Scienza Viva Science ShowsIn Week 3 of term 4 the Scienza Viva team will be returning to Barrington to run three one-hour science shows. Each classroom will be seeing and engaging with their own specific show and activities. Next week I will be sending home more details of the shows and a permission note. The cost of this will be $7 per child (very good value relative to other touring science shows). Could you please return this note and payment to Mrs Young in the office as soon as possible?Many thanks. Mrs Laurie

School bus pick-up timeJust a gentle reminder to parents to please ensure that if you do plan to pick your child up after school you need to be here by bus time please.

PSSA Soccer Finals Gala DayReminder that notes and money must be in this Friday 13 September. We would ask that you pay with cash, not by cheque, not only because of the time constraints but also because that money will need to be dispersed to the allocated drivers.
