A good notice is always to the point and leaves no scope for further  enquiries without compromising on the word limit (50 words).its language is very formal .there must be clarity in the purpose .it should contain all the necessary details such as;

1. Name of the issuing agency (school).
2.  Title, and date of issue (release of the notice).
3. Event (what?).
4. Date / time duration (when?).
5. Place /venue (where?).
6. Authorized signatory: name and signature.

I. Box the notice (i.e. put it inside a rectangle box).
ii. Inside the box, write “NOTICE”, in capitals on the top most line centred.
iii. Leave a line after this.
iv. Write a caption/heading on the next line –short and catchy.
v. Now fill in the date of issue.
vi. Start the first paragraph slightly intended (a little bit away from the margin).expand it on the heading given above..
vii. The second paragraph (optional) has to include important details of content, answering questions like what /where /when /for whom/how/the last date by which the response has to be sent, etc.
