BOOK PACKS

We ask that the book pack payment be made as soon as possible since students are using the texts daily in class. Cost of the 2013 book pack is $45 per student. CLEAN UP AUSTRALIAN DAY

Clean Up Australia Day was held last Friday. Thankfully the rain stayed away for us to clean around the school grounds. Once again we were all surprised at just how much rubbish we managed to find. All students in years K-6 were armed with gloves and a rubbish bag and they enjoyed making our school neat and tidy. Check out our photos on page 2! FESTIVAL OF FOOTBALL—YR 3-6

Unfortunately this activity has been cancelled due to the state of the grounds. Council has been unable to mow or maintain the fields due to the ongoing wet weather. K/1/2 PRE-SCHOOL VISIT

K/1/2 have been lucky enough to be invited to the Pre-School to join them in the ‘Farm Animal’ show. On Monday 25 March K1-2 will be walking down to the Pre-School to be entertained by the ‘Farm Animal’ Show. Cost will be $6.00 please find a note included in this newsletter and return as soon as possible. STUDENT UPDATE FORM

Today students turned over the soil to start a new year in the vegie garden. We planted: sugar snap peas, beetroot, cabbage, spinach, broccoli and onions. Hopefullly the weather will be kind to us and our seedlings will take off. The students really enjoy working in the garden and love seeing the plants mature and harvesting the produce.

CANTEEN ROSTER REQUEST FORM - TERM 1 2013

The school canteen is run entirely by parents for the benefit of all children at the school. The

children love buying something from the canteen, especially when their own parent is there to serve

them. Toddlers are welcome to come along with you for the day but because of the O.H. & S. Act

they are not allowed in the canteen. Remember the more helpers the fewer days we have to do.
