SRC Initiative - Operation Christmas Child

This year, the Primary Student Representative Council are organising a collection of gifts for Operation Christmas Child, a Samaritan’s Purse initiative.

Your child should have brought home a flyer. If you would like to take part in this initiative, all you need to do is:

Find a shoe box, no larger than A4 and cover with Christmas wrapping paper.
Decide who to pack for – girl / boy? Age 2 – 4, 5 – 9, or 10 – 14.
Fill the shoe box with appropriate items – click on the QR code on the flyer for ideas.
You can order a label for $12.50, which covers the cost of processing and shipping (scan the second QR code on the flyer), or simply make your own, detailing the gender and age of child you have bought for. Attach your label to the box.
Deliver your gift to Primary Admin by Wednesday 1 November.

Important Dates for Term 4

2024 Primary Orientation Day (Pre-Prep to Year 5) – Friday 3 November

As previously communicated in the Term 4 Welcome Back letter, we are very excited to welcome our new and transitioning students into their 2024 year levels on Friday 3 November. For current students to the College, this will be a regular school day, where they will spend the morning immersed in a different classroom and environment, meet some of the new friends who will be joining the cohort and complete some learning for the year level above. Please be aware, the teachers that the students will be placed with on Orientation Day, will not necessarily be the teachers they will have for the 2024 school year. Our teachers may move around from year to year in the Primary Years. Classes and teachers will be shared with our community ahead of the new school year.

Speech Night (Year 6) – Tuesday 14 November

All Year 6 students who are continuing onto Secondary School at Clayfield College will take part in a special presentation at this year's Speech Night! Information has been emailed to our continuing Year 6 families.
