Dear Parents

School production

This year’s production, entitled “Follow that Rabbit” will be on stage on the evenings of June 29 and July 1. Entry is by door sales and prices are $7 per adult and $2 per child. This is a fun show, lasting approximately 90 minutes. It has been decided to run a matinee on Friday morning next week. This will run from 9:30 to 11am. This performance is provided so that many of the younger students have a chance to see the show. The cost will be $2 per student. There will be supervised classes for those students who do not wish to attend.

Safe Bus Behaviour

A reminder that the signed Safe Bus agreement is to be returned to school by 2nd July 2010.

The Calf Club committee is to run a raffle starting next week. The prize is to be a calf cover and a bag of milk powder. Tickets are available at the office for $2 each.

Could all Group Day trophies please be returned to school by August 24. They need to be collected for taking to the next venue.

Reports and Interviews

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have decided to postpone the parent interviews until week 3 of next term, rather than conduct them in week 2. By doing this we are hoping to be able to provide a better service to our parent community.

The new date is now August 5, starting at 3:30pm. The process of setting the interview schedule will begin in week 1 next term. It is still intended to post the reports on Monday July 26.

Canteen Weekly Special

The special for the week Monday 28 June to Thursday 1 July is Roasted Vegetable Quiche, limited stock for this week cost $3.00

Calf Club - 16th October 2010

This year’s Calf Club we are already underway gathering extra children’s participation rewards, we would like to make this year’s Calf Club an extra special event for those children that go to all the effort out in the winter months rearing and attending Calf Club day. Also we believe this will make it a little more encouraging for more children to participate in rearing their own animal. So in order to get an approximation on just how many ‘Special Extras’ we may require we need your help to complete below. And parents we have Spot Prizes for you too!
