Guinea pig update
Wednesday lunchtime Guinea pig pats are now being housed along side the Origami lunchtime club in 1-2W.
Today we had about 10 kids come through for a pat of Puggles, along with feeding her some bamboo leaves. There are some regulars and some new kids every time. It’s lovely to see the care they take with Puggles. It’s teaching them patience to wait for their turn, and inclusivity when new people arrive, space is made in the circle.
Some kids were asking about taking Puggles home for the weekend so if you don’t have any cats or dogs, then you will be able to have her. She has already been home with one family and another is booked in the coming weeks - so I am very happy to share the Guinea pig love around the school community.

Busking For Change
This year, Rosanna Primary school students, teachers and community are Busking For Change, changemakers. This is a new musical fundraiser by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF). Simply put, students will learn to sing a song in English and Kriol and raise money for their efforts. Each participating student is invited to create their own fundraising page (linked to the school page), but you can also just donate to our school page if this is easier. If you sign your student up and link it to our school page, then they can set their own fundraising goal and share how they are participating in Busking For Change with family and friends. As a school community we have a goal to raise $500, but we may be able to raise much more than that! (There are prizes that can be won for our school should we manage to raise more). All funds raised help kids and families in remote Communities access and create books in the languages they speak at home.
Please check out our school page https://buskingforchange.ilf.org.au/rosanna-primary-school and learn more about this joyful fundraiser that helps us all to be changemakers.
Our performance day will be Friday 15th September, held on site at Rosanna Primary School as part of our end of term assembly. You are more than welcome to attend this, to watch our children in action, ‘Busking for Change’.
