Year Three - Christmas Bake Sale

We are excited to announce a Term 4 Wembley Fundraising Initiative, The Year Three Christmas Bake Sale. The Bake Sale will be held at lunchtime on Monday 18th December, in the eating area. This fundraiser has come to life as a result of the thinking of some Year Three students who want to raise money for a charity that is close to their heart, all money will be donated to a Multiple Sclerosis Charity. These students were inspired after seeing the success of our 2022 Year Three Bake Sale. There will be a range of baked goods/desserts available for purchase on the day that will cost between $1-$3. We ask that students bring at most $5 - $10 to spend on the day. All dietary requirements will be catered for, including gluten free and vegan options. If your child would like to participate in this fundraiser, they bring some gold coins/small notes to purchase delicious treats on the day. 

We thank you for all your support,

Adriana Jankulovski and the Year 3 Bake Sale Committee

Waste-Free Wednesdays

The Sustainability Captains and team would like to say a big thank you to our Wembley community and all of the people who responded to our survey regarding Waste-Free lunches which was sent out last term. We also want to thank people for the great suggestions and supportive comments they made, which were much appreciated by our Sustainability Captains, Matilda Ruddick and Lola Crosbie-Paul.

We were thrilled to receive so many responses, with over 100 people responding. An overwhelming number of respondents said that they would like to trial ‘waste-free lunches’ once a week or more. 38% of people voted for waste free lunches to occur once a week, while another 38% voted for them to occur every day. Given these results, we would like to launch:

WASTE-FREE WEDNESDAYS!

We would like to invite our community to give their best effort in reducing the amount of single-use plastic in their lunchboxes on Wednesdays. Of course if you were one of the people who voted for every day to be waste-free, then we would encourage you to make every day a waste-free lunch day. We won’t be counting lunchboxes, but we will be celebrating some excellent example photos of waste-free lunchboxes in future posts and on our website. This way, you will be able to gather great new ideas from other families at school!

We will be starting Waste-Free Wednesdays from next week, with Wednesday October 11 being our first Waste-free Wednesday. Thank you also to those of you who provided other suggestions and ideas for our Sustainability team regarding other areas of improvement we could make in the area of sustainability. We have heard you and will move forward with these ideas in mind!
