For Your Information
ICAS and AMC results
Thank you students and parents for your patience as we have been waiting for all the ICAS and AMC certificates to be delivered to the school.
I am now only waiting for the AMC certificates, so we are hoping to give these out to your children next week in the Thursday Chapel program (Year 3-6). The plastic sleeves containing the certificates, also include the results page for each subject and how they competed compared to other children that sat the competitions. We have performed very well as a whole school, more about that in a later newsletter.
Those students that receive a Distinction or a High Distinction, will receive photocopies of their certificates next week and their proper certificate will be given out later in the year. Parents, please look out for these certificates next Thursday, the 12th of November.
Congratulations to all participants on your efforts in these exams.

PE Week 2020
Next week, PPN will be celebrating ‘PE Week’. It’s a great opportunity to promote the importance of physical activity and the benefits it provides to our overall health and wellbeing. Please send some healthy fruit or vegetables for students to eat as ‘Brain Food’ or their recess snack. PE uniform will only need to be worn on your child’s normal PE day. Some of the planned activities include:
F-2: Multisport program with a focus on Tee ball (run by Kelly Sports) and lunchtime activities coordinated by our upper primary students.
Year 3-4: Cricket program (run by Kelly Sports) and lunchtime activities coordinated by PPN staff.
Year 5-6: Table tennis program (run by Table Tennis Australia) and lunchtime activities coordinated by PPN staff.
There will also be a few challenges for our PPN staff to stay active as well. ‘PE Week’ is also a great opportunity to encourage your children to be active at home.

Full-time bus fees per term: $296 per child. Part-time bus fees per term: $199 per child (part-time is one way, either to school each day or from school each day)
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, please use the back car park.
2. Keeping the car park entrance clear
As mentioned in a hand out, 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.
