This week all families in the school will receive 10 raffle tickets to sell for $1 each for the P&C Mother's Day Raffle, which will be drawn on Thursday 9 May. 

We need your help in two ways: firstly, if everyone could please return their sold tickets - along with the money - to the P&C Box in the front office (or Vista St Kindy if you are an offsite parent) by Monday 6 May. Please make sure each ticket is marked clearly with the name and phone number.

Secondly, we need some kind donations towards making the hamper! It could be anything: jams, soaps, chocolates, tea etc. These donations can be made via the boxes provided in the onsite kindy classrooms as well as a box at Vista St. If these could be made by Monday 6 May also it would be greatly appreciated!

More tickets can be made available - please ask your class P&C Parent rep and we will arrange for extra tickets to be distributed.

Thank you,

Cat, Steele, Berol and Sarah-Jane

If you’ve been waiting for your chance to get involved with the school but haven’t put your hand up for anything yet – now is your chance to get in on the fun stuff!

We are happy for students who are being directly supervised by the parents to play on playground equipment after school. Supervising other people's children, without consent from their parents, is not compliant with legal requirements. Equipment can not be used before school (except by clubs who have been licensed to use the school site for training) and the oval is out of bounds before and after school.

It has been school policy for some time for the early childhood area (enclosed area where the kindy and pre-primary classes are located) to be vacated by 3:30pm.  Likewise, now that we have OSHClub on site, it is important that we vacate the schools grounds by 3:30pm to allow the OSHClub to use the area, as they are licensed to do.
