WORKING BEE AND JANUARY WATERING ROSTER THANKS
Back on Friday 24th January a small but hard-working group of parents came to the working bee back to school spruce up. Sincere thanks to Bronwyn Tracey with Sam and Ava, Tony Taylor and Blair Venn with Luca, for getting the grounds looking terrific in time for the start of school. We’d also like to thank the watering team who kept plants and chooks alive during the summer break: Julie Roberts, Terry Willis, Catrina Weiss, Fiona Johnston, Chris Hooper, Helen Kaptein, Leentje Dunne, Julie Roberts, Helen Weir, Jason Newton, Shera Blaise, Lisa Kearns, Paz Parry, Blair Venn, Bianca Alvarez Harris and Bronwyn Tracey.

SAUSAGE SIZZLE THANKS – WHAT A GREAT EVENING!
It was lovely seeing so many families attend our welcome back event last week. The Gaga pit had a great work out and food was all eaten – always a bonus! Thanks to everyone who came and supported this event as well as staff who were on hand cooking and organising games, and parents who brought salads to share. The delicious sausages and veggie burgers were from Cliffords, and Bakers Delight generously donated loaves of bread. Check out the photos on Facebook and Instagram.

PREP – YEAR 3 MEET AND GREET INTERVIEWS NEXT WEEK
On Thursday 27th February you will have the opportunity to meet with teachers to talk about the individual needs of your child. We have sent home a questionnaire to guide the conversation, with the expectation that this is an opportunity for parents and carers to meet the 2020 teacher or re-connect if they are continuing from 2019. Bookings to be made on XUNO, our communication platform.

YEAR 4 – YEAR 6 MEET AND GREET INTERVIEWS 5TH MARCH
Once again on Thursday 5th March you will have the opportunity to meet with teachers from Years 4-6 to talk about the individual needs of your child. Again this is an opportunity for parents and carers in the Senior Learning Community to meet the 2020 teacher and re-connect if they are continuing from 2019. A questionnaire was sent home with students in Week 1. Bookings to be made on XUNO, our communication platform.
SCHOOL COUNCIL NOMINATIONS
Nomination forms are available here or from the office for the 2020 Winters Flat School Council. There are 5 parent positions available and one DET position. This is a great way to get more involved in our school. We meet at 7:00pm on the third Monday of the month during school terms. We’d love you to join us this year.
