Students are required to donate a gold coin to the school for the privilege of wearing the colours of their favourite football team or any other sport- ing team. At our last out of uniform day we had a number of students come out of uniform without remembering to donate the gold coin. On this day we are also having a special pie lunch. The orders for the pies are now closed so if your child has not returned the payment and order form he/she needs to bring lunch from home. As the special lunch is also part of fundraising for our school we request that parents do not bring special lunches for children from places like McDonalds on this day as this defeats the purpose of having a fundraising special lunch. Lastly of course I hope to see every- one dressed in black and white on this day!!!! PREP ENROLMENTS FOR 2016 We continue to take enrolments for our 2016 prep students. Please inform family, friends and neighbours that if they have a child starting school next year and would like them to come to our school to enrol them soon. It is important that children are enrolled by the end of Term 3 so that they can participate in our excellent transition program that commences on Friday October the 9th 2015.

SUNSMART - SCHOOL HATS A reminder the first day of term 4 marks the beginning of our SunSmart time so therefore it’s time to start wearing hats at school for all outdoor activities. It would be appreciated if parents could remind and encourage their children to wear their hats during lunchtimes, recesses and outdoor activities. Harmful UV rays can damage skin cells even on cloudy days. For further information please see our SunSmart information on our school website or visit: www.sunsmart.com.au SPECIAL ASSEMBLY We are holding a special assembly at our school on the last day of term 3, Friday September 18 th , for our School Crossing Supervisor, Mary who recently retired. The assembly will commence at 1pm in the hall and students will be dismissed at 1.15pm on this day. Mary has been a school crossing supervisor for 29 years with the Whittlesea Council and has been working at Lalor Primary for 15 years. Mary was very much a valued part of our school community and she made a point of knowing all of the student’s names and their families over the years. At the assembly we will be making a presentation to Mary on behalf of the school but any parents who would like to present something to Mary from their family please let Debra in the office know. All community members both past and present are welcome and invited to attend this assembly and don’t forget we have a card at the office for parents to sign. Mary Ryan Principal
