From The Principal:

ICAS 2019

Students in Years 2-6 will once again have the opportunity to participate in ICAS testing. ICAS is an

independent, skills-based assessment program. It is not compulsory and the results are not part of our

school assessment program. ICAS is run by the University of NSW. You can find out more about ICAS via

this link: https://www.eaa.unsw.edu.au/icas/about. A timetable detailing when these test will take

place will be published closer to the test dates. All registrations need to be submitted to the school

office and paid for by Friday 29 March. No late registrations will be accepted.

P&C News Please join us in the library on Wednesday at 7pm for the P&C AGM. The March P&C meeting will follow after the AGM. If you would like to know more about the P&C you can contact me at president@tspspandc.org.au Greg Monahan P&C President

Canteen News You may be aware that for the last few Fridays, Flexischools have had intermittent issues with parents placing orders. Flexischools advise that changes have been made to their servers which should hopefully rectify the issues. Given the issues seem to occur on Friday mornings, we recommend, where possible, that you place orders on Thursdays until Flexischools sort this out. Thank you everyone for your understanding - the canteen can get hectic when Flexischools is down. A call out to 5/6F - it’s your turn this Friday to volunteer (8/3). Next week (15/3) is 5N. Please let your class parent know if you can help. Sam Le Cornu for Canteen Committee
