Icy Pole Fridays

2nd Hand Uniform Stalls

Please meet Josie Perri and her team at this coming week’s uniform stalls.

Stall 1: Thursday 18th November in Hawthorn St Yard @2:45pm – 3:45pm for family surnames A-K.

Stall 2: Friday 19th November in Hawthorn St Yard @2:45pm – 3:45pm for family surnames L-Z.

Upon arrival to the stall, you will be required to sign in, sanitise your hands and social distance as you wait for your turn. Please remember to bring your own bag and the correct change for purchases as money handling limited. We thank you for your understanding and appreciate your willingness to follow the above guidelines as we aim to provide a uniform stall that will keep us all safe and in line with government regulations.

* We would also like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE THANK-YOU to all the families who continue to donate their pre-loved school uniforms, it is much appreciated. However, we would also like to make you aware of the condition that we require the school uniforms to be in, for re-sale:

• Please ensure that the uniforms you are donating are of a clean, school quality standard with no major stains, rips or fading. 
• Please, NO SOCKS or JOCKS!
• If possible, please ensure they are washed and ready for sale.

We simply request that you forward any uniform that you would comfortably allow your own child to wear. In addition to this, if we end up with too many items that we need to dispose of, it adds to unwanted landfill, which is an environmental concern and furthermore becomes a school COST to remove. Many thanks.

Crazy Camel Artwork Fundraiser Thankyou

Thank you to the children who took the time to design and draw some beautiful artwork for the ‘Crazy Camel’ fundraiser. The pictures drawn, the colours used, and the messages included in each design were picturesque and heartfelt. I am sure that the recipients of your beautiful artwork will be very pleased with the time and effort you put into the task.

The finished products are due for delivery to the school on Friday 10th December.  Thank you, parents/carers, for your support with this fundraiser, it is very much appreciated.
