HATS All students need to have a wide brimmed hat for out-side times. Hats are available for purchase form the school office for $12. We will even name them for you! Please ensure your child has a hat at school each day – a reminder that peaked caps are not acceptable sun smart hats. PLEASE KEEP AT HOME Lollies, chocolates and chewing gum should not be brought to school. We cannot be responsible for expensive or special toys and encourage parents to keep all these items for after school. CAN YOU HELP??
We are sending home a ‘Can You Help’ list with this newsletter, listing all the areas that we need help with at various times throughout the year. We would real-ly appreciate it if you can look through the list and tick any areas that you may be able to assist us with. Please return the form to school as soon as possible.

BUS RUNS We have made a few changes to a couple of our bus runs which will commence on Monday 2nd March. The Corinella bus is not affected. The Grantville Gurdies bus will now pick up the Stanley Road passengers. The Woolamai and Coronet Bay bus have been combined as one run.
