These are two separate agendas that due to their simultaneous introduction have created much concern and debate in education circles and the community. At up and coming P&C and School council meetings I will outline the impact of the funding reforms and budget cuts on our school. As the full picture of these changes and the implications to us becomes clearer, I will keep you informed. Please be assured that we will continue to provide a full curriculum with an ongoing emphasis on the core areas of Literacy, Numeracy and the Australian Curriculum and if necessary seek alternative ways to provide the full repertoire of specialist subjects we currently offer, many of which are already provided through alternative funding sources. School arrival times It’s great to see so many kids keen to be at school each morning, unfortunately we cannot provide supervision and therefore ask that students do not arrive before 8.30 unless it is for a pre- arranged activity (such as tennis or sports practice). If this creates difficulties, please discuss w ith your child’s teacher and we will endeavour to assist you. Please remember we do have Bumblossom before/after school care available on site. Their contact number is: 9335 3001. Activity charge Thank you to everyone who has paid their activity account. This fee covers the cost of incursions and excursions that you child attends. Unfortunately the school cannot cover the cost for children to attend when this account has not been paid and they will therefore, unfortunately, be excluded for the activity. If you have difficulty paying the f ull amount in one hit please contact Sue at the office (9335 2743) to pay for the each activity as it occurs or in smaller instalments. Festival Parade Our awesome art teacher Margie Campbell has once again won us a grant from the City of Fremantle to participate in the Fremantle festival parade. There are many week-day and week- end workshops between now and the parade, it would be great to see as many of you as possible getting involved – it’s great fun. If last week ends workshop with 50 participants i s any indication, the enthusiasm is already running high. Family Workshops will be held in the Art Room on: Friday 13th September 9am, Sunday 22nd September 10am and Friday 25th October 9am. Sports carnival The playground is buzzing with chitter chatter about the up and coming faction carnival. It’s the first one in many years where we have held our own Black versus White faction challenge on the Gil Fraser reserve. Remember Mum’s and Dad’s to feed the kids pasta, wear your factions colours, and come on down to cheer, on Wednesday the 11 th September.
