Mother Days Stall Last Friday TRBPS PFA held the Mother’s Day Stall and it was lovely to see

the children taking such time and care to select the ‘right gift’ for their mum

or special person in their life. I hope you all had a very ‘Happy Mother’s

Day’ last Sunday and that you were spoilt by your loved ones! Thank you to

the PFA president Alexis Martin and all of the volunteers who assisted with

operating the stall and organising the merchandise for sale. It was a very

successful day with both happy children and mums who were spoilt by the

thoughtful gifts.

Pat the Dog is coming to Tucker Road Bentleigh

Primary!

MONDAY 16TH MAY ASSEMBLY

Pat the Dog is coming to talk to us about the Commonwealth Bank School Banking program. The School Banking program includes an exciting and exclusive Rewards Program that encourages students to get into the habit of saving regularly. Every time your child makes a deposit at school they receive a silver Dollarmites token. Once students have individually collected 10 tokens they can redeem them for an exclusive School Banking reward item in recognition of their regular savings habits. Pat the Dog will be excited to see you all on Monday 16th May at Assembly. Remember, School Banking day is every Tuesday Leanne from the Commonwealth Bank will stay after Assembly to speak to any interested Parents and will have Banking Information Packs.

GREEN TEAM NEWS Today green team had a planting session in the garden around our flag posts. These plants are like azaleas and produce blue and white flowers. They were donated to Tucker Rd from my Greek neighbour whose son attended this school many years ago. Great team led by Amelia and Lachie you did a fantastic job. Well done to the whole team.
