Casual Day

On Friday 27th September (Week 10), we are holding a casual day and the money raised will be donated to the RSPCA, a charity selected by the Pilgrim Student Representative Council (SRC). Further information will be sent home to families next week. 

Uniform Checks Term 3 

Over the next few weeks, our staff will be checking whether students are wearing the correct uniform. Please ensure your child is wearing the correct items as per our uniform policywhen they come to school. Until the beginning of December, summer or winter uniform may be worn, but not a mix of these. For the month of December, only summer uniform may be worn. 

Please note the following: 

Jewellery

Earrings – single plain round metal stud or plain sleeper in both ear lobes. 

No bracelets or necklaces.

Hair

Hair longer than the shoulders must be tied back from the face (entirely up).

Hair accessories should be in uniform colours.

Haircuts should be no less than ‘Number 2’.

Additional Items

No clothing should be visible under the uniform (for example, singlets or T shirts).

If you have questions about uniform, please contact Kristen Heath or the Front Office staff. Teachers will send parents an email if they notice there are components of the uniform your family needs to address.

Planning for 2025

If your family has different plans for 2025 and your child will not be returning to Pilgrim School next year, please remember the school requires a term’s notice in writing. Please complete our Notice of Enrolment Withdrawal form by Friday 27th September (the end of Week 10 this term) to avoid paying a term’s fees in lieu of agreed notice.

Operation Christmas Child 

This year, our school is excited to participate in Operation Christmas Child by launching a shoe box donation program! Each class will be filling two shoeboxes—one for a boy and one for a girl—matching the age of the students in their year level. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about giving and the joy of helping others during the holiday season.

We'll be collecting donations for items to include in the boxes, such as toys, school supplies, and personal care items. This initiative not only brings a smile to children in need around the world but also fosters a sense of empathy and community among our students. We encourage families to contribute and get involved in this heartwarming project. Together, let's spread some holiday cheer and make a difference in the lives of children. More information will be coming out over the following weeks about how to get involved with your class boxes.

If you would like to make a donation toward the postage costs for these boxes ($12.50 per box), you can select an amount to donate through the Qkr! app

Thanks.

Emmaus Christian College Senior Worship Band

The Emmaus Christian College Senior Worship Band led worship at Pilgrim School in Week 7 of this term. It was great to have these senior students share music and their faith with our students.
