Every Friday during Terms 3 & 4 students are able to purchase a sausage for lunch. This is a fundraiser for the year 6 camp, which is held early December. The year 6 students head off to Camp Iona for a week, filled with exciting outdoor and indoor activities. The sausages are cooked by year 6 parents with the help of 4 year 6 students. It is a great way to fundraise for the camp as well as offering a tasty lunch for the school students. To order, students send along $2 in an envelope with their name and classroom number. Orders must be in by the end of each Wednesday. Many students order sausages for a whole term.
On Friday 1st September we enjoyed our annual Andy Bay Father’s Day Lunch at school. This is held closest to Fathers Day each year and the children can invite either their dad or another significant person to visit them at school. Our guests arrived with yummy lunches to share and then enjoyed viewing school work, playing games and the sharing of favourite places in the playground. Thanks to all our visitors – the children loved hosting you!
Our School Fair is this Sunday – 11 am – 2pm
Thank you to all those that have donated prizes and goods to sell. There will lots of bargains on the day.

Our Anderson's Bay performance at Stars on Stage of ‘MTV Comes to Life’ this year was amazing! Despite the projector not working on the night, our children did us proud, starting off the show with enthusiasm and energy.
DVDs are available for purchase, featuring all of the schools from the 3 nights, and an extra photo section.
DVDs are $20 and can be ordered at the office. Just send an envelope with $20 in it, with your child's name and room number on the front, and 'Stars on Stage DVD'. All orders must be in by Friday 22nd September.
All children MUST wear a helmet when riding their scooter to/from school!
We have recently enhanced our communication system for playground injuries. Either Mrs Larson or Mrs Caton will attend to your child if treatment for minor injuries is required. A brief note is given for home explaining what happened and what treatment was given. We are hopeful this will be helpful for any parental follow up that is needed. Parents will be called for more concerning injuries. Please ensure that the school office is updated with any changes to your phone details.
As you will be aware it is important that we are able to account for any child's absences from school. As part of our record keeping requirements for the government we are required to code and identify the reason for a child's absence or lateness to school. Can we ask that if your child is absent from school that you please leave a message, before 9:00 am, on our absences voicemail by calling the school office on 454 4413. In this message can you clearly state your child's name, their classroom number and the reason for their absence, it is also helpful if you can leave a contact phone number, in case we need to contact you back.
