Notice from the Traffic Warden
Please be reminded that children with bikes must
wait for the signal to cross at the school crossing

health and safety requirement,
dogs are NOT PERMITTED on
school grounds.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Thank you
Scholastic Book Fair
Thank you to all the wonderful families that supported our Kingdom of Books Book Fair. It was a
huge success with the children getting excited about reading all the fabulous books we had on offer.
With your support, we raised $897.00 in Scholastic rewards to enhance our library resources.
Giving the children access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books motivates
them to read more, and like most acquired skills, the more children practice reading, the better they
will achieve. Reading is vital to
every child’s success, and raising
children as readers opens them
up to a world of opportunity and
imagination.

Jodie
I would like to send sincere thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers who
give up their time to spend a day helping out in the Canteen. Your help is
very much appreciated and helps us to provide a great variety of meals to
the children.
If any other parents/carers/grandparents could spare some time to come
and be involved it would be fabulous. I am currently doing up the roster for
next term with lots of spaces to fill.
