2018 Year 6 Camp
Year 6 Outdoor Education 3rd to 7th December 2018
We will be having a camp meeting on Tuesday 28th of August at 7pm for parents who are interested in volunteering their time at school camp this year. We will discuss how the camp will run for 2018 and collect documentation required for the police vetting process, which can take 6 to 8 weeks. Please bring along two forms of identification, (driver licence and passport). One form of identification must contain a photograph.
We look forward to seeing you there.

PTA News
Thank you to all the parents who helped with the Disco last Friday. Without your help it could not have happened.
The next PTA Meeting will be held on Tuesday, 21 August 2018 in the school staff room at 7:30pm. New members most welcome!
The PTA has a Facebook page called “Andersons Bay Community”. This page is for advertising school events and fundraising events. Families are also able to sell and purchase school uniforms and school sports uniforms.
Posts on this page are monitored.
Anderson's Bay School PTA are again co-ordinating Entertainment Books for our school. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to provide these books to our community and also to support the fundraising ventures of our PTA. We look forward to your support of our school in this fundraiser.
The PTA have an important role in the function and resourcing of the school. They have worked tirelessly to support many initiatives within the school, such as the environmental garden, playscape development, Discovery Friday, games in classrooms, technology purchases and the School Fair - among others.
They would like to extend an invitation to all parents to join their meetings and the organisation. They assure all prospective members not to be put off by the thought of highly demanding tasks: parents contribute only as their time and means permit and new parents are supported by current PTA members to help with events.
