From the Principal s Desk continued... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO A very special birthday wish to Jo Stewart for her special birthday. Special as it s one that ends in zero. Jo is forever looking after everyone s needs at tuckshop and school events and is one of the most sincere and caring people I know. I hope that her birthday tomorrow is special, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you for all you do Jo. We all appreciate what you do and who you are, congratulations on your birthday milestone. PREP ENROLMENTS 2019 Please ensure that students enrolling in Prep for next year have enrolments completed as soon as possible, especially in-catchment enrolments. Out-of-catchment enrolments are being taken and placed on a waiting list. It is expected that the majority of these will be accepted, but we will have a cut off time where a waiting list will remain in place until Day 8 2019. So if you know of people wanting to come to Blair, urge them to pick up an enrolment package from the office ASAP. Birth certificates are required for enrolment. Students cannot start in Prep until a birth certificate has been presented. Peter Lund Principal
