Fathers Day Stall

Our annual Father’s Day stall will go ahead… remote style! It will operate in the same way as our Mother’s Day stall did during the first lockdown period. 

 

It is an opportunity for our kids to express and learn more about gratitude, especially towards our dads and male role models during this challenging time.

 

Gifts can be viewed, paid for and ordered online. They will then need to be collected from the school BER (Grade 6 end) on:

  • Thursday 3rd September (1pm – 4pm)
  • Friday 4th September (9am – 11am)

Social distancing rules will apply when collecting gifts. Only one person per family to enter the building when collecting please. ENTRY will be via doors near P-2 playground. EXIT will be through the doors near the synthetic turf.

SC1 Japanese Winter Artwork

Students in SC1 have been embracing the recent cold weather by studying the Kanji for Fuyu, which means "Winter" in Japanese.  We noticed how the Kanji looked a little bit like a dressed-up snowman and thought "Fuyu" sounded a bit like "Phew!" so we thought of some things snowmen could be saying "Phew" about! We hope you enjoy our artwork- well done to all the students in SC1! https://youtu.be/vlD06dUzLkg
