Salvos Food Drive
The Junior School Council have organised a Salvos Food Drive for Christmas. We feel
this is a very important cause as we believe everyone should enjoy a happy and joyful Christmas dinner with their family.
You will be able to drop any food off outside the office (right in front of Natalie’s desk). Please feel free to donate as much as you can. If you are unsure of what to give, you can refer to the below attachment for a list of food ideas.
Donations will be picked up Friday November 28 (week 8).
We hope you are able to donate some food to families that are less fortunate.
A big Thank You to families who have already donated.
Merry Christmas!

We had another fun weekend away in Warburton despite the rainy weather! Although the inaugural Warby Games couldn’t go ahead due to the weather, everyone had a great time connecting and catching up.
The annual camping trip is a lot of fun- come for the weekend or come for a visit on the Saturday.
If you’re interested in coming along next year we would love to see you there!

Lost Property
There are lots of jumpers in the lost property tub in the Middle/Senior unit. If you are missing an item please check here. Lost property tubs are also in the Junior unit. All of these are UNNAMED.
Any lost property that is left at the end of term will be donated to the 2nd Hand Uniform sale.
Please, please name your child’s uniform as it makes sorting the endless piles of lost property much easier for the volunteers.
Thank you!
Hats Are Back
As the weather is getting better and we are now headed into to Spring we have to be midful of the UV while students are outside. As it is school policy from mid-August to 30 April, when the UV idex reaches 3 or higher all students must wear a sun protective hat.
We ask that from now on you please make sure your child brings a hat to school each day.
Students who are not wearing an appropriate hat may be asked to play in the shade or in a suitable area protected from the sun.
Hats can be purchased from our uniform supplier Spartan School World in Ringwood.
Please make sure that your child's hat is clearly named.
