This week we welcomed Rachelle Roberts to the school. Rachelle is a Primary Maths Specialist based at Inverloch PS and will be coaching Mr Tyson each week. Rachelle will also be auditing, sorting and ordering essential maths equipment to support teaching and learning in both grades.

HEADLICE We have recently had some cases of head lice at school. A reminder for parents to please ensure that you check your child/ren's hair regularly and treat if necessary. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated by everyone.

WOOLWORTHS EARN & LEARN Our school is once again involved in the Woolworths Earn & Learn program. Through this program we will be able to get new educational resources for our school. Simply collect your stickers from Woolworths. For every $10 spent you will receive 1 sticker. We have a box setup at the Wonthaggi Woolworths Store with our school name on it for everyone to drop their stickers into, or you can pop them in the box located in the office. Remember the more stickers we collect the more items we can purchase for our school. Don't forget to remind grandparents and friends to collect their stickers also! Attached to the newsletter you will find a Sticker Sheet.

LOST PROPERTY There continues to be many jumpers left in classrooms and in the playground. Unfortunately most do not have names and therefore cannot be returned to their owner. Younger students are not able to identify their jumper especially since there are many that look the same. Could you please name all of your child's jumpers and encourage them to be responsible for looking after their own things. Placing their jumper in their bag as soon as they take it off is a good idea. Starting next week all lost property will be hung up on the pegs outside the middle door. Please do not place clothes here that your child has grown out of, rather hand them onto someone directly. There will no longer be a box to store spare clothes or hand me downs. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of time spent trying to locate the owners of jumpers and ensure all students have warm and dry clothing as winter approaches. Beginning on 13th May to 17th May spare clothes that have accumulated will be on display in the multipurpose room. Please have a look and take what is yours or anything that may be suitable for your child/ren.

Mothers Day Stall

We will be having our Mothers Day Stall next Thursday 9th May. Gifts will range in price from $1.00--$5.00. Children just need to bring along their money on the day to buy a special gift for mum, nanna or someone special. If parents would like to send the money to school prior to the stall day, please place it in an envelope with your child's name on it. Our kids get a big thrill out of buying a special gift.
