Current & Upcoming Events
BIZARRE BAZAAR - TOMORROW
Our 5/6 students have been working hard on their Inquiry unit, Bizarre Bazaar! Throughout this unit, students have explored real-world concepts across the curriculum, including Maths and Writing, as they researched, designed and marketed their own products and stalls. They are excited to share their hard work with you!
Tomorrow, Friday 30 October (Week 4), students will host their stalls in the 5/6 building after assembly, at approximately 9:30 am. We warmly invite families and friends to come along, support the students and celebrate the creativity, collaboration and effort they have put into bringing their ideas to life.
Products will be priced between 50 cents and $5. We will be using a token system, with money exchanged for tokens that can then be used to purchase items from the stalls.
We look forward to seeing you there!
PARENTS' ASSOCIATION MEETING - FRIDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2.45PM
SHARE THE DIGNITY
We are collecting for the charity Share the Dignity again this year. It is our 9th year supporting the It's in the bag campaign at BHNPSK and a charity that I feel passionate about supporting. Educators are putting together handbags for women in need and we would be grateful if you could also support this charity. If you would like to participate, please bring your filled handbag (see below) before 17th November. You can also collect a few items when you do your shopping and donate separate items if you would prefer. (such as soap, shampoo, toothbrush or sanitary items)
We have three types of bags we collect: TEENAGER / ADULT / MUM & BUB
More info can be found on Share the dignity website https://sharethedignity.org.au/what-we-do/its-in-the-bag.
These bags are distributed to adults living in crisis from those experiencing homelessness, living in domestic violence refuges, indigenous communities and those doing it tough.
If you're putting an adult bag together, please include:
Shampoo & Conditioner-full size
Toothbrush & Toothpaste
Body wash or Soap
Roll-on Deodorant (no aerosol)
Sealed packets of pads and tampons
We also recommend you add a couple of additional luxuries that an adult might need or that will make her feel special. eg jewellery, scarf, notebook, hand cream, lip balm, make up etc and write a nice card to go inside the bag.
Bags are due at kinder by 17th November. The bags are then taken to Bunnings and donated to charities across the country to distribute to those in need ready for Christmas.
Thank you for your support!!!!!
Narelle and the kinder team. Please feel free to ask us questions if you have any.
