Library

Last week there were a number of students who were without their library bags. This is despite there being a reminder in the school newsletter, reminders in class and email’s being sent home. We would really appreciate you checking the day for your child’s library access. Unfortunately due to Mr Lavitt taking library a single day cannot be guaranteed. The dates will now be put in the school calendar which is most easily accessed via the school app. Additionally, we will continue to send out email reminders.

Kindy Enrolments for 2018 We have now started our drive for Kindy enrolments for 2018 and are accepting enrolment forms. We will be holding a parent information session for 2018 on Tuesday 30 May at 7pm in the school library. Please advise anyone that you know who has a child they wish to start school next year that this session will be on. We will also be advising Pre Schools in the area of this. Some fliers will be available from the school office from Tuesday if you would like to give them to families you know who have children ready to go to school next year, we would be happy for your to pass them on.

Staff News Next term from July 18 until August 25 - 6 weeks, Mr Lavitt will be taking some long service leave. During this time he will be travelling with his family to South Korea, United Kingdom and France. Last term the Department of Education held an Expression of Interest for the relieving position of teaching principal and Ms Nicole Mayhew has been successful. She is currently an Assistant Principal and Librarian at Rainbow Street Public School. She will join us for the final Assembly of this term and Parent Information Night on 30 March.
