Joke of the Week
There was a young Scottish boy called Angus who decided to try life in Australia.
He found an apartment in a small block and settled in.
After a week or two, his mother called from Aberdeen to see how her son was doing in his new life.
'I'm fine, ' Angus said. 'But there are some really strange people living in these apartments. One woman cried all day long, another lies on her floor moaning, and there is a guy next door to me who bangs his head on the wall all the time.'
'Well, ma laddie,' says his mother, 'I suggest you don't associate with people like that.'
'Oh,' says Angus, 'I don't, Mam, I don't. No, I just stay inside my apartment all day and night, playing my bagpipes.'
School Disco - TONIGHT!
Our school disco is on tonight (Friday 20th October)! All children are welcome to come along to the multi-purpose hall from 6.30pm - 8.45pm for some dancing, music and fun! We are lucky to have Bop Till You Drop hosting the night. All children will receive a free glow stick on arrival and a zooper dooper at the end of the night. Tickets may still be purchased at the door ($5 per child).
Please note the following:
At the beginning of the night (6.30pm) children are to enter from the main doors (basketball court / carpark side). Parents/guardians must enter with their child/ren and sign them in.
At the end of the night (8.45pm) parents/guardians must enter from the doors at the oval side to sign out and collect and their child/ren.
Parents are not required to stay for the event. If you would like to stay then please email Belinda and please bring your WWCC to show Belinda upon arrival. Please note that parent/guardians without a WWCC will not be permitted to stay.
Term 4 Uniform
We remind parents and children that term 4 has a ‘No Hat – No Play’ Sunsmart policy. Children must have their hats for every break and PE lesson this term. It must also be a proper Holy Saviour hat, normal caps with other logos are not our school uniform and children will not be allowed to play unless it is the proper hat. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Just a reminder also that during term 4, all children will be required to wear their sport uniforms on Tuesdays (dance lessons) and Thursdays (swimming). Full school uniform is to be worn on all other days.
