Craazy Hair Day!

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Semester 2 Reports

We are quickly running out of days and we still have so much to do

before the end of the year. Teachers have been completing reports for

their supervisors and then for me to check. These will be ready to be

distributed on Wednesday 11th December.

Blues Dinner

I enjoyed a great evening on Friday at the Barrier Blues Dinner.

Congratulations to Boden Jackson and Max Roberts (pictured right) on

receiving recognition for their sporting results this year. The P&C

purchased raffle tickets on behalf of our PSSA representatives and were

lucky enough to win $500.00!

Grocery Housie

On Sunday, we would like to invite the Alma community to attend the

South Football Club to participate in a grocery housie to raise funds for

Julie Holmes. A cake stall will also be available. Everyone is welcome to

come along. Any donations of goods can be given to the canteen for this

event. Doors open at 1.30pm for a 2.00pm start. To book a table please

contact Belinda on 0427 918 199

Ulysses Toy Run

This will be occurring on Friday at around 11am. If you would like to

donate to this worthy cause there is a crate of new or used toys waiting

for pick up. This is always an exciting time for our students when the

motorbikes roll into the playground.

Helper’s Morning Tea

On Thursday, this week there will be a helper’s morning tea in the staff

room. An invite was sent to those parents/caregivers who have helped

out in any capacity around our school this year. The canteen will be

closed for the first break to allow our volunteers to attend this event.

We would love to see you there.

Thanking you

Sharon DeGoumois

the morning; however, the canteen will not

be open for purchases during first break so the volunteers who

offer so much of their time can attend the
