DPS NEWS

BIBLE
An outline of the “Bible in Schools” program was sent home with all children last week. If you want your child to attend these lessons you must complete the form at the bottom of the letter and return it to their teacher or the office. If you haven’t received a form from your child, we have forms available at the office.

SCHOOL PHOTOS
These are being done on Thursday 22nd May. All children have been given their order forms, please ensure each child has their own envelope and money returned to the school office by Monday 19th May. The correct amount of money must be in the envelope as NO change will be given. (The school will not be checking envelopes these are opened on the day by the photographer.) NOTE: We will not be taking any family portraits, only photos of children currently attending the school.

DENTAL CLINIC
The difference between dried fruit and fresh fruit is the water has been removed. The natural sugar is very concentrated.
