FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Preps for 2014 Over the last two terms we have been conducting numerous

tours around the school for prospective prep students for

next year. We would like to finalise numbers for 2014 as

soon as possible. The response has again been fantastic with

numbers already close to this year’s enrolments. We know

that there are still quite a few families who have not yet

enrolled. Please encourage anyone that you know who are

looking to enrol to contact the school as soon as possible

Fathers’ Day Stall

We had a very successful Fathers’ Day stall thanks to the

hard work of many of our parents. A big thank you to all

parents who assisted on the day. I’m sure there were many

very happy dads.

Election Day

Our school was again used for the elections and several hard

working parents ran a BBQ for the school. This was a great

success our school parsley was also a great seller.

Gladstone Views Movie Producers

Mrs Donaldson and I were very fortunate to judge the Grade

5/6 students movie productions. They were a credit to both

the students and their teachers.

Have a great week & Safe Holiday break… Michael West
