As we move towards the last few weeks of school and with the weather now much warmer our students (and the adults too!!) will be showing signs of tiredness. This is an article I came across that may help parents after school pick-up.
5 Sure-Fire Ways to Stop The After School Attitude
Greet Without The Questions
“Would you like to tell me about your day now or at dinner?”
Feed Them A Heathy Snack
Get rid of HANGRY with fruit, yogurt, and veggies.
Allow for Downtime
Does your child need to run, jump, and spin? Or do they need some quiet alone time?
Be Consistent with Rules
Keep things as normal as possible.
Connect and Reflect
Spend 10-15 minutes with your child without distractions.

Helping Hands Christmas Tree
The concept of the Helping Hands Christmas Tree Gift is to provide families in our school
community who might be finding it difficult at this time of the year. We can provide these
families with a gift for the children or a hamper of Christmas goodies to place under the tree.
Can you provide a little something for this initiative?
We are asking families in our school community to participate. Please contact the PFA via
[email protected] and we will provide you with some details – please note for all families,
that the recipient will remain anonymous to the donor.
From the President
What’s the news?
Hi all, end of year is fast approaching and all the activities this term make it come even faster. At our
meeting last week (where was everyone?) we decided to have a pre-Christmas craft sale on Monday, 11th
December to use some of the craft work Rachael H has produced and also some of the stock we have
from previous stalls. Any contributions, ideas or other help will be welcomed. Stay tuned for more details. We
will also aim for another low key end-of-year picnic at Wattle Park this year with all welcome. It’s a nice way
to round off the school year.
There will be a break-up meeting on Tuesday, 5th December (contact PFA for details) and an Annual
General Meeting for the PFA in March. Please start thinking about whether you would like to take on a role
in the committee so the PFA can continue. I know the school can function without a PFA, but parental input
will always be needed to keep the school well-funded and to help maintain a good community. We
appreciate feedback and fresh ideas.
Have a great week.
PFA President – Robin Fripp.
How can you help?
