Helpers needed
We are seeking help to collate information packs for our upcoming Open Morning. If you are available on Monday 6 May at 1.30pm we would love to see you.
Please email your availability to Nerel and thank you in anticipation.
Tuition Fee reminder
Term 2 fee invoices were sent by email prior to the end of last term. Please pay by either of the methods outlined, or contact Bryce McLean (Business Manager) if you are having any difficulties, to avoid the risk of incurring the $100 Late Payment Fee outlined in the school's fee schedule.
If you cannot locate your invoice please email accounts@preshil.vic.edu.au to request a copy, or a statement.
Mindfulness Songs for Kids
Kate Oliver (Martha's mum) has released an album called PASSING CLOUDS - Mindfulness Songs for Kids (and their Grown-ups) - and it's now available at the Arlington front office for $20.
Passing Clouds is a 12 song mindfulness experience that covers themes ranging from the breath, thoughts, and big messy emotions, to gratitude, self-compassion, and the brain (Track 4 The Amygdala Song promises to be a world first/genre-defining number..).
