Hello,
I'm hosting a Rainbow Monday event to celebrate the wonderful people we have right here in our electorate who continue to pave the way for future members of the LGBTIQA+ community and for allies to stand in solidarity with them all.
Anastasia Le will be joining us for the evening, as a Board Member for the Victorian Pride Centre. Anastasia is a proud woman of trans, forcibly displaced and of colour experience, and will share the work of the Victorian Pride Centre with guests on the evening.
Details for the event are as follows:
Cost: Free
Rainbow Monday will be a fun celebration, with light drinks and food provided. I hope to see as many of you as possible there. If you know someone in our community who is an ally, or is part of the Queer community and would like to attend, please forward this invitation along to them - I'd love for them to join us.
I look forward to celebrating Rainbow Monday together with you and our wonderfully diverse and powerful LGBTIQ+ community.
Kind regards,
Vicki Ward.
Glass Jars
We are currently seeking glass jars for activities in Sustainability and Biodiversity. Any clean glass jars, preferably with the label removed, (with or without the lid) that you would like to donate, would be greatly appreciated. Please drop them to the Discovery Kitchen on Level 2.
Container Deposit Scheme (CDS)
We have begun collecting bottles and cans for the CDS recycling initiative. Thank you to those families who have already jumped onboard and dropped off eligible bottles and containers to the front office collection bin. Every item we collect will earn our school 10c which will go towards purchasing more plants for our gardens. Should you wish to self-deposit at a local refund point instead, please download the CDS Vic North app, create an account, click donation and search Eltham East Primary School. All funds will be transferred directly to the school account.
Paint Donations
This term, our Year 3 and 4 students are underway with planning the installation of 8 new pollinator houses for the school gardens, as part of their ‘Busy Bees’ unit. Part of the process sees students design and paint the outside of the structure. We would be grateful for any donations of EXTERIOR paints or clear stains, that you may have around your home. We are happy to take partially used cans that you may no longer need. In particular, black paint would be most useful. If you think you might be able to assist, please reach out to kara.jackson@education.vic.gov.au for further information. Thank you!
We accept advertisements to be included in our newsletter from most areas of private industry, however it should be noted that Eltham East’s School Council does not endorse any product or service advertised.
