Cutlery
With the cooler weather upon us many students are bringing warm lunches to school in a thermos. Please ensure your child also brings the relevant cutlery.
Free Dress Day
The students have been working hard to reach their Dojo Pear Reward this term, and they are on-track to achieving 175 pears by the end of the term. After feedback from classes, the S.R.C. representatives decided to have a P.J./free dress day on the last day of term as the whole-school reward.
So, on June 28th (the last day of term), students are encouraged to come wearing pyjamas, or free dress if they are more comfortable with this. There is no gold coin donation required, and the following guidelines will ensure that students are warm and comfortable on the day:
Please ensure your child has enough layers to be warm throughout the day
Students need to wear runners or school shoes only (no slippers or ugg boots)

Donations
With the wet weather upon us we often have children requiring a change of clothes. We are in desperate need of small sized navy blue tracksuit pants (size 4 - 6). If you have any that are not longer worn by your children we would be grateful to receive them.
We are also looking for donations of Moccona coffee jars (no lid and preferably with labels removed) for a fun fete project.
