What's Ahead for Week 8?

Welcome to Week 8!

On Friday, a note was sent home regarding our Prep Excursion to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Week 11 of this term. Please check your child's KIT folder to ensure you have this note. You need to complete the slip at the bottom of the note and return to school ASAP.

The note also outlined the need for parent helpers to come with us on this excursion. We need 4 parents who are willing to supervise a group of students from our class for the day. As you need to give our students your full attention, we are unable to have siblings come along with parent helpers. You will also need to make your own travel arrangements (most parents meet at school then carpool together), but the cost of entry is covered by the school.

You will also need to complete our online Student Protection and

Code of Conduct for Volunteers training. It can be accessed from:

http://www.bne.catholic.edu.au/students-parents/student-protection/Pages/Code-of-Conduct-Training.aspx

On the subject of parent helpers, we are now asking for helpers to come into our classroom and help with literacy (reading, sight words, letters/sounds) in the mornings. Helpers are needed on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9.00am to 9.45am (approximately). If you are interested in being a parent helper, please let me know via email. You will also need to complete the online training above.

Have a wonderful Week 8!
