Please return any borrowed books as soon as possible to the Library. Notices will go home next week for any out-standing books. BUS STOP SUPERVISION/BEHAVIOUR The bus company have reported to us today of an inci-dent that happened at a bus stop that could have been very serious. Instead of waiting 3m back from the bus until it is fully stopped, two boys were jostling for posi-tion and one nearly ended up under the front wheels. Parents are responsible for their children at the bus stops and need to be there supervising your children. JUNIOR SCHOOL COUNCIL FUNDRAISER $153 was raised for the RSPCA. Every student that gave a gold coin donation received a raffle ticket and Charlie Houston was the lucky winner. Well done Charlie and thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser.

2015 SCHOOL CONTRIBUTION We have posted out to all our families who have chil-dren attending Bass Valley next year, information regarding school fees. Please take the time to read this information and please ask at the school office if you require further information. As there will be no E.M.A. next year it is important that families know what fees will be payable and when they need to be paid by so that they can start making preparations for this. Payments are due by Friday 27th February 2015. The swimming levy will be $85 as it was this year and will need to be paid by 27th February for students to continue in the swimming program in March. HATS—COMPULSORY!! Hats are compulsory for outside play during 4th Term. If students do not have a hat they will have to stay in the shaded areas. We do not lend out hats so make sure you have your own hat at school. You can purchase school hats from the office for $12 each.
