Gifts galore and the Mother’s Day Stall!M u m s , G r a n d m o t h e r s and carers would have enjoyed the special gifts selected by the students at the P and C Mother’s
day stall. Our P and C did a magnificent job in selecting and wrapping hundreds of gifts for the students to choose. We hope everyone enjoyed some special family time on Mother’s day.
WE’RE TAKING IT IN OUR STRIDE ON FRIDAY 20 MAY 2016Well it’s that time of year again when our school seriously starts talking about walking!Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try
to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around. And although walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for many of us, we can incorporate a walk in to your morning routine by:* walking with them the whole way to school* walking past your usual bus/train stop and get on at the next stop* parking the car a few blocks away from school and walking the rest of the wayRemember, Active Kids are Smarter Kids so get planning your own Walk Safely to School Day journey for Friday 20 May 2016!For more information, visit www.walk.com.au
