Fires at Campvale and Salt Ash

While we are not directly affected by the fires at the school, we have many families that have relatives that live close to and within the fire areas. Please ensure you have your bushfire survival plan in place and remain safe. If we have an emergency situation at school, we will notify parents and carers through Skoolbag (first), our school Facebook page (second) and the school web site / phone. Please also be aware these methods of communication may experience interruption during and emergency. To assist with keeping up to date with information during an emergency, please ensure you use the "Fires near me" and "Live Traffic" apps on your mobile phone and listen to local radio news stations. Attached to this newsletter is the emergency planning and response page we previously sent out. Please retain this information to assist you if we have an emergency situation.

Thank you also to the staff, parents and carers for your time, advice, coaching skills and offers of transport.

ABPS is hosting the Twilight Band Concert this year on Thursday, 6 December (each school takes turns). This is a great opportunity to showcase our beautiful school! We are looking for volunteers during the day to help decorate both inside and outside the school hall (two staff members will be there all day needing assistance). If you are interested in helping out – should be lots of fun – Hawaiian Theme – please contact me. Additionally, we are looking for people willing to BBQ and help serve food (sausages and drinks) to all the children that are performing on the night. Again, please contact me, if you are able to help. Our next P&C meeting is currently being scheduled. We had to cancel the meeting earlier this week at the last minute. Please call, if you are interested in attending, and I will let you know the place and time. Renee Thompson 0421 435 646
