CURRICULUM DAY TOMORROW (FRIDAY 5TH JUNE): Please remember that tomorrow is a School Council approved Curriculum Day and therefore the children are not required to attend school. All staff will be using the day to update their First Aid training. We take the children’s health and safety very seriously and as such, every staff member is required to be trained in Level 2 First Aid. I hope you can all take advantage of a lovely extra long weekend with Monday’s Queens Birthday public holiday.

PARENTS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION **Bingo!** Tonight (Thursday 4th June) is our night to help with the running of Bingo in the Hall. Starting at 6.45pm we assist with selling lucky tickets, serving in the canteen, helping with tea & coffee and cleaning up at the end of the night. All volunteers are free to play as we only need to help before, after and during the breaks. So if you would like to join us, it is a fun – and sometimes profitable – night!! If you are interested in coming along please contact Daniela Teufel via our school Facebook page. FOUNDATION ENROLMENTS FOR 2016 Planning has begun for 2016. For those families who intend to enrol their child for next year, could you please return their completed forms ASAP. This is most important as it will enable us to accurately plan for the 2016 year Walk, ride, scoot & skate to school About kids and walking Children who walk, cycle or scoot to and from school are generally more active and fitter than children who don't. Walking is also a great way for: •children to get to know their local areas better, and meet other children and adults in the neighbourhood •children to pick up the safety skills and confidence they'll need to travel independently as they get older •parents to find time to talk with their kids, without having to focus on driving •communities to cut the traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution caused by our reliance on cars. For more information contact Council’s Active Children’s Officer, Kate Beveridge on 1300787624. HEAD LICE There have been a number of cases of head lice reported in the school. It is important to combat this problem. The only way to do this is if everyone checks their children’s hair regularly and treat it appropriately. If everyone does this we stand a better chance of eradicating the problem. Treatment usually needs to be applied at least twice for it to be effective. Boys Under 12 Hockey Team If you would like to support TJ (and his team ) as he represents NNGPS at the National Championships in Perth, there are still raffle tickets in the office.
