From the Galilee P & F

Galilee Walk-a-Thon

On Monday 21st June (Week 10), we will hold a Galilee School Walkathon down at Bondi Beach from 9am – 10.30am. The children will walk to and from the beach as a class with their teacher and with (hopefully) some parents and then walk along the promenade.

• Children in years K-2 will walk approximately 3km altogether.
• Children in years 3-6 will walk approximately 4km altogether.

This week, the children will take home their sponsorship form for the walkathon. You can ask friends, relations and neighbours to sponsor your child, if you wish. It would be wonderful if each child could aim to raise $30 - $50 but any amount (small or large!) is welcome. We are fundraising to purchase new colourful, portable outdoor furniture for the school.

On the day, children are welcome to wear brightly/multi-coloured clothing to school. There will be prizes given for the child(ren) who raise the most money as well as prizes for brightest dressed.

We would love for parents from each class to volunteer their time on the day – either to walk with the children or to hand out drinks of water and fruit slices down by the beach. If you can volunteer, please fill in your name on the volunteer timetable (please note that volunteers must have done their SCS training)

There will be coffee/tea and morning tea for all parent volunteers organised by our lovely family educator, Laura Neeson, back at school at 10.30am after the walkathon – come along for a chat and to meet other parents and families!

Any questions, contact Emily Ballinger (0410 799619 or emily.jane.ballinger@gmail.com)

Thanks, everyone!
