Principal’s Report

NAIDOC week is upon us and thanks to Mrs Dunn we have a full week of activities lined up to celebrate indigenous education. Next week is Education Week which includes our Open Day on Wednesday. I am excited to announce that Ariah Park Central will receive a new Moduplay playground area in the primary playground adjacent to the existing play area. This new equipment is thanks to the P&C for their efforts to design and apply for joint funding with the Department of Education and Communities. I am very pleased with this outcome and look forward to displaying plans in the near future. I would anticipate the new area to be operational term 4. I will be available Tuesday afternoon throughout parent/teacher interviews if anyone would like to take the opportunity to drop in and discuss education or just say G’day. Take care. Justin Dunn Principal

Canteen Roster Friday 26/7/13 – G Gordon, L Harper Mon. 29/7/13 – D Worland, S Gaynor

P&C NEWS Welcome back to term 3. This term is shaping up to be a very busy and exciting one for our staff students and parents. We missed a meeting in July due to the holidays so our next meeting will be the 13th August. It will be in hospitality room on the secondary side and it will be a coffee and desert night (or tea or hot chocolate for those that don’t do coffee at that time of night). There will also be a celebration on the night regarding something that we have been working on for a while. On Saturday 3rd August we are catering at the aviation museum mess hall. This requires 6 to 8 people to help out between the hours of 9.30am and 2pm on the day. Please ring me if you may be able to help out on this day. Peter Harper Vice President

Over a series of newsletters, we will be including ‘Thank Yous’ to the businesses that kindly donated to us. All of the donations are greatly appreciated. This week’s THANK YOU is for: Ariah Park Landmark, who donated a

pocket GPS AND
