Dear Parents and Carers,

A huge thank you to everyone for your support of the annual School Cross Country carnival as well as our first ever Colour Run.  It was a great day full of exercise and good fun. A special thank you to Mrs Augustine and the school staff for their fine organisation and support of the day.  Thank you to the parents of the P&F and all of the parent helpers for their efforts in providing such a great community day that will be long remembered.

Best wishes for the coming week,

Philip Barrington

$5.00 entry.  Please pay at the door.

Rules for the Disco:

(These rules are to ensure the safety of everyone who is accessing our school)

• Only parent volunteers and staff will be permitted in the Hall.  Parent volunteers must have signed a Volunteer's Declaration with the School Office.
• All children will remain in the Hall for the entire disco (toilets and canteen facilities are located inside the Hall).
• Parents and younger and older siblings are not permitted to wait in the school playground.  (Why not bring your child to the Hall and go and have a child free hour or so and then return to collect your child at the end of the disco?)
• Younger and older siblings will only be allowed to be present if they are accompanying their parent who is a volunteer, and they must remain under the supervision of their parent at all times.

The P&F Association would like to thank everyone for the support given for our first ever colour run. The event was a huge success and all the children enjoyed the day immensely. Thank you to all of our parent helpers on the day. Without your support it would not have been possible.

All cash donations and forms need to be returned to the school office by this Friday, 5th April. Online donations will still be open until the 11^th of April. Prize selection will be available on the students online profile between the 3^rd of April until the 11^th of April and will arrive at the beginning of term 2. 

The announcement of highest overall fundraiser and class will occur once all student fundraising has been finalised.

Collection tubs will be in each class this week. Attached is the donation list for each week.

This week is blocks of chocolate for the 'Chocolate Throw' Stall. This store is a highly profitable store for our fete as earnings become pure profit due to the chocolate blocks being donated. Last year this store made a profit of over $1,000 and only ran for half the day to be being sold out. If we could donate more blocks this year, it could potentially mean to double the profit. 

Please ensure expiry dates are after August 2019.
