Pool Party
Because of the extreme heat this week, we have changed the time for the pool party at the Merbein pool on Thursday. After the roll has been marked, students will catch a bus to the pool and return at approximately 11.30. A decision about the return time will be made based on the temperature at the time. Please ensure your child has had sunscreen applied before school. It will be re-applied again at the pool. Students will need to bring water, hat, bathers, towel and sunscreen. Lunch will now be at school so the canteen will be available for the last time in 2019.
Your child will have received a permission note already and all permission notes will need to be returned by Wednesday so that we can organise bus numbers. Students without permission notes will remain at school. We are not able to accept text messages for permission. Please sign and return ASAP. Please refer to the original note for all that your child requires on the day.
OSHC Program Fee Increase
We would like to wish all our OSHC families a wonderful Christmas and look forward to having your child/ren attend in 2020.
School Council has approved an increase in the price per session for our OSHC program. From Wednesday 29th January 2020, the fee per session will be $18.00. This is the first increase in our fees since the program commenced.
Toys for Kids
The Primary students are excited to have raised $200.70 for the Royal Children's Hospital Neuro Rehab to buy toys for children to retrain their brains through play. We would like to thank parents for their support.
