19 March 2018
Dear Parents, Term 1 is quickly coming to an end. It has been a very successful term for eve-
ryone involved. Our new Foundation grade children have settled into the routines of school
beautifully, as have other new children who have started here. We are very fortunate that
we have a great environment in our school where children quickly take on the positive work
and play habits that exist. Just a reminder that school finishes at 2.30, next THURSDAY March
29. School resumes on Monday April 16.
Change of Playgroup day. Thursday is now our day for Playgroup. Parents and young chil-
dren who don’t attend Kindergarten or school are welcome to attend. We run Playgroup in
the Kindergarten from 9.00 – 11.00.
Change of days for Breakfast Club. Tuesday and Wednesday are now the days that we run
our Breakfast Club. Children can come along to the staff room, where we will provide
breakfast of Uncle Toby’s Cheerios, Vita Brits, muesli, baked beans, fruit salad or toast. Chil-
dren are welcome to come to the staff room between 8.15 and 9.00. There is no cost for this.
Children will be supervised eating breakfast and will be able to go out to play or go straight to
their classes after they have eaten (and helped clean up.)

Important notes:
Arriving on time. Could parents please ensure children are at school before 9.00 as it is important that every child is here
ready for the day by the scheduled start. It gets them into good habits and they don’t miss out on important learning time.
School hat. Please note that during Terms 1 and 4 all children should be wearing a school hat whenever they go outside
while at school. This is part of our School Sun Smart program, that helps children learn about positive life habits. Hats are avail-
able to be purchased from the office. In Term 2 and 3 children will not be required to wear their hats outside, although we still
recommend that they do so on sunny days.
School Assembly: We return to having our School Assembly at the normal Friday time for this week (March 23) but because
of the Thursday finish next week we will have our final assembly on Thursday (March 29) All parents, families and friends are
welcome to attend, starting at 9.10.
