Congratulations !
*The Senior and Junior Girls Dance Groups were successful in their selections for the Sutherland Shire Music Festival.
Parents and family members are encouraged to buy their tickets now !
*I would like to congratulate and thank ALL the boys for their
“Giving it a Go” attitude. Let‟s try again in 2013.
Food safety and Hygiene Tips for Packed Lunches (NSW Department of Health) * Use an insulated lunch box or carry-bag. * Use a frozen ice-brick or frozen drink bottle in the lunchbox. * Freeze sandwiches the night before, as both a time-saver and to keep foods cool. * Chill cooked foods (like boiled eggs)before packing the lunch. *Store lunch boxes in a cool spot (in the fridge if possible) * Ensure children wash hands thoroughly before mealtimes and after going to the toilet or handling pets.
Canteen News
I hope everyone is enjoying the new menu, the new items seem to be popular with the children which is great to see. The healthy eating rewards program is underway with a few children already halfway towards their 10 stamps on their certificates- great work and keep up the healthy eating it is fantastic to see! Walk to school day is this Friday 18th May and orders for the Breakfast close on Thursday so please ensure your orders are in so you don't miss out on pancakes on the BBQ, a drink and a piece fruit. Thank you to the volunteers so far for Friday morning if anyone else is available from 8-30am till 9-30am please contact me. We currently have a shortage of volunteers on Fridays. In term 2 and term 3 the PSSA lunch orders are made for recess time so the children can eat them prior to leaving for sport which means that Friday mornings in the canteen are especially busy. If anyone can spare a couple of hours once a month on a Friday it would be greatly appreciated.

Volunteers for School Canteen Canteen Days for 2012 are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
As you are aware, last year we took part in the „Sports for Schools‟ Coles program. We had a fantastic collection with seventy two thousand one hundred and sixty nine (72 169) vouchers collected. This was a terrific effort and I would like to extend my appreciation to everyone who became involved in the program. With this number in hand we went online and purchased a variety of equipment for all the children at Kirrawee Public School to use.
The equipment has now arrived and we would like you to see what we have purchased. A variety of different balls (which we badly needed) to a mini-trampoline, rebounding soccer nets, tennis and table-tennis equipment, volleyballs and nets, a range of tabloid equipment and much more.
The photo shows the equipment we received.
WOW !
