Principal’s Report SPRING FAIR It takes some time to pay all the bills and get all the money in from Silent Auction, but it is great to report that

we have once again topped the $30,000 mark for Spring Fair profit. A fantastic result for our school com-

munity! Please remember to get online and complete the survey on Survey Monkey… Spring Fair Online Survey - Open till Sunday 10th November Just a reminder that our online survey for the Warranwood Primary School Spring Fair 2013 is still open for feedback from anyone who attended or was involved in our Fair. Thank you to those who have responded to date. We will provide an excerpt of feedback received in our final Spring Fair newsletter coming soon. Please feel free to share your thoughts on our Spring Fair via the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YFHF3DN

SCHOOL UNIFORM The new uniform will be available from 25 November from PSW at 18-20 Railway Avenue Ringwood East. Orders can be placed from this coming Monday, as sizing is consistent across all schools. All orders placed before 20 December will receive a 5% discount. Price list and shop information is included in this newsletter. Please re-member that as of 2014, either the new or old school uniform can be worn, however a combination of both will not be acceptable.

2013 School finishes 6 weeks from tomorrow!! There is an enormous amount still to happen before the end of term, so we have included the major items in the What’s On? dates above. If you need to check dates, you can use our website calendar, which is now being kept up to date!

CLASS OF 2014 #1 We had our first Prep transition session this afternoon. Great to see those new faces! Next year we will return to 3 Prep classes. Don’t forget our whole school transition session on the afternoon of Tues-day 10 December, when all students will find out their class, room and teacher for 2014 CLASS OF 2014 #2 We know of a couple of families who are leaving the school, as well as some new families arriving. If you are moving or leaving and haven’t let us know can you please do so ASAP to enable us to plan effectively for 2014.

Health Centre All medication to be given at school is required to be in the original packaging, a medication form (from health centre or office) to be completed with name of child, grade, dose, time and signature of parent or guardian. Thanks as always Gay Brown

Library To all school families, just a friendly reminder that all school library books are due back on 01/12/2013. This enables the annual stocktake. There is no further borrowing after this date until the new school year 2014. If any students have problems locating books I am happy to do a Library Shelf check. The Library is open be-fore and after school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. With Thanks Kim Barlow
