Week 6

It was great to see so many Grandparents and Parents at school on Friday.  We are very lucky to have such supportive people in our community. 

A big thank you to all those who contributed to our shared lunch on Friday.  We had a lovely farewell for Sam from Room14 and Cody from Room 15.  We wish you boys all the best.

Just a reminder that hats need to be worn at playtime and lunchtime everyday.  We all need to be Sun Smart and protect ourselves from the sun's harmful rays.

There is a range of times, anyone is welcome to attend any meeting time slot that suits.  It would be good if everyone could try to come to a meeting particularly parents of children who are currently in Year 2 or 3.  This is because the school is planning to allow students in Year 3/4 in 2014 to bring a Chromebook to school if they wish (probably from start of Term 2).

Students are invited to bring a piece of fruit or raw vegetable to the collection box (outside the hall by the Junior Playground) before school on Friday. Some of the parents on the Health Promoting Schools team will then prepare the fruit and veges for shared platters which will be available outside the hall at morning tea time. Please send a piece of fruit or a vegetable that can be eaten raw (e.g. carrot/ celery/tomato/broccoli/ cauliflower) to school on Friday if you are able to. Thank you.
