Living Smart
by Moreton Bay Regional Council
Dear Parents
Would you like the chance to win an iPad while giving our school the chance to win $1000 cash for a sustainability project?
As part of their ‘Living Smart’ program the Moreton Bay Regional Council is offering families the chance to win a brand new iPad and schools the chance to win $1000 cash towards a sustainability project. This would be a great opportunity for us to install new bike racks, so we’d really appreciate your help.
All you need to do to be in with a chance to win the iPad is join the council’s free Living Smart Program. By joining the program you are also giving our school the chance to win the $1000 cash. The Living Smart program is an initiative of the Sunshine Coast Council and Moreton Bay Regional Council that aims to educate families about sustainable living. This is a great way to learn about saving energy and water (and money in the process), making more sustainable choices and leaving our planet in good shape for our children.
Besides the iPad, your family could also win a delicious hamper from Seasons of the Sun or Nutworks and our school could win a Geckoes Wildlife show.
We’d like to encourage all our families to sign up to the Living Smart program and spend an hour or two exploring the useful information available. If you don’t have access to a computer or internet at home, you can take advantage of your local libraries facilities.
If your internet is down or you don’t have reliable internet service don't let your kids miss out on ordering from our Cafe menu or purchasing tickets for special events and more.
Come on down and see us at the Cafe. We are always happy to help out and there now is computers setup, and ready to go, so you can still place that order for the day (orders must be in prior to 9am for that day), the next day, or, even up to months in advance. You can even setup a standard order that you can preset to re-occur each day, once a week or even just once a month!
Flexi schools have also just released an app for your phone, go to www.flexischools.com.au to download it for just $2.00. One of our best customers here at the school recommends as an even smarter time saver!
Bounty Bite Bakery Day - Monday the 21st May 2012 Bounty Bite Bakery Day is our special food day for Term 2. Each term that we operate a special food day and offer different lunch options that we ordinarily do not have available.
Log in at www.flexischools.com.au to see the options available or alteratively take a look at one of the flyers located in the school.
We invite you to keep up to date with the cafe. Please feel welcome to stop on by and take a stickybeak at our office window where we have displayed our menu, upcoming events and more!
Volunteers
We are always welcome new Cafe volunteers. Our volunteers are greatly appreciated and their contibution makes the great service available to the school community. The cafe is an important area of the school which you may be able to support with a few hours to contribute. Come along and meet new people in a happy and valued part of our great school. If you can volunteer please follow the link for volunteers to register your interest.
Fun Run Success

by Leann Griffith-Baker, Principal
Students from Bounty Boulevard State School enjoyed sporting success when children from Preparatory to Year Seven ran in the school fun run and cross country.
We would like to thank the many people in the school community who sponsored children to as we strive to reach our goal of $13 000 of funds raised. Children are to bring their completed sponsor forms and the correct money to the school office before Friday 11th May 2012. Money raised from this event provides prizes to students and will support the establishment of long jump pits for the school.
A special thank you to the parents and staff who volunteered to make the day such an enjoyable success. Thank you also to Miss Parmenter, Health and Physical Education teacher, who organised the exciting event today.

Walk Safely to School Day - Friday 18 May
by Joe Perkins, Deputy Principal
On Friday 18th May, the Bounty Boulevard State School community will be participating in National Walk Safely to School Day.
Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around.
Regular exercise like walking with your child not only helps them beat chronic problems like obesity, heart disease, behavioural and mental health issues and diabetes, but it also gives you a great opportunity to teach your child safe ways to behave around roads and traffic.
On the day:
1. With a parent / carer, at 8:00am meet school community members at the designated Park and Walk or Ride Spots around our community
Students from Bounty Boulevard State School enjoyed sporting success when children from Preparatory to Year Seven ran in the school fun run and cross country.
