Monday 27 May - ALL students to attend school

Monday 27 May is not a Flipped Monday and all students are required to attend school. Students should come prepared for Day 10 in their timetables.

Athletics Carnival - Friday 31 May  

The College Athletics Carnival is a compulsory event, and all students are expected to attend. If the carnival is cancelled parents will be advised via Parent Orbit/Parent Lounge and students should come prepared for Day 4 in their timetables. 

Students who wish to participate in competitive events must register via Sports Tracker.  Registrations close Monday 27 May at 3.30pm. Students who do not register to participate competitively will have the opportunity to earn house points in field events should time permit. 

Uniform 

All students are to travel to and from school in their full sports uniform or full winter uniform.  Students can change into house colours once at school. 

Students should bring a hat and sunscreen and are responsible for their own sun safety. 

Home Room 

Students competing in the 1500m race DO NOT go to home room. When they arrive at school, they should proceed straight to the marshalling area on Far Avenue to begin racing at 8.50am sharp. 

All other students should go to home room as normal. 

BBQ lunch

A fundraising BBQ will be held to raise money for the ‘Remote Op Shop Clothing Drive’. EFT and cash payment options will be available.

• Sausage sandwiches - $3.00
• Sausage sandwich + drink - $5.00

There will be no canteen on the day.  Students should bring sufficient water and snacks for the day as access to the BBQ will be limited and scheduled by age group. 

Additional events 

The 3000m, Long Jump and Triple Jump events will not be held on the day of the Carnival.  Students will be advised of the day and time for these events via Daily Notices. 

Hurdles events will not be run at a school level.  Any student wishing to compete in hurdles at the ISA Carnival will be asked to submit an official time from a sanctioned competition. 

Spectators 

Spectators are welcome to attend and we recommend you bring your own seating. Spectators are asked to not approach carnival officials on the day and spectate from a suitable distance from the competition areas.

Charlotte Street 

To help us keep our students safe, we are appealing to parents to not drop-off or pick-up your children on Charlotte Street.  It is a very busy street during school zone times with increased bus activity and limited parking zones.  

All students should be dropped off and picked up at either Pick Up Point A (off Moss Vale Road) or Pick Up Point B (off Eridge Park Road).  

Please also be aware that police randomly patrol School Zones to ensure compliance with road safety rules.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.

Wilton Bus TRIAL

Beginning in Term 3, we intend to run a TRIAL express direct bus service from our campus to Wilton (return).

Vinnies Winter Appeal

This term, the College will be raising funds and goods for the Vinnies Winter Appeal. Australia’s current cost of living crisis means that more and more families are struggling to meet basic needs such as food and a warm place to stay. Coupled with a crisis in the rental market (less than 1% of rentals are affordable for a person on the minimum wage), Vinnies and other services are seeing an unprecedented increase in demand for support. Every donation will help provide much needed assistance to those in the community doing it tough.

Students and families are invited to contribute to the Winter Appeal in one of the following ways during Weeks 5-8 (27 May - 20 June).

1. Donate using EFTPOS or cash. Each day during home room in Weeks 5-8, different home rooms will be visited with the EFTPOS machine and donation box. These funds will be used to provide vouchers for families to purchase food and other items.
2. Donate online using the Chevalier College Vinnies Winter Appeal fundraising page which will be available on the school’s socials and Daily Notices. Donating using this method provides individuals with tax deductible receipts. 
3. Donate goods requested by the local Vinnies Conferences such as long life milk, instant coffee, tea, pasta sauce, and personal care items such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo, toothbrush. Please ensure goods are in date and undamaged, to help cherish the dignity of the individual receiving the goods.

Every little bit counts.
