number of students enrolled at the school at the of the second week of the following school year.
It is extremely important that if you are aware that your children will not be attending Kuluin during 2014 you need to
advise your child’s classroom teacher or our Office staff to assist us with our planning for next year. If you have a Prep
student who will be attending Kuluin in 2014 please ensure that you have completed the enrolment forms and returned
them to the school office. The Prep Open Night will be occurring this Wednesday evening at 6:00pm.

Library Borrowing
Library borrowing will cease in Week 8. All Library books are due back to the Resource Centre No Later than Friday 29 November. This is necessary so as to give the Resource Centre staff 2 weeks to process all resources which have been borrowed from students, parents and staff, to print reports for the Best Borrower Awards and to have resources ready for borrowing for 2014. Could we please ask for your assistance in helping your child/ren to locate and return their Library books. We have an extremely large number of overdue books and our budget cannot cover the replacement of these books. If your child’s library book isn’t returned you will receive a letter requesting payment for their books. If you could please look in your child’s room and on your bookshelves and return any books which display a Kuluin barcode and spine label. We really do appreciate your assistance in this matter.
