Hats and Sunscreen Returns

From next Monday August 4th, students are again required to wear hats and sunscreen for outside play during recess and lunch as the UV level starts reaching 3 again. Please ensure your child applies sunscreen before coming to school, and they bring their hat each day. Hats should be clearly labelled with their first and last name, or first name and class so that it can make its way back to them if it gets lost.

For more information on UV safety, please visit the Cancer Council website.

Father's Day Stall

The Fathers’ Day Stall is fast approaching and will be held in Week 6 this year on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th August. This is earlier than previous years. It will be a week and a bit before Fathers’ Day due to the special Junior Primary Musical being held in Week 7, just prior to Fathers’ Day.

 

The planning team are now looking for volunteers for the stall.

If you're keen to help, we are looking for:

  • People to volunteer and serve at the stall.

Dates of the stall are: 

Wed August 27th 1105am – 3pm (with lunch break)

Thurs August 28th 850am – 2pm (with morning tea and lunch break)

Please consider when you will be able to help and take note of the time slots on the attached volunteer form which will also be sent home in blue bags soon with the eldest child of each family. Please return this form if you’d like to volunteer, thank you. 

Please take note that you will need to have completed all the volunteer requirements for school to be part of this special event. 

 

We are now happily collecting any home-made donations to sell too for the Fathers’ Day Stall.

Please have these dropped off to school Wednesday Week 5 and please communicate prior to the event with what you hope to donate, to Rachael Richards - r_haaren@hotmail.com

 

Thank you for your contribution, we look forward to another successful Father's Day Stall event!

Step Up to First Communion

Young people aged around 10 years, together with their parents/caregivers, are invited to take part in our Step Up program to prepare for Holy Communion. Taking the approach that parents/ carers are the primary faith developer in their children, Step Up is designed to support parents/carers in preparing their child for Holy Communion.  

 

This course will be offered in Term 3 over 4 consecutive Friday nights (August 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd). The actual Step Up service will take place on August 24th at 10.30 am. If you are interested, please contact Georgie by this coming Sunday at the latest (as our gatherings begin next week).
