News from the Chicken Coop

Thank you to the McKay and Aliahmadi families for taking such great care of our school chickens over the past few weekends. We hope you got lots of eggs and baked lots of delicious goodies with them.

Weekend Chicken Duty Roster

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who have offered to do weekend chicken duty during term 4. The roster is now full right up until the Summer school holidays. We’ll put a call out for school holiday volunteers towards the end of term.

Egg Lotto is back!

For your chance to win 1 dozen eggs just buy an egg lotto ticket. 

Tickets are only $1 each! 

The next Egg Lotto draw will be Monday, 28 October.

We sell tickets in front of the school on Wednesday afternoons from 3:10-3:20pm, selling tickets to students, parents, grandparents and carers. Tickets are available to buy at any time, so just bring your money into school and the Environment Leaders will help you out.

All the money we make is put back into buying food and other necessities for our chickens. There will be a few dozen eggs available to win so get your winning $1 raffle ticket this week!

Soft Plastic Reduction Initiative

The winners from term 3 week 10 and term 4 week 1 were… 1/2B and 3/4B

The classroom winners will receive an Environment mascot to keep in their classroom for the next 2 weeks and 15 class dojo points. 

During term 4 we will continue to promote waste reduction at school, particularly plastic waste. One of the ways we are doing this is by asking families to reduce the amount of non-reusable and non-recyclable items in school lunch boxes. 

Keep up the great work everyone, just do your best and remember that every day is a new day!

Did you Know?…

Chickens are real sleeping beauties. They experience rapid eye movement sleep (REM). This means they dream just like we do!

Thanks for your support,
