PARKING PRESSURES AROUND THE SCHOOL
In recent weeks, you may have noticed Shire Traffic Inspectors, patrolling the early morning drop offs and
pickups around the school. Please note, the school has no jurisdiction over these matters when
infringements are issued.
The school is however astutely aware of the limited parking spaces and drop off zones
around the school due to Life Ed Van, Building works and Family Life.
Please be assured that the safety of our students is of paramount importance and we
will continue to be proactive in this important area.In the interim, we encourage you to leave a few minutes earlier each
morning/afternoon so that you might park a little further away from the school, thereby
eliminating any potential frustrations/safety concerns.
A staff member parked in the Staff Car Park had their car damaged last week. If you have any information in
regard to this incident please make contact with the office. It is a timely reminder that parents are not to park
in this area. The space is to be used by staff including cleaners and visitors from the Educational settings.

Concert Stories by 2BOn the day my legs were shivering but when I got there I was feeling a bit better. First the kinder kids
sang, they were doing a good job with the words.
Then the choir was backstage and then they performed in front of
the whole school.
Next the preps sang two songs together. After the preps it was the
grade ones turn. 1H sang first then it was 1Ps turn. After 1Ps turn it
was us!!!!I was really scared and nervous. Luckily when I got into the song I
was not nervous anymore. Then it was 2Js turn they were a dragon
and it was awesome as they had lights on the dragon.
All of the other acts were good but the funniest act of all was the teachers with Mr Whitworth playing the
drum and then standing on it. By Ella G
On Friday we went to the concert and 2B was 8 thin the program. We did a Bali song and 2J did adragon dance. We were practising and practising and we did it.
And we got claps. and then the finale. By Riley 2B
Our grade 2B went to the concert on the 24thof October on Friday.
When it was our turn I went in the front near Mackenzie. As the curtains
opened, I straight away got stage fright.
We sang head, shoulders, knees and
toes in Indonesian speech. The song
was called Kepala, Punduk, Lutut,
Kaki. As I was singing I started to shiver but it started to stop when
the curtains were closing.
After all the acts I went home and got changed into my PJsand I
went to bed after I was ready.I had lots of fun at the concert. My costume was a sarong and a black t-
shirt. The sarong had a picture of Luna park on it. The next morning
I was very tired because I had a big bike ride. I had a very, very good
day. By Summer
On Friday Marshall and I got ready for the concert. When it was2Bs turn we were singing an Indonesian song and Mum was
smiling at me. My legs were shaking when I got on stage but as Igot into it and saw Mum smiling I was happy. By Tristan S

The concert
The concert for 2014 is starting. The kinders act was first. Then it was
the preps. Soon after was the grade 1s. After was 2B.
Then it was us. We got the dragon ready and soon the
music started. We marched out and everyone was
amazed. We had to go up some stairs and that was thepart when people were slow. We did a big circle on the
stage then put the dragon down. We did another
big circle on stage but without the dragon. Soon
we got into our lines but most people went in the front line
instead of the back line. We did our moves counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8 then changing moves. After a couple of minutes, our act
was over.

School Concert
Butterflies gobbling in my tummy and soon the music went onDent, Dent,
Dent Dent. We stomped through the crowd and
followed the person in front of us. I felt nervous,
then I felt extremely excited. Then I saw my Mum,
Dad, Poppy and Lily and I felt happy. We were all
white. Mrs Young showed us the moves then we
went on stage. The dragons head was red. Wewere lined up biggest to smallest. Then we did
the karate moves and Paige and I got
interviewed. Oliver said to me, Where did you get your costume from?
I said, The shops. Then it was Paiges turn.
Gus said to Paige, Who made the moves up?
Paige said, Mrs Young, and she did a wonderful job.
Then we went and sat on the floor. When 2B were acting we were getting the
dragon. 2B were great at the Indonesian. By Kayden
