Dear Families,
Welcome to Issue 16 of our iNewsletter! We hope this newsletter continues to keep you up to date with all the news, events and learning that happens at St Roch's.
We are looking forward to coming together as a community on Friday evening to celebrate belonging to St Roch's!! Our Traditional Family Bush Dance is taking a slightly different format with a Talent Quest like no other to open the evening. We will then gather in the playground to enjoy the many events planned. Sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to the plannning of this evening, particularly, Jess Nichols and Charlotte Moore for all of their organisation and commitment to making this night a wonderful evening for our students, staff and families.
Exciting Events Ahead!
WARNING: Colour Explosion Incoming! A message from Dave Crew!
Attention all students, staff and anyone who owns white clothing they don't mind becoming colourful - St Roch's legendary Colour Run is back on Wednesday, 3rd December.
This year, we've got something EXTRA special planned that might just make you feel like you are running on Cloud 9... but we've already said too much!
The event will unleash chaos…… we mean fun!!! Right here in our own school. Prepare to be turned into walking talking rainbows as you run, skip or cartwheel your way through clouds of colour. By the end, your parents won't recognize you.
HELP! We Need Brave Adult Volunteers! Are you a parent who enjoys controlled chaos? Do you like throwing coloured powder at children? (In a fun, supervised way, of course!) Then we need YOU! Sign up to volunteer and join the madness.
The Boring But Important Bit: Logistics, timing, and instructions will be sent out closer to 3rd December.
Let's Raise Money for Our School! Now it's time to start fundraising!

Let the countdown to colourful chaos begin!
