PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Dear Parents,
Eight very excited students headed off to Somers Camp
on Tuesday. I’m sure they will have a fantastic experience.
I still have very vivid memories from my childhood of
attending the camp.
CAR PARK
Works in the car park have slowed down. The next stage
is the asphalting of the area which I believe will be done in
a couple of weeks.
that students will dress up as character or something
related to their favourite book. This day will be held in
Week 6 on Monday 18th August. Start discussing ideas
with your child or children!
Mrs Serra has organised the purchase of the “Short listed
Picture story books.
There will be on display in the Central Learning space
LUNCH ORDERS
Despite a couple of minor problems things have been
going quite smoothly. If your child is missing something in
their order please remind them to let a teacher know.
PARENTS & FRIENDS MEETING
The next meeting will be Tuesday 4th August at 7.30pm.
Have an enjoyable weekend.
Regards Heather
PARENT OPINION SURVEYS
Last week these surveys were sent home with the
newsletter. Each year schools across the State survey 15
per cent of the school community.
Parents are randomly selected to participate and we use
the information to support future school planning and
improvement.
The survey is designed to take no more than 20 minutes
to complete and your feedback and opinions play an
important role in making our school the best it can possibly
be. Thank you to those families who have already returned
theirs.
P & F REMINDERS
This term Parents and Friends are organising the raffle for
the school concert and also the Father’s Day Stall. These
events are only a week apart so we are looking for
donations for both. Ideas for Father’s Day Stall: small
tools, gardening items, socks, chocolates, toiletry items,
handmade items etc.
Ideas for Raffle: food items, gardening items, wine,
pamper items, toys, books, DVDs, kitchen products etc.
We thank you so much for your support...many hands
make light work!
Next meeting: Tues 5th August @ 7:30pm...everyone
