Dear Parents
We managed to do all our jumps for the Inter-House Sports Day on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in spite of the recent rain.  We now hope that the rain will hold off for us to hold our track events for all pupils in Grades 3 – 7 tomorrow.  Information and details follow.

Afternoon activities have now ended as next week we will be holding interviews for our 2018 ECD and Grade 1 intake as well as holding our Parent/Teacher consultations for which all parents should have received notifications with time.  Parents wishing to speak to specialist teachers may choose times on the sheets that are on the Notice Board.

We will also be holding our Inter-House Public Speaking next Thursday at 11:00am and next Friday we will be holding our Infants Sports Day, starting at 9:00am.  Parents are invited to attend the Public Speaking, Infants Sports Day and mothers have already been advised of the Easter Bonnet competition to be held at the Infants Sports Day.

Our final event of the term will be our Eisteddfod Concert which will be held on Tuesday 4^th April.

Inter-House Sports Day
We are holding our Annual Inter-House Sports Day for all pupils in Grade 3 – 7 tomorrow, 12^th March starting at 9.00am.  All team lists are up on the notice board.  Girls should be here by 8:30am dressed in house colour T-shirts, white socks, takkies, tracksuits, hats and name badges.  They are also reminded to bring sun cream.  They should meet on the netball field with their house captains for warm-up and roll call.  Please would pupils not bring juice as this attracts bees to the tents.  Water will be provided.  Prize giving should be at approximately 12:15pm.  All parents, family and friends of Bishopslea are invited.

Please note that parents, relatives etc. are not allowed to go to the competitors’ tents during the events and are not allowed to give the competitors drinks and food until the event is over.  All girls should come to school irrespective of the weather.  If the event is to be cancelled owing to the weather, we will make the decision after 8:30am when everyone is here.
