Shane’s Simplicities...... Active After-School Communities Program

Week 2 of our teeball and basketball programs will proceed this week. The Wednesday program is now full and there is only one space left for students interested in basketball. Last week was a wonderful start and it was great to see students happily engaged in the activities they were doing. Hopefully this will continue throughout the 7 week program.

After school supervision Parents are reminded that supervision at school concludes at 3:55pm. All children should have been collected from school by this time or departed by their regular means (bus, bike, walking etc.). Students attending dance groups in our school hall should NOT be remaining at school and waiting for dance to start at 5pm. It is not appropriate for primary aged students to be left unsupervised for this period of time.

Children who are waiting after school are reminded that they are still under the direction of teaching staff and should remain in the areas supervised by teachers.

Until next week…

Book Packs & Voluntary Contributions

Book Packs this year have remained at $40 per student and Voluntary Contributions $20 per child or $40 per family. We urge all parents to please

The entry cost remains the same; $5 per student or $12 per family, this includes a sausage sizzle, drink and a treat. Please send along a plate of ‘yummies’ for us to sell. Sending spending money with some change is always helpful.

Year 3/4T NewsOn behalf of the class I would like to extend our thanks to the Turner family who have

supplied us with the base boards for our next craft project. It is wonderful to have the support of David and Marites, as the timber was specially cut and milled for us. Wow!

National Ride 2 School DayWednesday 19 March is National Ride 2 School Day for 2014 and excitement is mounting as we get closer to the day.Children will be discussing safety procedures about riding to school on the weeks leading up to the day. On the day we will celebrate and share our experiences, we will also discuss any issues that occurred as they travelled to school. The children will also be participating in a colouring/design competition. Data will be collected and sent to the organiser of National Ride to School Day for nationwide collation.

A few reminders for the day include:• School gates will be open as normal to allow parents and students to walk, ride or skate.• Riders/skaters to wear helmets.• To ensure security of the bikes and scooters, students are to place their bikes on the bike rack.• Parents can assist by riding or walking to school with their children to ensure safety procedures are followed.• Students who travel by bus can also get into the spirit by ensuring that they follow the safety procedures needed for safe bus travel.
