BOT Parent
Survey
Our
deadline for the Parent Survey is tomorrow as well, so if you haven’t already
filled out the survey, please do so and bring it back to school when you come
for the Swim Carnival. What we really want to know is – What do we do well? And
what could we do better? The set of wicker drawers at the front door is still
there for parents to drop their completed surveys into. There are extra copies
on top of the wicker drawers if parents want to fill out a survey on Thursday.
Easter Basket Raffle
All
money and extra tickets should have been returned to school by now. The draw
will take place after the school swim carnival, so please make sure all tickets
are included in the draw.

Charity Horse Trek
As you are all aware, the weather was too wet
for the horse trek which has now been postponed until Saturday 2nd

to keep our expenses down. If you are able to bake a cake or biscuits or have
fresh fruit available, please send any to school on Friday 1st
April.

11-12 year olds wanting to play soccer during Terms 2 & 3 on

A huge thank you to Countdown

$1,500!!!
Thank you to the
Academy Sponsors who supply our school with homework books for each child in
our school.
…and to the families
who have sent fruit to school over the past few weeks…. The Bristow family for
the grapes and the Cocker family for the apples.
120 year Anniversary
If any of you have
come up with a fantastic idea to celebrate our 120 year anniversary please let
us know. So far suggestions have included a dance, a sports day or open day at
school. It would be great to have a team to begin to plan ahead for the 125th Jubilee,
including looking at ways to fund-raise to repair, paint and up-grade the
Gumtown Room.
Head lice and Impetigo
We have another
outbreak of head lice in the school. Please make sure to check your child/rens
heads. Some children may have impetigo. This needs to be treated and covered
with an antibiotic cream.
Lost Property
Tomorrow will be a
good opportunity to check and collect any lost property. We will have all
clothing out, so please don’t forget to check it out.
PINNACLES ADVENTURE
Jenny is keen to
hear feed-back regarding the trip from parents and to gauge interest for a
further challenge later in the year.
There
will be NO newsletter next week due
to the short school week.
