Remember this weekend we have entered a team in the Gear up Girl Bike ride, which has Libby Trickett as its ambassador. It’s a 15kn ride out at Olympic Park, or for the more adventurous a 55km ride starting at Cronulla and finishing at Olympic Park.

There is still time if you wish to enter www.gearupgirl.com.au and we have registered a South Coogee Public School Team.

If you have registered online under South Coogee Public School and would like to wear a fiesta fun run t-shirt (which has our major sponsors on it and our P&C logo) could you please contact Lisa Darke to arrange a shirt you can borrow.

Good luck and we hope to see you out there.

If you want your child to participate in school banking, please encourage them to send in their banking every Wednesday morning. If you wish to open an account for your child please pop into Bendigo Bank, Clovelly Rd, say you are at SCPS and they will give you the paperwork. If you take with you 100 points ID – needed when opening any account you will be able to do it on the spot.

The completed class lists and sub committees are now nearly completed. If you have elected to become a class representative or member of a Sub Committee you will receive a communication to confirm and an invitation to a ‘Welcome Drinks’ night.

On Friday 19^th February at the Stage 2 and 3 assembly we had a visitor from Scholastic presenting the school with a certificate, as last year we earned approximately $4996- in FREE resources for our classrooms and Library from Scholastic. During 2009, in partnership with Scholastic, SCPS earned $2510 from Book Club and $2486 from Book Fairs, so we would like to say a big Thank You to you all for supporting us.

So far with Issue #1 we have earned $500 worth of books and resources for the Library and classrooms. Congratulations to those who have supported us already with Book Club.

Also, a big thank you to Corinne Joubert (Julan S1T, Marley S2B) for covering the Stage 1&2 Scholastic books we received from Issue 1. If anyone would also like to help cover Scholastic books, please contact Julie Kemp on 9345-0083.

Scholastic is giving away over 12,000 Lucky Tickets to students who purchase from Book Clubs. These tickets will be randomly inserted into books purchased from issues 2 to 4, and will be $5, $10 and $15 vouchers that can be redeemed on any Scholastic Book Club from Issue 2 to 6, 2010, so when you purchase a book check to see if you’ve won a Lucky Golden Ticket. We have 2 winners from Issue 1 – Roshan D (S1A) and Joe E (S3S).

Issue #2 has been issued to all students and orders must be back at school by Friday 12^th March. Before handing in your order, can you please check that your child’s name and class is on the form, and the correct money in the envelope.

Thank you.
