Welcome to All

Dear Parents/Guardians P&C EASTER RAFFLE Thank you to the parents and carers who kindly donated to this year’s P&C Easter Raffle. Well done to the raffle winners. I hope everyone enjoys a good break over the coming two weeks.

TERM 2 A reminder that students commence classes on Wednesday 26th April.

ANZAC SERVICE Our school ANZAC Service will be held on 7 April at 10.00am beside the school flagpoles. Parents and carers are most welcome to attend.

SCHOOL NEWSLETTERS The school newsletter commonly known as Scoop will sent home every Wednesday fortnight. This will allow merit certificate details to be published in a timely manner.

YEAR 6 MAINSTREAM CAMP The Year 6 camp for rooms 6 & 8 will be held at Woodman Point Recreation Centre from Wednesday 30 August – Friday 1 September. A camp information letter has been sent home this week to all students in Year 6. Payments for camp can be made in $50 instalments or alternatively the amount can be paid in full. The first payment is due on 4 May. Payment envelopes with students name printed on them have been provided to all families.

FOOD ALLERGIES A number of our students have allergies to foods such as peanuts and tree nuts. We would respectively ask that parents and carers for this reason DO NOT send nuts or nut products to school in lunch boxes. For this reason we also ask that food is NOT shared amongst other students. Please reinforce this message at home. Thank you Kind Regards

Lee Woodcock,

Principal

The front office does not keep change. Please enclose the correct money in the payment envelope supplied when making payments to the school for excursions, incursions etc. We do try to keep parent traffic to a minimum in the front office in the mornings and afternoons so just a reminder that all payments and forms for the front office need to be placed into the post box outside the office door. Anything for the P&C goes into the white box in the office. We have been very pleased to see many students wearing the school uniform. As Autumn is upon us, it is a good opportunity to remind you to check that student names are clearly visible on all uniform pieces.
