2015 CLASS PLACEMENTS Staff will be organising class placements for 2015 very soon. A form is attached to this bulletin which will give you the opportunity to inform staff of issues that might affect your child’s placement. Please complete and return to school by Wednesday 26 November if you have any issues that you would like to make staff aware of.

KINDERGARTEN 2015 We have now completed our Kindergarten Orientation Program. At the moment we have two kindy classes for 2015. If you know of anyone, neighbours or relatives, who have not advised the school of enrolling their child would you please make them aware of the need to do so as soon as possible.

MINI-MARKET DAY Parents should be very proud of their children in the way in which they organised and operated the Student Representative Council’s Mini-Market Day. The students raised $2900. The SRC has now made recommendations of how the funds can be used to improve the school.

SCHOOL SPECTACULAR CHOIR Our choir will be heading off to perform in the Entertainment Centre next week. We wish them all the best. I thank the P&C for their donation to support the choir as well as Mrs Dawes and Mrs Armour for coordinating our involvement. Ray Claydon Principal LIFE EDUCATION Healthy Harold will be visiting our school from 24 November until 27 November. Please return the notes and payment as soon as possible.

3/4O Remembrance Day Poem They live in their trench all lonely and sad Bleeding from wounds and missing mums and dads Some are lucky to still have a life Some shot dead never to see their husband or wife So don’t think war is rad Think it is very, very bad by Braith
