Landscaping of the Sandpit Area.Plans for the landscaping of the sandpit area are excitingly underway.
Within the design is a native feature garden with a perimeter of driftwood. We are looking at sourcing some driftwood from loacl beaches. If you are on a family adventure to the bench, we would love some help in gathering some. The sizes we need are approximately 1-2 metres long and a diameter of 20-30cms. If you could drop any pieces off at school (by the cricket net) before Wednesday 4th April, that would be fabulous! Sandra and Sharne, Salford School PTA 
NZ Playhouse - Red Riding Robyn Hood was enjoyed by students at Salford on Thursday 15th March.
"King George has lost the plot! In his never-ending quest to build bigger palaces, giant walls and enormous statues of himself he has raised the Land Far Far Away tax rate to 101%! Jack and Jill can’t afford to get a pail of water, Little-Bo-Peep has to sell her sheep, and even the Princess is so hungry she ate the pea. When even the bravest of Knights are too scared to stand up to him, the Land Far Far Away cries out for a hero to put a stop to the madness of the King. Luckily their cries are heard by a mysterious red hooded figure with a bow and arrow, a basket of goodies and some very unlikely ‘Big Bad’ backup." Animal Shirt Day - School Council Fundraiser

It’s the crime of the century that’s too much to bear. Bear-boy-band singing sensation Baby Bear has been kidnapped! When a ransom note is discovered asking for an unlimited supply of ‘Just Right Porridge’ all hands and paws point straight at Goldilocks.
Facing a life sentence of uncomfortable beds, chairs and cold porridge she turns to the only cool-cat capable of cracking the case, the mysterious super-sleuth in boots known to all as the ‘Pet Detective’. Goldilocks discovers that sometimes when everything seems too hard, all you need is a friendly feline and a whole lot of perseverance to make it all just purrrrrrrrrfect.

Daffidol DayCONGRATULATIONS to the Salford Community for a wonderfull fundraiser today for Daffidol Day.
While the children were at time difficult for us to identify in their "Mufti clothes" as we are so use to seeing them in their uniforms. A total of $354.20 was raised for the Cancer Society in support of the work that they do for and on behalf of others. A presentation will be made to the Cancer Society on Monday. 
SPCA "s" DISCOCONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The Disco was an absolute success last night, and without the help of you, whether you were there in the capacity of supervising, or helping your own family, or helped by organising, supplying, collecting, selling, painting, decorating, counting, or providing new ideas, etc, or simply there to look Fab and create a great vibe, I think we would all like to congratulate the Hard working Community of Salford, the Hard working House captains, and their very hard working teachers and parents and grandparents, for a great evening. The House Captains who were in charge of the disco, successfully raised $271.30 for the SPCA.
