Dear Parents and Caregivers,

REPORTS
The Term 1 Interim Reports were sent out yesterday electronically. Earlier this week you received information regarding how to access your child’s report. If you are having trouble accessing the reports, please contact the office. I noticed a concerning number of absences on many reports. If your child’s absentee percentage is below 90% there is a cause for concern. Please send your child to school everyday unless they are too unwell to attend.

HEALTHY LUNCHBOX-PLASTIC FREE
In preparation for next term’s Healthy Eating/Plastic Free initiative, please start eliminating any packaging or single use plastic from your child’s lunchbox. Next term, any waste that cannot be fed to the chooks, the worms or composted will be sent home. We aim to minimalise our landfill footprint. Please follow the Healthy Eating recommendations in the Parent Handbook.

HEADLICE
Please check your child’s hair at least once per week for head lice.

BUSY BEE
We held and amazingly successful Busy Bee last Saturday. We achieved everything and more than what I anticipated. We are only waiting on 3 raised garden beds, a garden shed, chook pen and worm farm to complete our new garden center. I would like to thank all the parents, staff and students who attended the Busy Bee. A special thanks to Dave and Jane Miller, Mitre 10, for donating the shade cloth for our temporary greenhouse and Darren and Mel John, Shell, for donating food and drinks for our exhausted workers.
