ART SHOW This week the fabulous art work from all of our students PP-6 has been on display at our annual Art Show. I was so impressed by the work the students have produced and voting for my favourites was definitely difficult. Thank you to Mrs Parker and Mrs McInnes for the work you have done in Art this year. FATHER S FRIDAY We are pleased to say that we look forward to this continuing every Friday and look forward to seeing our dads. STAFF CARPARK Please remember that the car park is for staff only. We have noticed that people have started to use the carpark as a kiss and ride which is not permitted as it is not safe. Please do not park or come into the car park to drop off or pick up students. Staff are coming and going at all times. Denise Jeffs Principal 55 Channel Drive, Heathridge WA 6027 w -heathridgeps.wa.edu.au p - [08] 9401 8088 e - Heathridge.ps@education.wa.edu.au
