YEAR 8 LA TROBE UNIVERSITY DISCOVERY DAY

As part of The Lakes’ Transition & Pathways Program, a full-day excursion has been organised to enable Year 8 students to visit the La Trobe University Bundoora Campus. During this visit students will have the opportunity to gain an insight into areas of study, pathways into university courses, explore the university facilities and grounds in small groups with Lakes’ staff and university guides, and have their lunch on the university grounds, brought with them or purchased, before returning to school. This is an excellent opportunity for students to consider possible future endeavours, and subject selection in their senior secondary years.

Permission to be given prior to Monday 18th November 2019.

No late permission can be accepted.

Christmas Hamper Donations

This year we won’t be holding a Christmas raffle, but rather we will donate all of our goods to local charities that will support community members in need.

The collections will happen as follows:

Week 6 – November 11 – 15 – donation of packaged goods;

Week 7 – November 18 – 22 – donation of Christmas items (napkins, tinsel, baubles etc.);

Week 8 – November 25 - 28 – donation of your choice.

Of course you are not compelled or expected to donate each week, however please know that every donation will go to charity.

No fresh food donations/opened packages can be accepted.

We encourage you to participate in this initiative and share the joy of giving with your children.
