A big thank you to all the staff and parents who were involved in the organisation and supervision of the camp and spent time away from their families to make it such a great success. Those who attended the camp were: Mrs Dyer, Mr Nicklen, Mr Patane, Mrs Macaulay, Mrs Windley, Mr Yianni, Mrs Maxwell, Mrs Beasley, Mrs Jerome and Mrs Orchard.

FOOTY DAY GOLD COIN DONATION
GOLD COIN DONATION FOR “FOOTY DAY”
This year at our Footy Day Parade, we will be raising money
for the students sports shed. To do this, we are running a
gold coin competition, in place of our traditional Coin Line.
Your child is asked to wear their team colours in support of
their footy team, for a gold coin donation.
Here’s how it will work:
Students will bring their gold coin to the morning footy
parade. There will be a student representing each football
team. They will have a clearly labelled sign with a bucket for
the gold coins. Students will place their gold coin in their
team’s coin bucket. We will then count each bucket to find
out which team raised the most money.
Items chosen for the Sports Shed will be decided upon by
the Junior School Councillors and the House Captains. This year there is NO coin line,
only a gold coin donation.
GROUNDS WORKS
Last weekend a Community Work Team completed a number of jobs in our school ground. The major ones completed were: new soft fall (mulch) was spread in all three adventure playgrounds, our sandpits were topped up and some soil was placed in the boxes around the trees in the courtyard.
PREPARING TODAY’S STUDENTS FOR TOMORROW
This week’s topic in the department’s ‘School Update’ is about ‘Healthy Eating’ and some ideas of what to pack in your child’s lunchbox. Please see the flyer included in this newsletter.
