Two more days of freedom, for the kids, and insanity for us parents and then we are back to it.

Hands up who is looking forward to it 🖐

As much as I love my kid, I'm ready for the holidays to be over. But only because I love working with the little monsters, no matter how loud and crazy they (we) get. Those who have seen me teach at Hilton Brown know this to be true.

I hope you are all ready. Jumpers and jackets all cleaned and aired. Those forgotten lunches hosed out of the bottom of the school bag, and the togs ready for swimming. Yup, I said swimming. Junior swimming lessons start in bout 6 weeks on Monday September 4th. The week after the cross country.

It's going to be a busy term for everyone, so get your rest this weekend and be ready to roar into it next Monday.

And I hope you've all booked your parent teacher meetings. They are the second week of term.

We are also still accepting donations for our fundraiser event in September.

Why is honey so expensive?

Sonia from Parkvale

It seems to be so expensive at the moment. The cheapest I could find for 500g was $10. I'm pretty sure not that long ago it was half that. Is there a reason, or am I remembering wrong?

Hi all,

Woke up at 5am this morning, to see my son's work vehicle, parked right outside our bedroom window, has been broken into. Various tools stolen. Please be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell the following items:

Stihl TS 500 Concrete Saw (orange and white) with an orange 8mm thick blade with the trolley (also orange and white);
AEG Drill and Impact Driver Set in the box;
Jack Hammer;
Angle Grinder.

Feel sick to the pit of my stomach about this for the cost implications of the missing tools, damage to the work van as well as implications to the job due to the loss of the tools.

Thank you guys.

Technology and Kids

Kids using technology is becoming an unavoidable part of modern life. A good compromise is to encourage your child to lie on their tummy when using a device. This simple solution helps prevent posture problems as it takes pressure off your child’s back muscles and nerves.
