Dear Parents
We have come to the end of our Exam Week and commend all our Grade 3-7 pupils for their efforts.  Normal afternoon activities will resume from Monday with the new Afternoon Activities Timetable incorporating House-swimming practises, continuing.

We held our New Parents Meeting on Wednesday afternoon.  It was such a pleasure welcoming and meeting our new parents whose children will be joining Bishopslea next year.

We have two major events next week.  Firstly, our ECD, Grade 1 and 2 classes will be performing their end of year production of ‘Noah’s Ark’.  They will be performing for the school on Tuesday morning and for parents, family and friends on Wednesday evening at 6:00pm.  They have all been working very hard on their performance, which looks to be most entertaining.

Next Saturday, 4th November, we will be holding our Inter-House Swimming Gala.  All pupils in Grade 3 – 7 who can swim a length will be in at least two events.  The Gala will start at 8:30am and should end by 12:45pm, after which the PTA will be selling food.

Please would parents inform the office, in writing, if any pupil who has been included in events will not be able to attend.

Our Grade 7’s will be going on their camp to Tree of Life next Wednesday, returning next Friday.  We wish them a most enjoyable camp.

Our Tennis Teams have been very busy over the past week.  They are playing very skilful and entertaining tennis.  We congratulate them all.  Results follow.
