FOOTBALL COACH / COACHES NEEDED – URGENT

Football coach/s needed – Urgent

School Football season is nearly ready to commence. To enable us to field one of our 2/3 teams we urgently need a parent or parents to take on the coaching and management roles. Without your support we will not be able field this team. Perhaps a couple of parents can share the coaching role as this works well in other school sports. A team manager or managers is also needed.

Please contact Kendall Zimmerman, school football coordinator to help out and give the kids a chance to play.

SOCCER – still room for more players

Reponse to our last request for players was encouraging and teams are closer to being finalised. There are some gaps in the U8 teams (2 teams at the moment)to allow for subs when students can’t play. For the teams to be viable we need about 4 more players at this level.. Come out and have a try! Girls and boys welcome. Collect a registration form from the front office. Contact our soccer coordinator David Brammy (0401564123) for further details if required.

Dismissal Time Tomorrow

Dismissal time.
Apparently the Parent Handbook says that dismissal time tomorrow (Easter Thursday) is at 2:10. This must have been wishful thinking, because it is not correct! Dismissal is at the normal time of 3:10.
Enterprise Day.
Every year the adult feedback about Enterprise Day is that there is not enough savoury lunch food. For this to happen we need parent help, as the day is student run and food handling and safety requirements mean that students are not able to do this unaided.
We have some great ideas for providing food, but need help from adults to make it happen. If you are able to spend an hour or two on April 14th helping serve food please contact me.
The Sports Committee will be running a BBQ.

Apple Product Charger Swap

If you have any ipad/iphone/mac chargers that need to be changed over with the recall, I will be at the front office on Monday morning 21/3/16 8.15 til 8.50am.  You will need to bring your old charger (only the part that has the prongs that actually goes into the powerpoint) with you before I can give you a replacement. Students are welcome to make the swap for parents if parents can’t make it in themselves.

There will be a chance for you to swap your chargers on late night parent teacher interviews on Tuesday 29th March – I’ll be in the lower mortlock corridor, in my office opposite the lift for anyone who wants to swap their chargers 6-7pm

There will be an afternoon swap time on Monday 11th April, front office verandah 3-3.30pm
