" UNIFORM MEETING
Next Friday, Nov.28 we will have our proposed new uniform on show. We will be having a meeting at 3.00pm Dec. 4th. If anyone can't make it they are welcome to discuss any concerns before that day.

FIRST COMMUNION: On Sunday November 23rd, 6 of our children will be making their First Holy Communion. This is an important event in the lives of these children and their families and is an occasion to be celebrated by our whole school community. This is the only time this year that we have expected children to come together as a school during the weekend. Mass starts at 10.00am, so children need to be there around 9.50am. We would like senior children to sit together as they will be doing he singing. Juniors can sit with their parents. It is expected that ALL children who have not brought a note to school excusing them. WILL BE THERE.

FOOD: PARENTS PLEASE READ There are still a lot of children starting their day with pies, chips or fried chicken for breakfast. Many of these children have chippies, twisties etc for morning tea and then much the same for lunch.

HOMEWORK CENTRE: The homework centre will be closing on Thursday December 4, and starting again in week 3 of term 1. We will be asking children to re-enroll at the beginning of next year. There will be a family picnic on the evening Thursday 4 from about 4.30 onwards. A reminder will be sent out closer to the time.

ACTIVITY FEES: There are some families who have still not paid Activity Fees. Could these be paid up before the end of the year. An idea has been put forward that if the school community could organize a big fundraising event at the beginning of the year, we would not have to charge activity fees. We will be putting together a group to look at this at the beginning of next year.

E.O.T.C. WEEK: All children will be taking part in E.O.T.C. week from Monday, December 8 to Friday 12th. There will be a charge involved with this but we will try to keep it as small as possible. A timetable for this will be put out next week.

LUCKY BOOK CLUB: All orders to be in by December 3rd.
