compete in, have extra warm clothes, a packed lunch with more food
than normal (they get really hungry), a good sized drink bottle, and sun
protection.
Buses will deliver to Centennial Park in the morning and pick up from
there in the afternoon. If you take your child home yourself at the end
of the day, please tell their teacher, and me (Mr Bradley – I supervise
the buses).

itchy bite that is not healing and looks like it may have become infected and you would
like me to treat it. Some other health issues I can treat are Asthma, Eczema and
toileting issues. Parental consent must be given for me to treat. If you think this free
service would be of help to you and your family at any time please let the school or I
