Dear Parents and Community Members
Excitement Mounts
Arrangements for our “Matilda the Musical” excursion are complete. The children are very excited.
Mrs Edwards and I will be accompanying the children and are also very excited.
Last Friday, we began watching the film in preparation for the stage production. Thank goodness,
Tayla was keeping an eye on the time as I became completely engrossed and had not noticed the time
passing.
While we are delighted to have parents accompanying us and are grateful for your assistance, please
be aware that we are directly responsible for the children and they must follow our instructions.
Please do not take your child away from the group unless absolutely necessary and definitely not
without first speaking to a teacher.
Uniform
All children must be in school uniform with closed shoes and socks. It is probably a good idea to bring
a jumper for the bus as the air conditioning may be cool. Hats will be taken from school.
Bring
Small backpack
Quiet games
Morning tea in disposable container.
Lunch in disposable container
Healthy snacks – non messy fruit, cheese and crackers, yoghurt all in disposable containers.
Water – no soft drinks, cordials, juices
Please DO NOT send lollies, chips etc as they may cause stomach upsets on the bus! Yuk!
Please DO NOT send money for souvenirs, icecreams. Children will be kept together at all times and
not have an opportunity to spend it.
Evening Meal
We will be stopping at the Cunderdin Pub for dinner. Hopefully, everyone has returned their order
form to school. Today, Tuesday, was the last day for orders.

Visitors at our school. Tuesday 7th March 2017.
Mother Nature is just so incredible. Why do these caterpillars/spitfires join up and follow in a line?
What happens if the line is broken? Where’s Patrick when we need him?
