Dinner. Please return RSVP’s

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We have reached the half-way mark of the term and I’m sorry to say it will
be a very busy end to the year. Please refer to the updates that are
included in the newsletter to help you keep on top of what is happening. If
you are unsure of any imminent dates, please ring the office for
clarification.
Swimming School
This week is the final session of swimming school and I believe the children
have been working extremely hard with their instructors. Can I recommend
that if possible parents could enrol their children into further lessons
through the YMCA Aquatic Centre. It is a valuable skill to have and could
save the child’s life in the case of a water emergency.
Sympathies
Alma’s staff, community and students offer our sympathies to Mrs Hinchey
and her family on the passing of her father last week.
Return of Books
We ask that all students return their library books this week so that Mrs
Blore can do a stocktake of the library over the next few weeks. You may
need to check under the bed or in the wardrobe. Mrs Blore will send out
reminders of books that have been borrowed that haven’t been returned.
This is a big job and I ask for your help in returning the books.
Ulysses Toy Run
We have collected some toys for the Toy Run that will happen next Friday.
It is not too late to donate new or used toys for less fortunate students.
The container is in the office.
Kindy Orientations
Kindy Orientations have been very successful with most students coming in
to school to familiarise themselves with their new school for 2020.
We have another 2 sessions to go. Please see below for details.
Leaving Alma
Reminder… If your child is not going to be with us in 2020 (other than
Year 6 students), could you please ring the office and let the ladies know
the changes which will assist us with our staffing for 2020.
Thanking You
