PLAYGROUND NEWSPLAYGROUND NEWSPLAYGROUND NEWSPLAYGROUND NEWS Recently we requested an audit of our play-ground equipment and some of this was found to be worn and fatigued from years of use. We have closed areas affected and have begun the repair process. Soon the equipment will be rectified and available for use. We will take this opportunity to remod-el the surface of the area to prevent the usual cascade of soft fall towards the bas-ketball courts. I would like to thank Iain Wood, Rolf Scharfbillig, Dush Vidovic and John Gallacher who removed dangerous portions of the equipment on a recent Saturday afternoon. The Grounds Committee met this morning to determine remedial actions.

2014 CLASSES2014 CLASSES2014 CLASSES2014 CLASSES Parents with any special considerations regarding the class placement of their child for 2014 were requested to put these in writing by November 15. These are requests only and should not contain specific requests for teachers. As with other years, there will be some staff changes that may involve late appoint-ments. Every effort will be made to maxim-ise straight year levels, but some year level numbers can make this difficult. Our policy is that all children will have their turn in composite classes.
