We have a number of students who have life threatening anaphylactic allergic reactions to all nuts and peanut products. We would like to encourage families not to send these products to school with their children. These include peanut butter, nutella, sesame seeds, loose nuts, muesli, nut or chocolate bars or any products containing any type of nuts. We also encourage children NOT to share food at school.

Whilst Ms Lyons is on leave, Miss Tongue will be teaching 1L and Mrs Clinton will be teaching 3/4C for the next two weeks (until June 7). Interviews for the Principal position are on Thursday, so we will know the outcome very soon. World’s Greatest Shave Congratulations EPS, you raised $1321.80 to support the Leukaemia Foundation during our World’s Greatest Shave initiative last term. A superb effort! Jewellery at School We have had a number of students recently wearing a variety of piercings to school. Whilst we acknowledge a student’s choice (with parent permission) to have piercings, we have a duty of care to ensure that all students are safe at our school. Only studs and sleepers are considered “safe” options. The longer “spacer” type earrings are a potential danger not only to the wearer, but to other students during physical activity. Any piercings with elongated ends or sharp ends are not to be worn to school as they are potentially unsafe. We respectfully request that you assist us in this matter. We would like to avoid having to ask students to remove unsafe piercings. Regional NAIDOC Ceremony The National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) and the Australian Government are encouraging communities across the country to embrace the theme of NAIDOC Week 2013 – “We value the vision: Yirrkala Bark Petitions 1963”. This year the Hunter Central Coast Regional NAIDOC Week Ceremony will be held in the Theatre at the Hunter School of the Performing Arts, 109 Lambton Rd, Broadmeadow on Tuesday 18th June 2013 commencing at 9.00 am. Guests are most welcome to stay for morning tea. NAIDOC Week provides an opportunity for all Australians to join together to recognise the valuable contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have made to this country. As this day is an important occasion I would like to encourage as many students, parents and carers as possible to join with us in this special celebration. If you would like to attend and celebrate the Department of Education and Communities Hunter Central Coast Region’s NAIDOC Week ceremony, please indicate your intention to attend via the school front office by Thursday June 13 on 4958 1831. Students will require private transport to attend this event. Have a wonderful week everyone and remember –
