Office. Information packs available from the

School.

Every time you shop at the Golden Apple please keep your dockets. All dockets can be placed in a box at

the school office. Let’s see if we can beat last years record!

This is a very easy way to raise funds for our school.

LIBRARY TIMES:

Monday: Years 2/3/4 & Years 5/6 Tuesday: K/1 You will need a library bag or a sturdy plastic bag for borrowing books. This protects books from getting damaged in school bags. Please bring your library book on library day so that you can re-borrow.

PAINT SHIRTS/APRONS FOR ART: We do have old shirts at school for art/craft days but if children wish to bring their own paint shirt or apron that would be good. A plastic apron would be best as paint often goes through cloth onto their school uniform. Art afternoons are: Monday: k/1, Tuesday: 2/3/4 Wednesday: 5/6. Mrs Sgroi,, Teacher.

SPARE CLOTHING Sometimes our students have accidents. Could parents please put spare clothing in a plastic bag. These can be kept in their bags in case of emergencies.
