PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
SATURDAY 8TH NOVEMBER: SCHOOL SOCIAL NIGHT
Don't forget... Early next term the school social event of the year is on in the school hall !! This year's
theme is "Countdown" and the night will be full of dancing, prizes and pop rock! So get your tables of 12
together - tickets will be limited and go on sale this week.
MCMILLAN RD PARKING
McMillan Rd is a no parking drop-off and pick-up zone in the mornings before school and for pick-up in
the afternoon.
The road rule is:
You must not stop for more than two minutes in a No Parking area. You must remain in or within three
metres of the vehicle. Hours of operations may apply to some signs. This means restrictions apply for
those times only. Mobility Parking Permit holders are allowed to park for up to five minutes
http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/safety-rules/road-rules/parking.html
The fine is $173 and 2 demerit points
L Green
Principal
The Guitar Group had a great time at The Concourse Concert. We will be giving
another concert near end of term. There are currently a few spots available for
guitar tuition at the school. Please contact Ged Corben for more info on 0429 429
946, or by email [email protected]
New footpath
You may have noticed that Willoughby City Council very generously repaired and widened the
footpath on Abbott Road at the front of the school and laid new turf. The new drain will stop
puddles forming and the new pavement will reduce dust where the grass won’t grow.
Please walk on the paths not the new turf, gardens or mulch.
What a wonderful improvement to our school environment!
Thank you Willoughby Council.
Gardening Committee

PS Please ask students to KEEP TO THE PATH and not walk on new turf,
gardens or mulch.

patties and placed in a wrap along with some hummus and
tabouli.
