Dear Parents,

As we are posting articles on our Facebook page I will not repeat them in the newsletter. Recent posts on the Facebook page cover the discos from last Friday, the Wine and Cheese Night and the AFL carnival.

I would however like to thank all involved in the school’s Ash Wednesday celebration this week.

Maths Problem

Congratulations to Jade Vijay who was last week’s winner. A reminder that entries can be emailed to the front office or sent down in the class note bag. Please put your name on your answer.

This week's challenge is below.

Everyone loves a new hat. Milo, Austin, and Nora bought new hats. They each chose a different type. Austin never buys a knitted hat. Milo does not enjoy wearing baseball caps. Nora only wears straw hats. What type of hat did each friend buy? Use the table to illustrate your solution.

God Bless

  • Late to school procedure:-
  • If you are dropping off your child to school late please remember to sign in at the front office (any time after 9:15am).  Every student needs to have their late slip with them to hand on to their class teacher upon arrival at their classroom.
    
    
  • Early Pickup procedure:-
  • If you are planning to collect your child early please try to let the class teacher know beforehand so that your child/children are at the front office waiting for you.
  • If you have an unplanned early pickup please contact the front office and let us know what time you will be arriving so that we can have your child/children ready.
  • Please remember if this is happens, we will do our best to locate your child but this is not always possible especially if they are out of class or on lunch or recess break.
  • In addition, if you are collecting your child early and you have requested they arrive at the office at a specific time, please ensure that you arrive at that time to collect them.  It is not appropriate that children be removed from class to be collected and then sit at the office and wait for extended periods of time for you to arrive.
