PTA NEWS
On the 29th May we are running the “Ambrose Golf Tournament” which will be our major fundraiser for the year and we need your help to make it a successful and fun day. All money raised will go towards school equipment to benefit our children. We already have 20 of the 40 places filled, enter now to avoid missing out. See the back page of newsletter for entry form, also available at Polwarth Design.

FITNESS & PE
The whole school is participating in a PE and fitness programme called “Jump Jam”. All children are expected to participate in this unless they have a note from home or a doctors certificate. Children are required to wear shorts and t-shirts during fitness and can put warm clothes on before returning to their classes.

ADRESSES &
PH NUMBERS
Please inform the office of any changes in phone numbers (including mobile numbers) and addresses.

BUS TRAVEL
The bus service only provides for children that regularly travel on the bus, any extra children (friends) cannot travel on the bus and you will have to make arrangements to transport them yourselves.
Also a reminder to parents that if your child is not traveling on the bus to phone the school or send a note to your child’s teacher. Often we get conflicting stories from children who say they should/not be going on the bus, because they have overheard a conversation at home which has not been finalised. This puts us in an awkward position of whether or not to send them on the bus. As you can appreciate we don’t want to send a child home, if no one is there, and we don’t like to hold a child at school only to find out that they should have been on a bus.

BIBLE
Bible on Thursday from 12—12.30pm fin the school hall for children in the senior syndicate.

HEAD LICE DETERRENT
We have been informed that 3 drops of tea tree oil added to your shampoo or conditioner (if used) is good for keeping the head lice away.

ABSENT CHILDREN
It is the parents/caregivers responsibility to contact the school if your child or children are absent from school. Phone 439 7255

SCHOOL ASSEMBLY
Parents are welcome to attend the school assembly's held fortnightly at 9am on Thursday’s in the school hall. The next assembly is May 26th.

NO JEWELLERY
The only jewellery we allow children to wear at school is stud earrings, watches and medical alert bracelets.
