Disney Frozen Jr Front Cover Competition
Well done to all the participants who entered the Disney Frozen Jr Front Cover Competition. All students and staff voted and the winner is.... Charlotte S in 3GR. Congratulations Charlotte, your design will look spectacular as the front cover of our Disney Frozen Jr Program.
Costume Washing - HELP needed
As some of our costumes have been hired from another school, before they are returned, it is necessary for ALL these items to be washed. There are stringent requirements for the washing process and we would GREATLY appreciate parent help with this task. All items must be hand washed and completely dried before returning them to the Office.
If you can help with this please contact Danielle Gerecke at dgerecke@shkew.catholic.edu.au
Costumes can be picked up on Monday 20 October from the Meeting Room in the Office (at the end of the school day), and it would be fabulous if these washed items could be returned to school by Monday 27 October.
