Lots of Socks Fundraiser for World Down Syndrome Day

Dear CNPS community,

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is our Lots of Socks Fundraiser day.

Tomorrow we are inviting kids to wear socks as colourful as they can be or even mix and match socks and bring in a gold coin donation. We encourage you to have them as bright, colourful, short or long as you want. You can add even more flair and wear bright and colourful clothes to match with your socks! Our SRC students will also have a limited number of socks available for purchase at the front of the foyer during break times for a gold coin donation.

We can’t wait to see all the wonderful different socks!

Below are 3 short videos from Down Syndrome Victoria’s ‘Now You See Me’ campaign that aims to share the authentic voices of people with Down syndrome and their families.

People with Down syndrome want the same things as everyone else in the community – the best start in life, a good education, meaningful employment, somewhere to live and active participation in the life of the community around them.

(note- you may have to rewind them to the beginning)

A big thank you to those families who have made a curriculum contribution, and other much-needed contributions, to our school this year.

Without parent contributions, the school is out of pocket for these significant expenses.

We greatly appreciate your contribution to these, and if you are able, towards other initiatives as detailed attached.

Payment can be made through Course Confirmations on the Compass portal, or by EFTPOS or cash over the phone or counter.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support of our school.
