Dear Parents, Staff and Students,

Today we congratulate the members of our Choir and Dance

groups who represented our school at Sunfest on Saturday. We

are all very proud of your efforts both on the day and during the

hard work in preparing for your performances. This was recog-

nised by the judges with the Choir awarded runners up in the

‘Battle of The Choirs’ and Dance group achieving best school

in the Parade. Thank you to the staff and families who turned

up to support our students on the day.

Up until 3rd April for every $10 spent at Coles you will re-

ceive a Sports for School voucher. Please bring the vouchers

to school and place them in the collection box at the office.

Please tell all your friends and family that our school is collect-

ing the vouchers.

Thank you to families who have already volunteered to assist

with watering of our new garden areas. We will be in touch

early next week with further details. If you are able to assist on

weekends or during the upcoming holidays please call the of-

fice on 97444566 to have your name put on our roster.

A twelve month casual vacancy to replace retired member

Mark Davies was filled by Aaron Malcolm.

We would like to thank retiring members Mark Davies and

David McLean for their support over the past few years.

Many families wonder ‘How much screen time should I allow

my child?’ Along with today’s newsletter we have sent home

the Michael Grose Parenting Ideas article ‘Getting The Screen

Time Balance right’ which we hope you will find useful in

your household.

Thank you to all who have been busily gathering sponsors

for next week’s ‘Kismet Colour Challenge’. The prize for

the class that raises the most money is very close and hotly

contested.

We have included a schedule for the day below for all who

are keen to come along and see all the fun taking place.

As part of our Kismet Colour Challenge and obstacle

course, we are declaring a (free) casual clothes day for the

last day of Term 1. Children are encouraged to come

dressed in a white or light coloured t-shirt to get the most

out of the Colour Challenge! And a quick reminder to pack

a towel in your child's bag on this day if possible. All spon-

sorship forms and money is due in no later than Thursday

29th March please.

The times below provide n general indication of times for

the ‘Obstacool Course’ and Colour Challenge. Please be

aware that times may vary according to a range of factors

throughout the day.

We hope to see you there to cheer our students on! For

safety and to assist with maintaining our schedule we ask

all spectators to remain in designated viewing areas and to

follow any instructions / requests from staff or event volun-

teers. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated!

Go BLUES!!
