Camp Photos!

We are so grateful to each of our parent helpers (Jo Wall, Doryan Gowty, Rebecca Rorke, Steph McCorkelle and Cam Patrick) for their amazing support during our Log Cabin Camp at Creswick. We could not have done it without you! 

A massive thankyou also to Mrs Harris for her fantastic organisation of this event, Mr Trezise for looking after the medical needs of students and to the rest of the 3/4 team for their wonderful work. 

Be Awesome Day - Donations 

Below we have a brief overview of the types of stalls that the Grade 3/4 classroom will be holding for Be Awesome Day. If you are able to donate anything to your child's stall (or another classroom's stall), please send these donations to the corresponding teacher. Thankyou to everyone for their support of this special day!

Daenke are hosting a MARVEL-lous raffle and game: Instead of donated items, it would be greatly appreciated if all 3-4 Daenke students were able to donate $2-$4 to reimburse Mr D for the stock purchased. Coins can be brought directly to class anytime in the next two weeks. 

Harris/Green will be having a t-shirt design stall. We are seeking donations of white t-shirts (different sizes), texters, sharpies, paint sticks/ markers, fabric pens, fabric stickers and stencils - thankyou!

Schulz - Grade 3/4 Schulz would appreciate donations of prizes for our ‘Lucky Cups’ stall. We welcome new and used prizes including stationary, toys, fidgets, books - thank you for your generosity!

Mitchell will be holding a photobooth stall. If you have any props that you would like to donate to our stall or A4 sheets of white cardboard/cardstock that we could use to print the photos on (rather than just using thin photocopy paper) it would be very appreciated!

Staley/Alexander will be running a Rock, Paper, Scissors/Lucky Card stall this year. You will need to beat us at Rock, Paper, Scissors before choosing a random playing card. Whichever card you choose will decide your prize!

To support our stall we have been seeking small packets of edible prizes from our community. Thanks so much to those who have already sent these in.
