2022 Term dates
Our term dates for next year have been published in this newsletter under the previous tab. The change to make note of is the mid year break will be three weeks next year. More information will be coming out later, but please put it in your diaries now.
MS Readathon
The MS Readathon inspires kids to read as much as they can, all for one incredible cause. The MS readathon runs throughout August. This can be kids reading on their own but could also be parents reading to their kids and teachers reading to their class! The Library has registered to join and parents/caregivers you can register your children via the link below: https://www.msreadathon.org.au/join/CornerstoneChristianCollegeBusselton
The library has chosen to support this cause as we have an incredible library volunteer, Pauline Kamchevski. Pauline is a qualified librarian and dedicates every Tuesday afternoon to helping in the library and sharing her expertise knowledge and skills. Pauline also has Multiple Sclerosis. The MS readathon is an opportunity to know more about MS and raise awareness as well as raise much needed funds. The funds raised goes to helping kids who have a parent with MS through MS Family Camps and Family Fun Days.
Don’t forget to register using the above link and join in the reading fun!!
Science week!
Next week is National Science Week and the theme this year is ‘Food – Different by Design’. To celebrate, the primary classes will do some ‘food’ related science experiments in their classes and Year 1-6 will participate in a ‘Living Food’ display in the science lab. It should be a fun and exciting week of scientific exploration, thinking and questioning highlighting the science of food!

Employment opportunities

Awards Night Sponsors
Early next term we start the process of sourcing sponsors for a range of awards we present at the end of each year. We are so grateful for the faithful team of sponsors we have had over the years, but a place or two have opened up this year, where we would love to partner with new businesses or individuals.
What do you get? We make sure we mention you in our presentation nights, you are noted in the program, you can even come on stage and shake the hand of your prize recipient/s if you like. But the best part is that you have a part to play in encouraging the hard work of students in so many fields.
Want to know more? Contact Elle Maynard in the administration, or by email at elle.maynard@cornerstone.wa.edu.au.
