Dear Parents and Guardians,

By all accounts today’s Pre-primary assembly was just fabulous! Sincere thanks to Kellie, Riana, Justine and Julie for having the children in top form, ready to give of their best. To the many students who received Merit Awards, congratulations and thank you. Your work, attitude, and the importance which you attach to making Jesus real in your daily lives enriches our entire community.

Thanks so much to Holly Butson and the parents and Library Monitors who assisted her in making our Scholastic Book Fair so successful. It has been huge!

A great week ahead next week - P&F and SAC meetings are in the staff room on Tuesday, National Simultaneous Storytelling event on Wednesday, GRIP Leadership conference for Student Leaders as well as the Mums’ night out on Thursday, and the Year Five Class Mass on Friday. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend

Mark

Children are still coming back to school too soon after having had Gastro.

If your child has gastro, keep them away from school for 48 hours after vomiting and diarrhoea have stopped.

The easiest way to prevent gastro is to wash hands regularly, especially before eating and after going to the toilet.

For more information go to http://www.public.health.wa.gov.au/2/597/2/gastroenteritis.pm

Please include your child's NAME, CLASS (e.g. 5C, 6D) and REASON FOR ABSENCE in the email. admin@hrs.wa.edu.au

You can also submit an Absentee form by clicking on the 'Families' tab on our website https://www.hrs.wa.edu.au/
