School banking details-

Reference – your surname

Student Absences. Please remember if your child is absent from school, you must inform the school the reason for their ab-sence. You can send a note, tell their teacher, contact the school or send us a message via http://goo.gl/i0dKiJ **Bags of shredded paper are available from the office. It’s great for chook sheds and mulch on gar-den beds.

Grounds Maintenance Roster. Thank you very much to those families who have completed their jobs. You can come up to school to do a job from the roster any time that suits you. The aim of the roster is to reduce the need for working bees or to pay someone to come and do our yard maintenance. I have to say, our yard is looking really neat and tidy because we are all working together to keep it that way.

► If you are working up a ladder e.g. clearing

leaves from gutters, you must have another person there with you to hold the ladder.

► If you can’t do your week, you must arrange a swap with another family and let the school know who you have swapped with and what date you now have on the roster.

► When you have completed one of the jobs, please let the office know so we can cross it off our list.

Thank you for helping our school to look cared for.

Week Beginning-

Community Garden. We have some old garden bed bases available to go to a new home. If you would like to purchase one, or two, or all of them! Let us know. We also have the old tyres that could be used around trees on a farm or for a swing in your backyard maybe. Any funds raised from the sale of these items will go back in to the garden fund. There are some bricks still to be lifted in the area. If you have some time to come along and lift some or all of them up that would be very helpful. We will reuse the bricks in the area. If you have a wood fire at home can you start stock-piling ash and coal from your fire as we are going to use it in a magic soil improver Dean is going to help us make. If you would like to be involved, or you know someone in our community who would love to be part of this project, please let us know.

There will be some snacks provided along with some different hands on activities, ranging from arts and crafts to board games, along with a quiet corner for those who would like to read, outside ac-tivities (if the weather is nice) with Friday's being a movie and pop corn. For any enquiries please do not hesitate to contact the school. If you would like to use the service you must- 1. Complete an enrolment form asap. We recom-

mend you complete an enrolment form now so if you do need to use the service unexpectedly your child/ren is/are already enrolled.

2. Let us know what days your child will be using the service.

3. For casual bookings you must let us know by 11:00am on the day if you want your child booked in.
