SCHOOL DONATIONS

- $25 a child or $50 a family amenity donation (suggested)

- $12 a child photocopying/paper donation (suggested) Richmond School has always had the policy of keeping our suggested donations at a reasonable amount. This means most families pay these so we can provide all the many ‘extras’ around the school. We are fortunate to be able to provide them due to the annual donations as well as the outstanding fundraising efforts of our Parent-Teacher Committee. Until we changed to purchasing stationery online at the start of the year donations tended to be paid at the same time as the children’s stationery in February. So we need to seek the donations in another way. A number of parents have asked about when and how they pay the school donations. So to assist this I have attached a tear-off slip on the newsletter so parents can pay the voluntary donations at the school office. Many thanks for your wonderful support.

MIDDLE SYNDICATE FUN DAY

Yesterday was fun day. We had a lot of things like

computer suite, sandpit, water slide and sponge

throw. We did lots of other stuff. The water slide

and sponge throw was my favourite because we

got to throw sponge at people and it was very

funny. We did it with groups of 7 but not until after

morning tea.

We went to the pool for 20 minutes then we went

to the hall for 20 minutes. For Discovery Time we

were allowed to go in different classes. The

classes were Room 9, Room 8, Room 7, Room 10,

Room 11. I went to every class but my favourite

part was rock painting and playing with the car in

Room 7. We also did a scavenger hunt. We had to

around the school and look for the answers. Then

we could ride scooters and roller skates. I had a

MGP. We went up ramps. We didn’t have work for

the whole day.
