From the Principal’s Desk

Prefects and Faction Captains’ Assembly

Congratulations to our Year 6 Prefects and Faction Captains I look forward to working with them this year and know that they will

be fantastic role models for the other students in our school.

Community Service

The prefects have already committed to sending books to the children who were disadvantaged because of the bushfires in the

southwest. A book was suggested by the principal of Harvey Primary School as this provides a means of enjoyment and

escapism for these affected students.

This is how you can support this worthwhile cause -

Buy a book suitable for a child the same age as your child/children and put it into the box in your child’s class by 24 March. For

example if you have a child in Year 3 buy a book suitable for that age group. Attach a postit note with the name of the family

donating the book. We will then put a label into the book stating the donor family and Bull Creek Primary.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Parking

For the safety of all of our children please ensure:

You drive in a clockwise direction around the school.

You park in designated parking bays only

You don’t park in No Standing zones

You park facing the correct direction

Kiss and drive

You do not get out of your car

The engine remains running

You drive forward

Do not reverse into a bay

Do not double park

Staff Car Parks are for staff only. Also children should not walk through the staff car parks.

Swimming Training

If your child has been selected to participate in swimming training in preparation for the Faction Carnival Swimming Carnival the lessons will be FREE and will be held at Definition Health Club on Wheatley Drive, Bull Creek on the 1st and 15th of March. Sessions will start at 7.00am and finish at 7:45am. Students need to be picked up after training by a parent. Any students

not being picked up after training will be escorted back to school by Mr Boyes.

Allergies

Many of our students have life threatening allergies to some foods, (eggs and nuts are the most prevalent). In order to ensure

these children have a safe environment in which to play and learn please do not send nuts, nut products or eggs to school for

your child’s lunch or morning tea.

Thank you all for the great start we have had to 2016.

Language Perfect Payment If your child has sufficient current credit - this may have rolled over from 2015 or is from payment made in 2016 - it can be allocated to ‘Language Perfect’ however the school needs your permission to allocate this credit. A quick phone call to the office or a note in the student’s diary will suffice. If you are unsure if your child does have sufficient credit please check with the Office. For those students who do not have any current credit please make the payment of $30 for Language Perfect to the classroom teacher or the Office as soon as possible.

Child and Adolescent Community Health Child and Adolescent Community Health (CACH) recently launched the ‘Parent and Family Network’, an exciting new initiative to involve parents and carers in the planning and delivery of services. The Parent and Family Network is an email network for parents and carers with children aged 0-18yrs in the Perth metro area, to provide ongoing input, ideas and feedback on our services (i.e. child health nurses, school health nurses, speech therapy, physiotherapy). All Network members will receive:

· Bi-monthly e-bulletins

· Invitations to share ideas and feedback on our services (i.e. surveys and focus groups).

· Invitations to special Network member events

Parents/carers can join by registering directly online at www.health.wa.gov.au/cachnetwork. For further information please email cachconsumernetwork@health.wa.gov.au.

P & C NEWS FLASH

MR CREMIN After assembly next week, the P&C will be hosting a small morning

tea to farewell Mr Cremin. All families are welcome to come along and

congratulate Mr Cremin on his retirement.

CANTEEN We hope everyone enjoyed our first ‘Special Lunch’ of the year

and are continuing to enjoy the Tummy Tempters. If you would like to help

out in the canteen in any way, please see Phillipa. We welcome all volunteers

and the canteen could not consistently supply our children with nutritious and

delicious meals without the help of our army of volunteers.

UNIFORM SHOP Does your child belong to the school Choir? Why not buy a

Choir Shirt? These are available from the Uniform Shop and can be worn when

the children have Choir. There are also Glee shirts available for those in the

Glee Club. The uniform shop is open on Tuesday mornings from 8.30am next

to the canteen in the new undercover area. Please note that the Uniform Shop

is cash (or cheque) only.

needed to make learning FUN! On the weekends of March 5-6, 12-13 and 19

-20 an entry coupon will appear in the Weekend West. To be in the running

to win, we must collect as many entry coupons as possible through our

friends and family. So starting next weekend, collect your coupon from the

Weekend West so we can WIN!
