Walkathon...update... Monday 2 April

We have some great prizes for the students who raise the most money...

1st Prize - Apple iPad2nd Prize - iPod + Dock + $20 iTunes

Lots of ...Lucky dip draw prizes for all other students

who raise money.

P&C are cooking a BBQ for everyone and we have the coffee van coming... so all parents and grandparents are very welcome to come along and enjoy the afternoon and sausage sizzle with their children. We have a preorder form attached to this newsletter but you can still buy from the BBQ on the day. The Walkathon will commence at 1:30 pm and finish at 3pm. All money needs to be collected and bought back to school by the morning of Thursday 5th April, the winners will be announced and the lucky dip draw will happen at the Easter Hat Parade. Remember...you must have all the money in by Thursday 5th April to be in the running for these great prizes.

Road Dangers...* It has been reported that some

students are under the impression that the schicanes on Rothery Road are a crossing and that cars should stop. This is not a crossing and cars are not expecting to stop! Could all parents please remind their children that they need to go up to the light at the top of Rothery to cross safely if they are unattended by a parent.

* We had a very distressed motorist ring us yesterday to let us know that some students riding bikes and scooters were riding all over the road without helmets. Could I remind parents again that it is an offence and students / parents can be fined for not wearing a helmet.

Good Guys...We have registered the school in the Good Guys promotion again this year. Last year we had enough points to buy an iPod touch, docking and an iTunes Voucher which we are using as one of our Walkathon prizes.

How can you help????For every $25 dollars spent at The Good Guys Warrawong by parents and families, staff or associates of the registered school a $1 Reward

Voucher will be donated to the school to purchase products. So if you or someone you know need white goods go to Good Guys Warrawong and mention our school. Every little bit counts, Nan’s Pop’s, Aunts and Uncles can all mention Corrimal PS.

IPad APP’s...A couple of iPad Apps which can be downloaded onto iPads, iPod touch and iPhones...1.EDMODO.. . Free . . . Vir tua l

classrooms, students can submit homework and take part in discussions with their teachers.

2.ABC iView... Free Access TV shows, documentaries and news.

3.rED Writing... $1.99 Students learn handwriting to the classroom standard.

Bike LicenceThe updates school Bike Policy and licence application forms are now available from Mr Dewar. All Corrimal Primary School students who plan to ride a skateboard, scooter or bike to school are required to apply for their licence. NSW road laws state that an adult MUST supervise any child under the age of 10 as they ride to and/ or from school.

Woolworths PromotionWe recently received our shipment of class resources from our 10,000 Woolies vouchers that were collected in 2011. They have been dispersed to the classrooms and the children have enjoyed the use of new equipment. We have Kindergarten alphabet puzzles, musical instruments, boxes of crayons, mathematical dice, and lots of crafty pieces including stencils and special paper.
