Dear Parents/Carers Tomorrow, Cliff Dykes Photography will be at school to take our 2014 school photos of all our children. The photos will commence as soon as the morning bell for classes goes so it is important that all children are at school on time on Thursday. For our school photos, all students need to be in full school SUMMER uniform. If your child’s class has P.E., they will need to bring their sports uniform to change into after their photos are taken. For children who are away on this day, Cliff normally comes back a week or so later to take catch-up individual photos. Photos envelopes have already been sent home and these are to be brought to school on Thursday and handed directly to the photographers. Boys Cricket

A reminder would then be sent home at the start of each term. School Staff Car Parks There is some concern about the number of parents/carers using the car parks and access road to pick up & drop students off. This is a real safety issue for us and our students. The two car parks are for staff parking only & deliveries for our school. Please do not use these areas as the students, especially the younger ones do not look for cars while they cross to get to the office or playgrounds. Please park your vehicle in either Myall Street or Lachlan Street. Raffle - Anti: Bullying
