School Breakfast Club Update
We’re excited to trial our new Breakfast Club at Buninyong PS in the final two weeks of this term! This trial will help us prepare for 2025, and we’d love to see as many students as possible come along and enjoy a healthy start to their day.
Breakfast Club is open to all students and will be located in the grade 5/6 end of the BER building from 8:15 to 8:45 am. Students can enjoy toast, cereal, and fruit during this time.
Join us on the following days:
- Monday 9 December
- Friday 13 December
- Monday 16 December
We encourage all students to participate - breakfast is a great way to start the day feeling focused and ready to learn!
Please see the sign up sheet HERE for any parents or friends who would like to come along and help out.
Fresh fruit is also available for students in all classrooms during eating times throughout the week.
Additionally, we have home food packs available for families who would find this support helpful. If this could assist your family, please contact the office or Narelle, and we’ll arrange one for you.
Christmas Dress Up Day on the Last Day of Term
A reminder that on the last day of term, students are encouraged to dress up in a Christmas related theme! This is always a fun day and a nice way to finish the term as we head off on the holiday break.
Grade 6 students (and any other students permanently leaving the school) usually wear their uniform on this day in order to get it signed by their classmates.
A Reminder About Lollies as Choking Hazards
Around this time each year, we see an increase of Christmas cards and lollies (mostly candy canes but not limited to these) coming to school and being shared as a gift for Christmas.
Whilst we are not discouraging the kids from showing this kindness to their peers, these lollies can pose a choking hazard if not consumed appropriately and may also contain ingredients that may cause an anaphylactic reaction in some children.
As such, we ask that all families take the time to talk to their children about saving any lollies that they receive until they get home. Our staff will also be reminding students of this.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
