National Family Reading Month SPECIAL THANKS We would like to thank the Marshall family for their donation of a range of sporting equipment including the soccer nets which the students have been using continuously since they have been put up. KALAMUNDA SHOW The P&C are running a food stall at the Kalamunda Show on Friday and Saturday. A large number of people have volunteered their time and it is another wonderful example of our very active P&Cs fundraising efforts, all of which go to supporting the school and your children. STAYING HEALTHY As winter approaches we have included a link to the Department of Health which has some timely advice on Staying Healthy in Winter. To reduce the risk of viruses spreading, it is important to keep your child home from school if they are ill or showing symptoms of being ill. STAYING SAFE ONLINE Information regarding age recommendations provided for social media apps can be found on the following link by Safe on Social Media.

Our thanks to Richard Guthrie, the Junior Development Officer, who coordinated these clinics as well as the other coaches who helped to run them. Smart Start Banking Program On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, the Smart Start banking team from the Commonwealth Bank have been running some sessions around teaching students about financial literacy. They have been helping students with developing strategies that assist them in planning how to save money. A reminder too, that the P & C run school banking before school every Wednesday morning in the Undercover Area outside the staff room. This is a great way for students to develop good saving habits from a young age. Easter Hat Parade There were some fantastic hats on display at our annual Easter Hat Parade held before the Easter Long Weekend. Lots of students, parents and teachers went to a great deal of effort with the designs and decorations and they looked great as they paraded around. There were also lots of lucky winners in the P & C Easter Raffle Draw. Well done to everyone and thanks to the P & C for organising all the prizes and Easter eggs. A BN
