Dear Families,
LITTLE ANGLERS KITS
The Victorian Government is handing out 82,500 free Little Anglers Kits to Grade 5 students. The kits include a fishing rod, a reel with line and a tackle box. The kits are funded by recreational fishing licence fees and you can use the Victorian Fisheries Authority website to find local places to fish. Students will come home with them this week.

GRANDPARENTS DAY
On Monday, 24th August, we are celebrating Book Week with a combined 'Dress as Your Favourite Book Character' and 'Grandparent's (special person's)' Day. The plan is to begin the day at 9am with a parade, shared reading time with grandparents and/or special persons, following with a shared morning tea at around 10am. The finer details of the morning will be confirmed closer to the day.
Junior School Council is organising the day and they would like all families to bring along a plate of food to share for morning tea.

Our Athletics Day will be held on Friday 28th August at the Toolamba Community Oval. It will be a great day of fun and friendly competition, as students participate and cheer on their respective Houses. Families are welcome to come along and cheer on the students throughout the day.
