STAGE TWO LEAGUE TOUCH Students will be playing at Doyalson Oval on Wednesday 6 November. Have fun! QUESTACON Year 2 to 6 will have a visit from Questacon on Thursday 28 November. The students will spend an hour looking at every day items from a science perspective. This incursion is FREE. BUSH FIRE SEASON and BRISBANIA PS The bushfire season runs from 1 October to 31 March each year. As such, it is timely to remind the community that Brisbania PS is in a bush fire prone area and is placed on the Bush Fire Register of the Department of Education (DoE). Should a catastrophic fire danger rating be issued, it is a DoE directive that the school be closed until the rating is lifted. Please be aware that the school will advise of closure via social media and the radio after 4:30pm the previous day. Staff would be required to report to the closest open school, while students are under parental supervision at home. SECURITY Our school security hotline is 1300 880 021. Please call the hotline if you see or hear anyone on the premises out of school hours. Enjoy the week Annette Parrey

Please remember us when you’re doing your Christmas shopping. REBEL SPORT All purchases at Rebel can go towards credits for our school. If you have a Rebel card please ask the store to link it to Brisbania Public School next time you buy something. You only need to link it once and then all purchases count towards credits for the school. In the past we have used credits to purchase good quality balls for the various sports teams as well as other sporting equipment. We have used credits to buy items for raffle prizes. SAVE THE DATE! Wednesday 20 November - CASEY’S VIP SHOPPING NIGHT This year, all purchases get a 10% discount, and 10% of all sales go to the school in vouchers. Wine, bubbly and snacks are provided so it’s a great way to do some Christmas shopping without having to fight the crowds! Previously we have used our vouchers to purchase resources for the Kindy classrooms, purchase games for our new library and to use as prizes for raffles. AGM Our final meeting for the year and AGM is on 19 November at 6.30pm in the staffroom. If you are a paid member please make every effort to attend the AGM so that you can vote for the new executive. Have a great week Suzanne Petrie Sapsford P&C President
