A big thank you to the parents, students

and staff who participated in the

ANZAC day march, it was wonderful to

see our School represented with so

many students in uniform on this

special day.

The School cross country is on

Thursday this week. The students who

gain a place will compete at the Broken

Hill combined carnival on Friday 11th

May.

The RTPS fete will be in term 4 this

year, I understand that the last fete

organisation involved each class

having some parent volunteers

responsible for different stalls etc.

Please consider if you would like to be

involved this year as we will soon be

asking for names. It is a huge task

organising a fete so the more help the

easier it will be.

I would like to thank the P&C and all

School Canteen volunteers for their

efforts in keeping the Canteen

operating for our School. On occasion

we have had to close the canteen

because there is no one available. This

leads me to mention the possible idea

of employing a canteen supervisor as

done in the past to maintain the

canteen for five days a week. We will

discuss and consider this item at the

next P&C meeting next week. Have a great week

RAILWAY TOWN PUBLIC SCHOOL SRC WHEEL-A-THON

Friday 4th May 2012

Railway Town Public School SRC is holding a Wheel-

A-Thon on Friday 4th May 2012 between 9.00am to

9.30am. Monies raised will be used to purchase

classroom and playground equipment. Students

are asked to bring pull along or push around

objects. Please do not bring ride on objects as this

may cause injury. A sponsorship card for donations

was sent home with each student last week.

Community Announcements

We are in the process of sourcing new jackets for winter. The cost of the previous jackets has risen quite a bit and so we have been looking at alternatives. The school will order these in and you will be able to buy direct from us rather than placing an order, I am hoping the cost will be around $25 which is half the cost of the previous jackets. The jacket is maroon with a sky blue stripe and sky blue logo. Delivery will be 8 weeks.
