NOTE FROM NADINE ~ OUR P&C PRESIDENT
Hello to all! Hoping that everyone has managed the rain, perhaps enjoyed jumping in some puddles, and now with sunshine, appreciating the watering of plants and vegie patches! What a wonderful assembly we had with the Infants Class - a great broadcast of up to date news, items and awards. Again an opportunity to appreciate what our children are doing, their growth and achievements. Our P&C AGM and meeting was well attended. Thank you to Jo for taking and typing up the Minutes, attached in this Newsletter. The main topic of conversation at this point in term, is the upcoming Tilba Easter Festival on Saturday 7 April. Once again, the P&C will hold a stall selling the unique and delicious chicken kebabs (a la Bronwen's traditional recipe!) as well as bacon & egg rolls. I would like to invite as many parents as able to join together as we prepare the kebabs on THURSDAY, 5 APRIL. Linda will be including a slip on which you can indicate if you are able help on the Stall. From past experience, I know that these times are lots of fun, as well as being very productive in raising funds for our school and children's activities. We look forward to a great day with our children parading, with banner still in the making, and with music items being prepared by Louise. Thank you to everyone for the big and small things we each do to make all our children's experience at Tilba positive. With good wishes to each of you for these last weeks of term, from Nadine

CREATING RESPONSIBLE CHILDREN- PARENT
WORKSHOP- (Graham Parry, B.Ed., Grad Dip.
Counselling). Parenting is hard work. It seems to be
getting harder and parents are feeling like they are fighting
their children just to get the simple things done let alone
difficult things. This talk is designed to change all that.
This is about practical and easy strategies that can be used
at home to get kids to behave for you like they do when
they visit somewhere else. Come along and bring a list of
things you would like to change and hopefully leave
empowered to go home and shift the balance back in your
favour without all the emotion. This is all about creating
responsible children. Graham’s sessions always rate very
highly with parents and take home strategies work
immediately! The workshop will be held on Monday,
March 12th, 6.30-8.30pm at Narooma, $45 ($75/couple).
For bookings phone Eurobodalla and Adult Education on
4474 9202.
