Kinder News… Welcome to all our new Kindergarten students. We have had an exciting start to our year with our Fun Water Day yesterday. Today a note is being sent home about a bus excursion on Thursday. Please check your child’s bag as the note needs to be returned tomorrow (Wednesday) so that your child can participate. There is no cost for this excursion.

Mrs Jarvis Mrs La Coste

5/6 News... This term both 5/6 classes will be learning how to French Knit. Could all students bring in a ball of wool this week please. Thanks

Mrs Bartlett Mrs Timmins

1/2 B News... Due to water damage to our room over the weekend and Year 2 attending the swimming carnival we will now start our spelling homework next week. This week we will be learning about nouns in grammar. Our maths will focus on 2D shapes and the addition of whole numbers. Homereading books were given out last week. Books may be changed in the morning if needed with yellow book returned to me on Friday for checking and rewards. Last week a parent information sheet was handed out. If you did not receive one please contact the school.

Mr Taylor

Office News... Just a reminder of some of our organisation:- When notes are sent home for excursions or visiting performances, students must bring in an envelope each, please do not put multiple children on one envelope. The actual amount enclosed needs to be written on the front, if change is required it will be distributed after the event as we are unable to keep change. The student’s class should be written in the space provided. Classes are as follows: K Koala (KK) – Mrs LaCoste K Possum (KP) – Mrs Jarvis 1/2 Echidna (1/2E) – Mss Johnson 1/2 Bilby (1/2B) – Mr Taylor 3/4 Platypus (3/4P) – Miss Connie 3/4 Quokka (3/4Q) – Mr Marzinotto 5/6 Dingo (5/6D) – Mrs Bartlett 5/6 Emu (5/6E) – Mrs Timmins

Notes have a deadline date on them and this will be adhered to. The deadline is in place to enable staff to make bus bookings and internal arrangements – due to our office change over to the Department run SAP & SALM System payments on the day of an event make this impossible to handle. If you want your child to attend but payment is a concern, please contact the office so that arrangements can be made as we do not want your child to miss out.

Payments for school things can be paid for using your credit card using the Make a Payment button on the school website, there is a space to tick on our payment envelopes if you choose to pay this way. Please do not pay for canteen or uniform this way as they are P&C run and they have their own separate bank account. Payment/permission envelopes are posted into the slot in the wall outside the office. All school payments can be deposited here. If you change your child’s pick up arrangements please ring the school by 2.15pm so the note can be taken to the classroom. We cannot guarantee message delivery for messages received after this time.

Absence notes go to the class teacher, if you use email or the Skoolbag app to explain absences we deal with

those and the teacher is advised. Later this term we will be using a text message system, there will be

notification in the newsletter when this happens.

P & C News… Our P&C AGM will be held next Monday February 17 at 3pm in the staffroom. Free child minding will be available in the library. Everyone is welcome and we would love to see some new faces. Kerrie
