OUTSIDE SCHOOL HOURS CARE It has been a busy start to the term once again. We have been pleased to welcome some new children and their families. In term 2 we really notice how the children are more familiar with Outside School Hours Care—the staff, the other children and the routines. The Preps are now comfortable making their own way across to the hall at bell-time. We would like to remind you of the Pupil-Free day on Friday 5th June, prior to the Queen’s Birthday holiday on the Monday. Camp Australia will offer all-day care at the School, if enough children are booked in to attend on the day. Any family interested, must be registered with Camp Australia on-line. If you want your children to attend, you need to come into the hall to add your name to the “Expression of Interest’ list. Camp Australia will notify families if the service will run on the day, dependant on numbers. Thank you for reading this. Louise and Robin
