Handball in the Playground
With the restriction to team sports in the playground due to Covid 19, students are actively playing handball at most breaks. Our SRC has created and developed a set of rules for the students to follow and have been around to classrooms to explain them. The SRC and some other Year 6 children have become handball monitors at Snack Break. We are hoping this will reduce the disagreements during games and encourage students to play in a positive spirit.

Uniform
Students are expected to be in full school uniform whenever they attend school. At the moment students have the option of wearing either Summer or Winter uniform, but it can not be a combination of both. If wearing their Winter uniform, students must have ties on. Winter uniform will be compulsory from June 1. If for any reason your child is out of uniform, please send in a note.
School Recycling Program
We are continuing our recycling program across the school. TerraCycle and Colgate® have partnered to create a free recycling program for oral care product packaging as well as a fundraising opportunity for participants. Any funds we raise will go to Catholic Mission. Program accepted waste includes: toothpaste tubes and caps, manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrush heads, toothbrush and toothpaste tube plastic packaging, floss containers. Please recycle your cardboard packaging in your kerbside recycling bin. Electronic toothbrush handles and bases are not recyclable through this program.
A bin will be placed in the front office where recyclables can be collected or students can bring them into their classrooms give them to their teachers for collection.
