website you’ll see a tab entitled ‘Bus Service’ and that’s where we will be updating information as we have it.

2020 CLASS PLACEMENTS
  • You will have seen the section in the newsletter last Friday inviting input from families around class placement for 2020.
  • It is important to note that these are not ‘teacher requests’, rather information around learning needs that will help us place students for maximum success. We will have a large number of staff changes at the end of this year for a variety of reasons and we won’t know our staffing/class and grade teachers until quite late in the term.   
  • We ask that any information is passed on by email to darylt@ilsg.sa.edu.au by Friday 1 November (week 3) and that you understand that those emails will be shared with other staff.
  • If you are not returning to Immanuel in 2020 (other than moving into a secondary school) please be reminded that a terms notice is required. 
2020 MUSIC TUITION
  • We have several music tutors who come to Immanuel each week and take students for one on one lessons (eg singing drums, guitar, piano, flute, violin & saxophone
  • If you want to register your child’s interest for lessons in 2020, by complete a form and return it to the office or Mr Hueppauff (Music teacher)   
  • Click here for the form.  
SUMMER UNIFORM & HATS  are to be worn in Term 4. 
  • If your child is not wearing the correct/allocated school uniform for the day then we ask you to supply a note to the teacher
  • Students need to wear HATS when playing at recess & lunch, and during outside lesson time.
    NO HAT NO PLAY!  Please ensure HATS are clearly named.    If you need to purchase a new HAT please send $10 into the office with your child’s name.
  • Uniform Shop is open Mondays at 8.30-9.15am and Fridays 3-3.45pm or via an appt time through  the office
  • The Second Hand Uniform shop is open Wednesdays 3.15-3.45pm and Thursdays 8.45-9.15am  (note new days) and is run by a parent volunteer – thanks Beth.   If you have items you want to sell, they need to be in good, clean condition and labelled with the attached form.
