Wrong Library!!
In recent weeks we have had a large number of our school Library books, including home readers,
being inadvertently returned to local public libraries. Although this a simple error, this causes
additional administration work for not just our Teacher Librarians having to contact families to collect
the books, but also for our local libraries as they have had to email or ring our school quite regularly to
inform us and then kindly hold the books. Last week we had so many books returned to Chatswood
Library that we needed to collect them ourselves as they were all from different families.
Please take care to keep your child’s books in their school Library bags during the week to help avoid
any mix-ups. To identify our books, please look for our school Library barcode located in the bottom
left hand corner on the front cover.
Happy reading!

INVITATION TO ALL PARENTS AND CARERS - P&C GENERAL MEETING
Our next P&C meeting will be held on Thursday 30 May at 9.15am (after morning drop off).
This gives an opportunity for parents and carers who are unable to make our evening meetings
to attend. I know that a P&C meeting can be rather daunting for most, so I thought I would take
the opportunity to dispel some myths about P&C meetings.
P&C myths Myth 1 - If you attend a meeting you have to volunteer for something. Truth - Come along and meet some new faces. The main purpose of a P&C meeting is really to learn more about our school. It is a great way to meet other parents and discover new things about our school. Myth 2 - It is scary and everyone knows everyone else. Truth - The only way to meet people is to actually turn up to a meeting. It’s just like the first day of school for our kids, we all become friends sooner or later. Myth 3 - If you go once, you have to go to all of them. Truth - There is no pressure to attend any of our meetings. You might see something interesting on the agenda or you may want to raise something or you might just want to come and listen.
Please come and join us. Everyone is welcome! Please see the agenda attached.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THE WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS
OVER THE LAST 2 ELECTION DAY SAUSAGE SIZZLES!!
