We are having an eventful week with lots of things happening. Our new bike rack is getting some use. If your child wants to ride their bike to school they need principal permission as there are guidelines. Today Picasso cow was transported down the road to the Door of Hope for a learning celebration. P-1J and 5-6BA buddy classes are involved. Photos to come.

Mr Atkins said what stars we had at the Primary Triathlon event at the Bluff, Devonport. The weather was blustery and even hailed at one stage but still everyone had a great time. Well done Glen Dhu.

Hi everyone. We are desperate for canteen helpers on a Friday. There is no cooking or food prep involved. You only need to open up and supervise the grade 6 leaders doing the selling. 1/2 an hour at recess and 1/2 at lunch is all that's required. If you are able to help be either recess or lunch or both. Either ring Marjan in the office or message us. Thanks.

Glen Dhu is open as normal tomorrow.
