We hope you will be able to join us!

The Committee wishes to keep its records as up to date as possible, so could you please advise Lorraine Baxter, via email at lorraine.baxter@det.nsw.edu.au, if you have changed schools. If you know the name of the person who is replacing you, and/or the name of the person you have replaced could you please let us know.

    Thank you to those who have RSVPed their attendance. Just a quick note about finding Penrith PS if you are attending the PMBW TLs’ afternoon tea next Monday.

    Last time, a few TLs became lost when their GPSs took them to Westfield Penrith Plaza, several blocks away. The default address for our school sometimes comes up as “51 High Street, Penrith”, but this is not correct. (The school is not on the “odd numbers” side of the street; it seems to be a holdover from the previous address of the Infants’ Dept.)

    A more accurate address to enter in a GPS would be “240 High Street“. The school is on a corner; our cross street is Doonmore Street. Parking can be tricky in part of Doonmore, as there are “No stopping” and “Kiss and ride” zones. There may be some room in the teachers’ car park off Doonmore after our teachers have departed.
