From the Office

Old Orchard Primary School are supporting Anglicare Victoria with their FoodBoost campaign this winter.  By collecting donations of non perishable food items, we are hoping to help take hunger off the table of people and families who are struggling to survive as the cost of living continues to skyrocket.  

Our donations will help stock up Anglicare Victoria's pantries and keep their food vans full and on the road, so they can help hungry people through the toughest times.

The most needed items are listed below.  If you are able to help please bring your donation/s to the boxes located near the front office.

Hats Are Back!

From 2nd September hats are required to be worn by all students when outside.  Students without a hat from this day will need to be in the "no hat, no play" area for break times.  Students are encouraged to start bringing their Sunsmart school hat each day from now.

Art Room Donation Requests

We are looking for cereal boxes (flattened) and plastic meat/poultry trays (washed) for the art room.

Heidi is also looking for cross stitch supplies for a lunchtime sewing club.  She is looking for donations of aida cloth, sewing hoops, DMC/Anchor cottons in various colours and simple cross stitch patterns.  Thank you!

Donations

With the wet weather upon us we often have children requiring a change of clothes.  We are in desperate need of small sized navy blue tracksuit pants (size 4 - 6).  If you have any that are not longer worn by your children we would be grateful to receive them.

We are also looking for donations of  Moccona coffee jars (no lid and preferably with labels removed) for a fun fete project.
