For Your Information
Fun Run Volunteers Required
We have a few opportunities coming up this term where we would like to invite our parents and grandparents - all of our wonderful volunteers who have missed volunteering at our school this past term. Our CEC (Community Event Committee) run lots of activities and fundraising events at our school. We are very excited to be planning to go ahead with a favourite annual school event - our Fun Run. This is scheduled to go ahead on Friday, 18th of September. We would like to invite our wonderful volunteers that would be interested in assisting on the day to register their interest with our Front Office. We will make sure that all volunteer information (Working with Children Checks etc) are up to date. This event can't go ahead without the help of our parents and grandparents, so if you are able to assist, please call the Front Office or come and visit in person by the end of Week 2, Friday July 31st, so we can pass your details onto our CEC leader.
Preservice Teacher at PPN
We would like to welcome another Preservice Teacher to our school community. Ms Caitlin Smith, from Avondale College, is working alongside Mrs McGrath in Year 1B. We would like to wish Caitlin a memorable learning experience with us as she completes her school placement at PPN over the next few weeks.

Parking Around The School
1. Parking out the front of the school-
We are noticing a lot of parents parking in the front area of the school, walking to the single gate and dropping off, only to return to the car minutes later and reversing out into traffic. We understand the convenience but parking here and reversing out is stopping the flow of traffic from the drive through zone. We are asking that if you are walking your child onto our school grounds or collecting them in the afternoons, we would prefer you use the back car park.
2. Keeping the car park entrance clear
As mentioned in a hand out last week, it is very important that you please do not park in the entrance to the back car park. If the drive through line is full, please wait with your left indicator flashing while on Nelson Road. When the line starts to move, then feel free to move into the drive through zone but please don't block the car park entrance.
3. Turning left only out of car parks and drive through
In peak times, when families wait and try to turn right onto Wright Road from the drive through, it again, slows the whole drive through down- often to a complete stop. We are asking kindly that you turn left only out the drive through onto Wright Road.
4. Side gate reopened!
We have cleared the temporary storage near the Front Office and are happy to open this walkway again to allow an alternative entrance, rather than going through the Front Office.
Please remember the current restrictions still in place (No adults entering classrooms unless you sign on in the Front Office).
We hope to continue to develop the parking around the school so it runs as smoothly as possible.
