2 May 2017 Dear Parents, Welcome back to Term 2, I hope that all families enjoyed a relaxing holiday break. I extend a warm welcome to those families joining the Campbell Primary School community this term.

ANZAC Day Service I would like to thank the many parents, grandparents and community members who attended the ANZAC Day Service on Thursday 27 April 2017. On behalf of Campbell Primary School I would like to thank Warrant Officer Russell French who attended and shared a story that is so indicative of the ANZAC spirit. I would also like to thank Daryl Killick for his trumpet performance for the last post. I am sure that everyone will agree the service was very moving and provided an opportunity to show respect for our armed services. Thank you to all the parents who sent in flowers and assisted in making the ANZAC wreaths and sprigs of rosemary. I would also like to thank Mrs Kidd, Mrs Bosman, Mrs Horne and Mrs Coslani for coordinating this event.

School Board – Parent Nominations 2017 I thank the many parents that nominated to be on the school board. Due to the large numbers of applicants for these positions it went to a vote through the community. I welcome both Mr Neil Herbert and Ms Lina Han who have both been elected. They commence their one year tenure on the Board this term. I look forward to their contributions.

New Nature Playground Our new nature playground has now been completed. Unfortunately it will remain cordoned off for the next two weeks to allow the lawn to grow back. The children are very excited and are being very patient as they wait to access the area.

Parents are advised to contact the front office if they did not receive a copy of the year calendar at the parent information meetings held last term.
