World's Greatest Shave Event
WORLD'S GREATEST SHAVE EVENT
Led by Charlie D, the Newlands community is supporting people living with blood cancer by holding a World's Greatest Shave event at the school on September 19th, 2:30- 5:00 at the bottom oval. Music, food, scavenger hunt, ice bucket the teacher, face painting... So much fun!
If it rains, we will have the stage in the gym instead.
Cookie time!
Hello Newlands!!
Do you remember the churros you’ve bought for your kids during the school day? Well, on Thursday 18 September we’ll be doing the same — but this time with cookies!
As part of Cultural Week, students will decorate a tag which will then be attached to a beautifully wrapped (by us!) cookie for them to take home.
The cookies will be ANZAC or coeliac- and nut-allergy safe. All funds raised will go directly to the Leukaemia Foundation in support of the World’s Greatest Shave event on Friday 19th of September.
We’re aiming to provide cookies for every student at Newlands — that’s more than 400 cookies! Each cookie costs $5, operating on an honesty and generosity system. Students can bring their money and give it to their teacher anytime from Monday 8 September to Wednesday 18 September. We encourage families to contribute $5 — or more if you’re able!
💛 A big thank you to Cobb Lane Bakery and Jaume Alsina for supplying 300 delicious ANZAC cookies.
💛 Thank you to Emma and Charlie Davies for baking 20 coeliac- and nut-allergy safe cookies.
💛 Thank you to Margaret, Jose and the Newlands community for your encouragement and support.
¡Gracias NPS community!
Cheers,
The House Leaders
