2 Easter Raffle This afternoon at assembly, we will draw the lucky winner of the Easter raffle. Mr Grant Gardiner from O Brien Real Estate who donated the $1,000 Travel Voucher will draw the lucky winner with all monies raised going to the Royal Children s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. On behalf of the whole WASPS community, we thank Grant for his continued support of our school. Pyjama Day Our Student Representative Council have organised a pyjama day today to raise funds for the Royal Children s Hospital. It is great to see all the students and staff getting behind the appeal, dressing up in their PJ s and supporting such a great cause. Well done to our SRC for organising such a fun event to support the Children s Hospital. Parking in the Staff Carpark Another friendly reminder that parents are not to use the staff carpark as a pick up or drop off point for children. The staff carpark is out of bounds with cars and delivery vans coming and going at all times of the day. In the interests of the safety of our children please do not park in the staff carpark. We also ask that all children enter and exit school via the front gate as the carparks (Staff and Hive) are out of bounds for safety reasons. House Cross Country Our school House Cross Country will be held on Friday 20 th April from 11.30p.m p.m. at school. It has been great to see so many children training at lunchtimes in preparation for the Cross Country. This year the event will be held around our school oval, which will mean that we can see and cheer on the students at all times.
