there is some information later

later in this newsletter that ex-

plains how to express your inter-

est.

Reports and Parent/Teacher

Interviews

Student half yearly reports will be

sent home on Thurs 5 July. This

will be followed by parent/teacher

interviews that will be conducted

in week 2 of term 3. This year

we will be moving to an online

booking system for interviews.

We will be providing parents with

details of

how to

book

teacher

interviews

shortly.

Space Camp Raffle

As you would be aware, 10

students from Richmond North

will be travelling to Space Camp

in the USA in October this year.

These students are currently

conducting a raffle to raise funds

for this trip. The raffle prize is a

family holiday to Fiji valued at

$4760. If you would like to help

us by selling a book of tickets

(20 tickets @ $3 ea) then please

contact the school office and we

can arrange to send a book of

tickets home. Individual raffle

tickets will also be available for

purchase at the school office if

you wish

to support

our Space

Camp

group. We

would

certainly appreciate any support

that may be offered.

New newsletter format—

Tm 2

In term 2, our school will be

launching a new format newslet-

ter which will be produced by

Schoolzine. This new newslet-

ter will be truly interactive and

will be delivered via a new app

called Szapp. Our new newslet-

ter will incorporate online fea-

tures including photo galleries,

live links, dynamic calendar of

events, online surveys and the

ability to respond electronically,

I think parents will find this new

format more engaging and will

better communicate events at

school. If you know of someone

who may be interested in adver-

tising in our new newsletter,

Hi Everyone,

My name is Ivy Racker and I am wanting to donate to the homeless people because its

nice for them so they can keep warm this winter. I would appreciate if anyone could

help me by donating new scarves, new gloves, new socks, new beanies or small torches

with batteries. I will be giving these to Hawkesbury Helping Hands to give to the

homeless people. Any donation no matter how small can be left at the school office

for me to pick up.

If you could help that would be so great,

Thank you,

Ivy Racker 1/2M

A FEW NOTES FROM THE LOLLIPOP MAN

Firstly, I am here to ensure the safety of everyone - children, parents, grand-parents, guardians, teachers.

Now, for a few simple rules. If these are followed, all of us will go home to our love ones everyday.

1. If I ask you to wait on the far side of the road, please be patient as there may be more pupils/

parents about to arrive or there is heavy traffic.

2. Please wait until I place the Stop Bat on the ground and I motion for you to cross the road.

3. During inclement weather, I will endeavour to get you across as soon as possible keeping in mind

the traffic.

4. Please refrain from using your mobile/head phones whilst crossing. For 10 seconds of your atten-

tion, this would erase the possibility of a person being injured, I have lost too many good people on

my watch during 35 years in the military, Could not bear that again.

As I do not bite and I don’t think I’m an ogre you may introduce yourself and your child/children.

Thankyou for your time and respect.

Your friendly lollipop man.
