Can you believe there are only 3 weeks until the end of term? (remember it is an 11 week term again).
They are going to be a really busy three weeks for us.
Interim School Reports and Star Sample Books are going home this Friday.
Next Tuesday we have Student-Led Conferences from 12.30 (school will close at 12.00!) and in the final week of term we have our three trips planned for Orana Park.
So the students will be busy!and ready for a holiday I'm sure.

Re-opening Thursday 16 June 2011
Great news, we are re-opening tomorrow. Yippee.
Please bring boiled water for your child. It would be great if you could also please send them along with slippers or extra socks as they will be taking their shoes off to enter rooms.
There will be a mobile van in at 8.30 with $2 hot drinks for our community.
See you tomorrow
Sylvia
PS there will be no winter sport tomorrow
PSS The middle and senior school trips to Orana Park planned for next week have been re-scheduled to Week 11:)

Another update
Well, it has been a very busy day at Shirley Primary School.
Michael from DD Architects came in and did a site and building inspection. Once again, our buildings have 'passed the test.'
Thanks to Mr McKenzie and Mr Sim who spent the day shovelling silt (I did a wee bit but luckily my phone kept ringing so I had to keep stopping and then thought I was better inside!). Big thanks to Helen McLean, Tony and Zoe Turner who turned up with some shovels and a wheelbarrow, too, and to the crew from the Addington Rugby League Club - most appreciated.
As I type 4 people from the HITMEN are currently removing silt from the junior block entrance ways, office and Room 3 doorway, steam cleaning and de-contaminating the area. Mary, our cleaner from TPS, has been working, too.
We have had the plumbers and drainlayers checking the septic tanker.
In the morning we have a sweeper booked from City Care to spruce up the concrete areas as much as possible.
All of the staff will be back in sorting out their classrooms. We will also debrief as a staff as I know many of their homes have been affected again, too.
We are hoping that we will be able to re-open the following day on Thursday, 16 June. Thank you for your patience once again.
I will confirm tomorrow after speaking with the architects and the BoT.
Hopefully, we all have a good night's sleep tonight.

Post 13 June 2011
THANK YOU to our amazing staff who were so calm and super organised yesterday. The children showed amazing levels of resilience, too. What superstars. The last children were picked up by 4.30.
We got home to no power and as it was cold and dark we decided to spend the night in a motel in Woodend. Unfortunately, the fish and chip shop was out of stock so we had bananas and potato chip sandwiches for dinner, what an adventure!
Anyway, I am in at work now with some of the BOT and we are just in meetings with the engineer so will update you soon....Big thanks to Mr McKenzie and Mr Sim who are currently shovelling silt away out front!
take care
