4 You Can Do It! WCSESC e-bulletin

5 RELOCATION UPDATE As we near the end of Week 29 of the building project at Warwick, there is no further development to the external façade and surroundings of our building, as work continues internally. For that reason, there are no photos in this week s e-bulletin. However, admin staff have the opportunity to walk round the site on Monday at which update photos will be taken then for parent s perusal. These photos will be included in next week s e-bulletin. DON T FORGET TO FIND US ON FACEBOOK! If you would like to be part of this parent Facebook group, it is very easy to join. Search for West Coast Secondary Education Support Centre and click on the Request to Join button. If you are recognised as a parent of the school, your request will be accepted by the WCSESC administrator. The Facebook Page is a quick and easy way to keep abreast of school news, especially in respect of our forthcoming relocation. As well as communicating updates, we post photographs following events and excursions that take place during the year on our Facebook Page. We are aware that parents don t get the opportunity to see many of these photos so we hope to change that going forward. Please be aware that WCSESC does not directly recommend any of the events / services advertised in this e-bulletin. Inclusion of the event and service information is for parental perusal and consideration only.
