Colour Run :  Friday November 26th, 2:30pm – 3:25pm (Backup Day December 3rd)

The excitement is building towards the much-loved Colour Run!  However, due to predicted poor weather next Friday November 26th, it has been prudent to allocate a back-up date, which will be the following Friday, December 3rd.  It is suggested that students bring some old clothes to change into at lunchtime and an old towel as we will have the sprinklers on!

Please head to Compass to ‘approve’ your child’s participation in this event. As per other years this event is a school fundraiser with money raised contributing to the school’s 2022 project, creating an all-weather field on the P-2 Oval: see Fundraising Link. 

Note: The school respects that all families are each experiencing varying financial pressures as a result of our COVID-19 year.  As a result fundraising is optional. 

Community members are welcome to attend, but reminded they must be double vaccinated to be onsite and sign in using the QR Code. 

DET Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality

'Thanks is enough' is DET’s desired standard when responding to offers of gifts, benefits and hospitality.  In saying that, DET and Croydon Hills Primary School fully understand that families may wish to show their gratitude with a ‘Gift of Appreciation’.  If you are considering acknowledging our staff can I please request that you support our adherence to DET Policy and not donate cash vouchers (debit cards).  NB: non-cash vouchers are permitted, ie:  a voucher for a specific retailer, provided it cannot be converted to cash. 

Bunnings BBQ

Thank you to the families and staff who have nominated to support our school’s Bunnings Chirnside Park BBQ on Saturday December 4th. We still require helpers for the 2:00pm – 4:00pm timeslot, SIGN UP HERE, otherwise pop down for a sausage or two!

Curriculum Day 

A reminder that tomorrow, Friday November 19th is a Curriculum Day, so no students are to be at school.  Our teachers will be working on Reports.  Our OSHC program is offering care, should it be needed.
