Thank You for contributing,

Please wear a touch of pink and bring a gold coin donation on one of the three days.

SCHOOL SLEEPOUT
Last month, Mr Flanagan, Miss Orengo and Miss Quinlan went to Papua New Guinea (PNG) and visited two schools in Aitape.
While they were there, they saw first hand the issues that the students from PNG experience everyday.
This year the Social Justice captains have decided to do a school sleepout to raise awareness and money for PNG. This event will be held on Friday the 17th of August. It is available for the Year 5 and 6 students and will be a great experience and a great initiative.
The students participating will sleep in the school hall with nothing but some cardboard, a pillow and a blanket.
