Week 6 Term 3

Wow, on the second half of the term already, time is flying.
With  the number of people sick on Friday, please remember that washing hands well is a good way of stemming the spread of germs. In the light of this sickness it is important that drink bottles are taken home and washed thoroughly each night, then kept in bags rather than together on the shelf.
Wednesday afternoon is the school open afternoon for  parents and their children who will be starting school at St Gerards in 2016.
School Fair: Room 3's box in the office foyer is for bathroom items.  Good to see a few items here already. A great way to support our PTA.
Assembly: 2:10 in the hall. I don't have my planning book at home but I think it will be Room 5's turn, and I've seen photos of a fantastic ski trip at Coronet Peak last week.  Could be exciting sharing. Come and join this school community celebration.
School Mass is this Sunday: students will sit with their classes in the church and wear correct school uniform. Please be seated by 8:55am for a 9:00 start.  If your child is unable to attend please let the teacher know.
Inquiry: what action are we going to take to reduce the amount of chip packets etc in our rubbish?
