Thanks also to Mrs Brunswick and Mr Saddlier for

their organisation of the district sports that were

held yesterday. A big thank you to our parents who

also helped on the day. Congratulations to our

Epsom Variety Show

Tuesday , September 18th—

No tickets sold at the door…... The School Concert will take place next week

Tuesday, 18th September at the Connect Church

Hall in Solomon St, East Bendigo, off Murphy

Street. It will commence at 7:30pm sharp. All

current students at the school are in the concert,

therefore they do not have to pay.

Children need to be dropped at the Hall at

7.10pm.

If your child is unable to participate, please see his

or her teacher as soon as possible.

Please buy your tickets prior to the concert, as

there will be no tickets sold at the door on the

night. There is no reserved seating.

This will be the last order for tickets.

On Monday any remaining tickets will

be sold on a “first in, best dressed”

basis. CAST PARTY FRIDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER

It is our tradition to hold a Cast Party for the chil-

dren after our concert. The Cast Party will be at

recess Friday, 21st September.

We ask that children bring the following items for

sharing:

Grade 5/6 – 1 litre bottle of soft drink

Oldest in the family of all other grades – small

plate of savouries (such as vegetables and dips,

kabana, cheese, dry biscuits), fruit or sweets

(cakes, biscuits and slices).

PLEASE—NO NUTS Please don’t send anything that requires heating as

we don’t have the time or space to heat things

with ease. This party is for a playtime snack only,

so large quantities of food are not required.
