Values Document:Bee—Sunday 6th October 1p.m until 5 p.m
School Council has decided to have a working bee on Sunday 6th October the day before
the students return to school on Monday 7th October. Hope you can come along and help.
A list of jobs and tools required was attached to the newsletter last week.
Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden
The work is really coming along at a cracking pace, the outside of the veranda is almost completed, the old vinyl flooring has been lifted, the plaster on the inside of the new wall has been completed and the plumbing and electrical work roughed in. The painter has been organised, the colours chosen for the walls, ceiling and windows. The kitchen cabinets should be installed in a couple of weeks. The front of the old building will be cleaned up, the drinking taps placed at the side of the building, the water tanks removed and as much of the old pipes etc removed. The outside area of this historic school building will also be repainted, e.g. windows, doors, finials and eaves, The garden area of this project will see the development of an Italian feel garden,
espaliered fruit trees, olive trees, herbs, tubs with lemon and lime trees, pizza oven (with
money donated from Dr. and Mrs. Hudson). Thank goodness for the creativity of Susie
who can envisage what needs to be carried out in this area.

‘Release your inner diva’ Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in
libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the
country. Now in its 20th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of
reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key
learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
