THURSDAY March 3

SCHOOL COMMENCES AT 2:30pm

(no bus)

Sports conclude at 7:30pm

The school sports are just a week away. Last year we re-introduced the twilight carnival

and it was very warmly received. By commencing school at 2.30 we enjoy the cooler

part of the day and saw many parents come along later in the evening. The carnival

finishes at 7.30 with our presentation of the cup. We are hoping that there will be

some willing helpers come along at 2.00 to assist in putting up the shade ports. The

packing up will commence at 7.15 p.m. while score etc. are tallied. The format for the

day has been sent home and is also available at the office if needed.

A big thankyou to all those families who have registered for the Mc Cains fundraiser,

we have nearly filled every spot more information regarding time slots are in the news-

letters. I need to thank the organisers who have chased around to fill in the names, We

are aware of the time commitment and all funds we raise throughout the year will go

directly to play area development for the students. We are still chasing donations of

Easter Eggs for the raffle ,which will be drawn on the last day of the term.

On Monday we are all wearing red as part of raising awareness and money for heart

research. Our Junior School Council is hosting the event and we hope children wearing

red will bring along a gold coin donation that we will send to the Cancer Research

Foundation. Any red T-shirt or garment will do! Our junior school council have lots of

events planned throughout the year and

their commitment to social service is

commendable.

If at any times you have difficulty loading

Tiqbiz, our school App, please come to the

office for assistance, Lisa can walk you

through the upload. We have many fami-

lies who are using the Absence feature of

the App to send us a student absence. This

is extremely efficient as it does free up the

morning phone calls.
