Constable Care Puppet Show<br />
Constable Care visited us last Tuesday, 24 July.<br />
Our Kindy to Year 3 students learnt about getting to<br />
school safely while our Year 4 to 7 students learnt<br />
about being safe in today’s cyber world.<br />
RFDS Donation<br />
Thank you to the families who donated money for<br />
their children (with less than 90% attendance<br />
throughout Term 2) to participate in the rock climbing<br />
activity at the end of last term. The $162 raised has<br />
been forwarded to RFDS.<br />
National Self-Detection Program<br />
for Scoliosis<br />
Scoliosis (spinal curvature) is an important health<br />
problem for adolescent girls and 25 per thousand are<br />
at risk of developing a significant curve. Three girls<br />
per thousand require active treatment (spinal brace<br />
or surgery). Screening in the age range <strong>11</strong> to 13<br />
years is a sound preventative health measure.<br />
<strong>School</strong> screening has been abandoned but a self<br />
detection program has been introduced as a<br />
practical alternative. All Year 7 girls have received a<br />
Scoliosis Self Detection brochure with today’s<br />
newsletter and are encouraged to read and action<br />
the information. For more information visit<br />

Please note that our school server is currently being<br />
upgraded so staff have no access to computers or<br />
emails. Consequently, please do not email urgent<br />
enquiries or requests for assistance. We are hoping<br />
that this process will be completed by mid next week.<br />
Thank you for your patience during this time.<br />
Thank you to all the parents and staff who helped<br />
train our students for the Dockers’ Cup or were able<br />
to attend to support on the day. Special thanks to Mr<br />
Hutchinson, Mr Bateman, Mr Gordon, Mr Hughes,<br />
Mrs McGregor, Mr Bilsby and Mrs Cole.<br />
