Update -

* New Stop Drop and Go signs have been approved and will

be installed within the next 2 weeks.

* The existing red signs attached to the fence will be

removed as they refer to a 30 second time limit.

* The new parking signs will permit parking for up to 2

minutes.

* After the new signs have been erected and parents have

been notified via newsletter of the 2min max time limit etc,

we will reassess for compliance at this time and then make

recommendations to the Parking Officers to attend if non-

compliance is observed.

Our Resident DJ MC Witchy Poo otherwise known as our newsletter writer is also the owner of Dream Factory Soap Worx a local business dedicated to ridding our homes of toxic chemicals. Skin Friendly, Vegan Friendly, Earth Friendly AND Budget Friendly. All handmade by Carolyn she is passionate about her products and our school. So we are having a “pie drive” style Fundraiser with 20% of all sales coming directly to the P&C. How cool!! Moving forward all future sales from WSS Families will also see regular donations to the P&C. With a little preppie starting with us next year you will always have access to these awesome products. Flyers will be coming home with children on Thursday this week with an order form attached. This order form can be dropped into the yellow P&C box in the office or you can order direct via e mail or phone.

The “pie” in this “pie drive” is a product we all need and use and the best seller in Carolyn’s business – Laundry Butter – full details and instructions will be in the flyer but it is based on a 300 year old recipe, that is septic tank and grey water safe, comes in a range of “flavours” –scents all made with essential oils, won’t damage or fade your clothes, will also protect your washing machine from rust and mould therefore prolonging the life of your machine. AND its cheaper than all leading supermarket brands!

Win Win All Round Fundraiser

Collections will be at the Twilight Markets and Carols evening or at drop off the next morning. Other arrangements can be made outside of that if necessary. All orders must be in by end of play on Friday 24th.
