Ripper Families
CARNIVAL THIS SATURDAY 12-6PM
Last chance to help at Ripponlea Primary’s most fun day of the year! We’re a small school with a big heart - so sign up to help on the day and get amongst it.
All it takes is 2 hours of your time to help make this Ripponlea’s best event yet and raise much-needed funds for the junior playground upgrade!
*If you have already signed up, please check the schedule to familiarise yourself with the time and area you will be working.
Child Safety
Please remember that the Carnival is open to the public and it is your responsibility to ensure your children are supervised by you, in a manner you are comfortable with.
It would be great if you could let your child know that if they get lost or need help on the day they should do the following:
* Head to the main stage
* Look out for helpers in high vis vests
* Head to the ticket tables
Anyone at these locations will help out our rippers.

Reduce, re-use, recycle at Rippstock
As part of embedding sustainability into everything we do here at Ripponlea Primary, look out for bins placed around the school with coloured signage on what goes in which bin.
We will also be collecting cans and bottles as part of the container deposit scheme, with money collected going to a charity chosen by the sustainability leaders.
Everyone can do their part to protect the environment for our next generation by looking carefully at the signage provided on the bins, which will look like this:
Please also remember to bring your own bags for shopping and Keep Cups to reduce waste at the coffee stand on the day!
