Debate Team
The debating team had their first debate on Wednesday 4th May. The topic was That all schools should be BYOD. We were the negative team which meant that we had to argue that schools should not be BYOD. Even though our team loves technology, we had to think of the topic from both sides and come up with a convincing argument. Both teams debated very well but Fairfield won! It was a close match- the team won by one point! Congratulations to the whole team.

Excursion Update
The school subsidises most excursions to keep the cost as low as possible.
iBooks
We are working on our number book next. Keep an eye out for out soon.
Mothers Day Stall
Parents PBL Survey continues.
Playground Upgrade
We remind everyone that chewing gum is not permitted at school. During the holidays we paid over $3000 to get rid of the gum and to clean the cement so the games could be laid near the canteen.
Help keep our playground clean and talk to your children about their responsibility of putting rubbish in the bins provided.
Students will be taught how to use the games during the coming weeks.

School Song
Lift up your voice to sing with pride
Children of many lands abide
Learning together day by day
Strive to excel in every way.
Come Fairfield friends and share with us
In school we learn, we care, we trust.
Building a land in harmony
To visions of a land in peace.
School Pledge
SCHOOL PLEDGE
The school pledge is said as a way of reminding ourselves that we have one life to live and we want our lives to positive in every way both for ourselves and those around us.
I shall pass through this world but once,
Therefore, any good thing that I can do,
Or kindness I can show,
Let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it,
For I shall not pass this way again.
