Surf School begins today...
Classes 6, 7 & 8 are off to Sawtell today for the first of six surf lessons... and they couldn't have asked for a nicer day! On the back of 13 staff members acquiring their still water bronze yesterday afternoon at the Bellingen Pool, water safety is again first and foremost in our minds at Chrysalis!
We hope you all enjoy this beautiful weather we are having, safely...

Let's all get involved to Clean up Thora!...
Families are encouraged to get involved in the Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday 7th March at the Thora Community Clean Up event. Anyone who would like to participate in a clean up activity please register online so you are covered by Liability Insurance and save time on the day. You can also register for an event closer to where you live. Have a look for other locations here.

Reminder: School fees due next Friday...
Invoices for Term 1 fees were sent out last week, with payment due in full by next Friday 19th February unless arrangements have been made to pay by instalments. The forms are available on our website or by calling the front office. A reminder that the school has Fee Payment Incentives to encourage and reward timely payments. If you have any questions regarding your recent invoice or statement, please email accounts@chrysalis.nsw.edu.au.

Student Residential Address Collection...
We wish to advise parents of our requirements to provide the Federal Government with parent address details for the purposes of determining school funding. This will commence next week. Please ensure that the school has your up-to-date family details. This is a prime opportunity to update any emergency contact details with the school also. Please call the office.
The school is required to provide the department with the following information about each student at the school:
• Names and residential addresses of students’ parent(s) and/or guardian(s)
• Student residential address (excluding student names)
• Whether the student is a primary or secondary student (education level)
• Whether the student is boarding or a day student (boarding status).
The department has provided information for parents which can be found on the school website.
