LONE PINE TREE

DONATION Recently we were

extremely fortunate to

have received the very

kind donation of a Lone

Pine Tree from the

Maitland RSL Sub

Branch. This donation

was through the

Australian War Memorial

and has been very

proudly planted behind

our flag pole. We

sincerely thank the

Maitland RSL Sub

Branch and especially

the representatives who

attended the planting

celebration.

LOST PROPERTY Our 'Lost Property' box is

overflowing at the

moment with lots and

lots of jumpers and other

items of clothing, without

names. If your child is

missing a jumper,

chances are it may be

having a little holiday in

our 'Lost Property Box'!!

We are encouraging the

children to label their

jumpers and other

clothing items.

Your support with this is

appreciated.

WELCOME TO

WEEK 5

Tomorrow we are all

very excited to be

holding our combined

Education Week and

Book Week celebrations.

The afternoon will

commence at 12.00pm

where you are invited to

visit classrooms.

We will then all meet out

on the basketball court

at about 12.40pm and

be entertained by some

wonderful singing and

public speaking.

From 1pm until 2pm you

are invited to share a

picnic lunch with your

children.

Then after lunch we

have some fun activities

planned, including our

very special Book Week

Parade! We also have a

Book Fair in the Library

that you might like to

visit and have a look at

the many beautiful

books available to

purchase (cash only).

Don’t forget to dress

up as your favourite

book character!

We look forward to

seeing you there!

All Welcome!!
