Term 2 Week 9 Tuesday 26 June 2018

From the Principal’s Desk

Ms Annie Munro

If you are picking up your children at the end of the school day - 3.05pm, please supervise them at all times. There have been a number of children (including toddlers) playing on the fixed equipment and running through the school without adults.

It was very exciting last week at the canteen when online ordering for one day went into the hundreds for the very first time. On Friday 101 online orders were received. Debbie, Danielle and their workers are finding this cashless system to be quick and efficient.

I look forward to seeing parents at the P&C meeting tonight in the staffroom at 6.00pm. This “extra” meeting is being held as next week there will be a special P&C presentation. All are invited.

Quote: “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” Helen Keller.
