Events

Chris Diacos Parent Information Session

On Tuesday 18th October, we will have a parent Information session with Chris Diacos. The session will run from 6:30pm until approximately 7:30pm.

In Term 1 2021 we had Chris present for our parent community, and we had over 35 parents attend and their feedback was overwhelming positive. Chris has a very engaging and informative presentation style and brings years of experience, have a look at her website to view reviews and a little more information about her.

Chris will be presenting - Teaching Children the Language of Optimism. 

This is an important mindset for our students to develop, especially after the past couple of years. 

 

Here is a link to our booking form for the session. Please fill in your name if you are attending and if you require babysitting.

 

We hope to see you there!

Open Garden Afternoon

Colour Run

We will be holding the School Fun Run’s Crazy Colour Day as our ‘END OF YEAR CELEBRATION’ fundraising event this year on THURSDAY DECEMBER 1st. We’re doing it to raise much needed money for improvement to our grounds, in particular, a new playground. 

 

How Does My Child Fundraise?

Create a student profile page on schoolfunrun.com.au. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Students who raise just $10 will be able to choose a prize! The more they raise, the better their reward. To start fundraising online, go to your student profile page at schoolfunrun.com.au and share your online fundraising link. 

 

Getting Involved

Not only can you support the school and students with your sponsorship – but you can join in on the fun! We would love to welcome parents and family members to attend and participate in the Crazy Colour Day. If you would like to volunteer on the day, please contact Danielle Ali, dali@centastaff.com.au  or Amy Barr amybarr@live.com.au 

We can’t wait to see you at our event!
