To all parents...

Go and vote today and then pop into your nearest Wimpy... you will get a free cup of coffee.

Welcome back

The second term has started again today... welcome back to all pupils and teachers... hope you all had a good holiday and are ready to tackle a new term.

There were a couple of fairies busy around the school grounds while the rest of us were on holiday... there is new paving around the front gate area (where it always floods and turns to mud) as well as extended around the tree by the concrete table in the waiting area for parents. All I can say as a parent is... THANK YOU.... this will definately make our lives a bit easier (and less muddy!).

Don't forget the AGM coming up next week.

PUBLIC HOLIDAY

***Please note***

Wednesday 22 April is a public holiday due to the voting. School will be continue as normal on the Monday 20, Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Friday 24.

Easter Eggs for Baragwanath Hospital

Today was the day that our school handed over all the Easter Eggs that we've been collecting over the past few weeks to the Chris Hani Baraganath Hospital. Our target was 3000 eggs, one for each bed, but we got even more... we got 3600 eggs! Congratulations to all involved.

And this is what 3600 eggs looks like all piled together:

Our Easter Service in Photos

What an AWESOME and AMAZING God we serve. To hear angelic voices of our children singing praises to God just about brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure God and all the heavenly hosts were rejoicing tonight too. Here's just a few snapshots from the service:

Grade 0's praising God for giving us Jesus

A wonderful rendition of scription by the Grade 3's

Awesome dancing praising God

Singing along with the young team from Northcliff Union as well as hearing the children sing.

(Mr Norel was giving a few advice tips he wasn't singing!)

The lovely eats provided by the PTA... thanks soooooooo much

The children also got easter eggs and juice. Thanks to all involved for making it such a beautiful evening, and thank you too to all the parents who attended and filled the church... was really lovely to see everyone there.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Annual General Meeting will take place on Monday 20 April in the school hall at 19:00. Should you wish to address a certain topic, please submit written notification to the School Office by Wednesday 15 April 2009.

Kitchen upgrade

Have you seen the smart new kitchen.... wow the PTA really has gone all out and given the teachers and staff a fantastic kitchen now. It's all done and fully functional.

Did you notice all the little touches? Tea, coffee, sugar pots, green dishtowels, the microwave, a place for the photocopier plus a work surface to sort stuff out on, baskets to put goodies into, cupboards full of glasses and mugs, little green plants here and there. Such nice springy feeling.
