Coats for Kids - Donations
Thursday 9 - Friday 31 May | Middle School Library
The Middle School Student Voice Council has just launched an initiative to help keep Tasmanian children in need, warm this winter by donating coats to the Tassie Mum's 'Coats for Kids' campaign. It's time to clean out the wardrobe!
Coats must be cleaned, free of any holes, stains or broken zips and the size must be clearly labeled.
Donations of childrens' coats can be placed in the House tubs in the Middle School library from Wednesday 9 May - Friday 31 May. Which House will collect the most coats for Tassie kids in need?!
With over 1200 books donated to Library Aid International in Term 1 (and Unwin taking out top honours for the most donations), the Student Voice Council looks forward to seeing how many coats we can collect to help Tassie Mums' aim to collect 1000 coats in May!
Any questions, contact Essie Hoggart, House and Student Leadership Coordinator.
Music Ensembles
If your child is interested in joining one of our many ensembles, please encourage them to talk to a member of the music staff; they will be able to suggest an ensemble appropriate to their instrument and experience. The ensemble rehearsal schedule is here.
