Dear Parents

Kidz Can Orange Day last Friday raised  $490:00 for Children’s Cancer.

 

Our Open Day for prospective parents held yesterday afternoon was hugely supported and very encouraging as many parents with very young children came to hear about Bishopslea as well.  In fact there were many more prospective parents that we have had at an Open Day before.

 

This morning there was great excitement as not only were we breaking for Half Term but we held our Inter-House Cross Country with all pupils in Grades 3 – 7 participating and earning points for their Houses.  Our congratulations go to all of them.

 

The Afternoon Activities Timetable will change next week to accommodate House practices for Athletics.  The new timetable is included below.

 

Peterhouse Girls will be coming next Friday at 12:00pm to talk to Grade 6 and 7 pupils and interested parents in the Hall.

 

It is very encouraging that the Senior Schools want to come and talk to our pupils to encourage them to apply to their Schools.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and safe Half Term.

 

School Fees

Please note that the second instalments of school fees for those parents who opted for split payments are now due unless alternative dates for payments have been stated in the Acknowledgement of Debt Forms.

 

Cross Country Results

B team @ Sharon placed 6th

 

ECD

Our ECD class is appealing to parents who may have newspapers, kaylite trays and purity jars which they would be most grateful for.
