Thursday 14th March 2019 – Issue 4

EASTER RAFFLE Please return all tickets sold or unsold to school by Friday 15th March (tomorrow) as we need to account for every ticket. We encourage parents to support this fundraiser as all money raised will go towards the oval upgrade. We are still accepting donations of Easter goodies from Rollins families. Thanks to all parents for their support.

FAMILY NIGHT We look forward to seeing as many people as possible attend our Family Night this Wednesday 20th March from 5.00-7.00pm. There will be numerous stalls and activities to keep you entertained. A sausage sizzle and soft drinks will be available on the night, families are welcome to bring a picnic dinner. Our Easter raffle will be drawn on this night. In all, it should be a great opportunity for families to come together and enjoy time as part of the Rollins community.

OVAL At this stage we have closed the oval to all students as we plan ahead for our upgrade. We ask that no student or parent uses this as a walkway to the gates at the end of the oval. Please use the gates at the back of the STEM room near the veggie enclosure. During the period the oval is closed the 2 gates at the end of the oval will remain locked. Thanks everyone for your support in this matter. Hopefully we won’t be inconvenienced for too long. FAMILY PICNIC LUNCH On Friday 26th April (Term 2) we will hold a Family Picnic Day. Families are invited to bring their lunch and join their child/Children in the yard at lunchtime. Family picnic time is 1.30-2.30. Please pop it in your diary so you keep this date free.

GaGa PIT Last year when our grade 5/6 students attended camp they were totally taken by the Gaga Pit- I must admit I had no idea what they were talking about! It is a game similar to Downball – and highly popular. At present we are in the process of constructing a Gaga pit to ensure our students have plenty of activities while our oval is closed.

SCHOOL UNIFORM Reminder to parents that broad brimmed hats are compulsory in Terms 1 and 4. Students may wear plain navy beanies to keep their heads warm in Terms 2 and 3.

As the colder weather is approaching parents may be purchasing new uniforms. Please note that leggings on their own are not part of our school uniform. Navy tracksuit pants are more suitable and are warmer for the children. VISITING CLASSROOMS Reminder that parents or visitors must come via the school office before going to classrooms. This is a requirement to ensure we are fully aware of who is in the school at all times in case of an emergency evacuation. It also allows the teacher to concentrate on their teaching duties. If you need to see the teacher please call the office and make an appointment or put a note in your child’s diary. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
