Father’s Day Stall & Breakfast

Many thanks again to our Parents and Friends for organising and running the Father’s Day Breakfast and Stall. Students love to see their parents involved in activities at school. Please see the message below from our Parents and Friend Coordinator Julie.

To celebrate Father’s Day we invite all our awesome Dad’s, to breakfast on Friday 30 August in the school hall. Our lovely mum’s will provide hot and cold drinks, egg and bacon rolls and other breakfast treats for the Dad’s & kids to enjoy together.

Children will have the opportunity to visit the stall during school hours on Friday 30th August to purchase a gift for their dad, grandfather or special someone.  Where possible we will try to ensure siblings can choose gifts together. All gifts will be $5 each. 

Hard copy information was sent home to eldest in the family and needs to be returned to school  by Monday 26 August.

Costumes

Thanks to Trish O’Gorman and Maree Hills for sourcing and organising many of the costumes for our performance. We have tried to make costumes fairly easy for parents  and have most items covered. We are asking parents source the following items for their child. Of course if you are able to borrow or find items second hand that would be great. If not we have located where you may be able to purchase items at a reasonable price.  Could these items please be sourced by the end of week 8 - Friday 6 September. Please let your child’s teacher know if you have any queries regarding costumes. Thanking you in advance for your support.

Year 5 Parent Helpers Needed-Year 6 Graduation

Last Thursday we had only one year 5 parent attend the graduation meeting. Traditionally our year 5 parents have supported the year 6 graduation by organising, serving and cleaning up after the family dinner. It would be a shame for this tradition to not go ahead this year. No previous experience necessary, we just need some volunteers to support making this a special night for our year 6 students and their families. 

We will be holding another meeting on Thursday 22 August at 3:40pm in the learning hub, hope to see you there. Many hands make light work.

Footy Day

Footy day will be held on Tuesday 10 September.  The canteen will have a special menu available for ordering online.  More information to come.
