During Week 8 students of Lake Illawarra South

Public School partook in fruit or veg dress up day. We

thank those who participated on the day. We also

appreciate the families that came and enjoyed a

waste free lunch. All of your donations are greatly

appreciated. In total we raised $161.15. These

donations will go towards the school garden which is

in need of some new tools and equipment.

We would also like to thank the students that attend

the garden club as they are always helping to make

our garden thrive. The SRC would also like to thank

Mrs Coy for her time and commitment while running

the garden club. The school is very grateful for the

help Bunnings has provided during Fruit and Veg

month initiatives as they have donated many useful

tools as needed. They also donated plants and trees

to grow during this week.

Fruit & Veg Month 2017 – Get Loud for Fruit and Veg!!

Thank you to all students and families who got involved in our Fruit & Vegetable month initiatives in Term 3. Out fruit and vegie dress up day raised much-needed funds for our school gardening program. It was exceptionally pleasing to see so many of our families partake in our first ‘nude food’ day. Thank you to all teachers and students who kept tallies of their crunch and sip and to the Fruit & Veg SRC committee who collected and prepared platters for the winning class. Thanks once again to ‘Mitchell’s Fruit’ at Warilla Grove that kindly donated the freshest selection of produce for our weekly winning crunch and sip class. Make sure you get down there today to but some quality goods.

Thanks Mrs Trotter

SPORT NEWS

REGIONAL ATHLETICS

Friday Week 7 saw six of our students (Matilda Best, Lily Carberry, Noah Carberry, Sunni Lord-Drougas, Teliah McElhone and Malokai Tomo) compete in the Regional Athletics Carnival in

Canberra. Although the morning started a little chilly the day proved an absolute ripper and our students did a phenomenal job giving their best.

Congratulations to Malokai Tomo who was successful in gaining selection to the State

Carnival, to be held later this term, in the 11yr 100m sprint.

Well done to all students who will represent our school at the regional carnival and best of luck to

Malokai.

New Drop Off Zone

The council has changed the car drop off zone

outside the school main entrance on Reddall Parade.

This zone used to be a drop off zone in the morning

afternoon. The council has now changed this and

parents cannot park there of an afternoon either.

Please be mindful of this change and read all the road

signs. If you park and leave your car there in the

afternoon, the rangers who regularly patrol the area

may book you.
