Families who help at the working bee can play Bubble Soccer. $10 pp to enter.

Bubble Soccer kicks off at 12.30pm on the school soccer field, following the working bee 10am to 12 noon.

Family Christian Centre & Valley Rd Bus Stops

Valley Road Bus Stop
Please note that children are not allowed to get off at the #67 Valley Road stop unless an adult is there to help them across the road. If no adult is waiting, the children stay on the bus and get off at the Family Christian Centre and walk from there (if their parents have made this arrangement) otherwise they can stay on the bus and return to school.

Family Christian Centre Bus Stop
Great to see so many parents using the new stop at the Family Christian Centre carpark on Belgium Road. The Family Christian Centre is kindly allowing us to use their carpark and all they ask is that we don’t park near the church building entrance where people are working.
See map below.

Bus Route Review Meeting 2 December 2014

All bus parents are encouraged to attend. This is your opportunity to put forward your viewpoints and requirements and hear from others in deciding the 2015 bus route.
