Fathers' Day Stall
On Friday 4th September we will be holding a Fathers’ Day gift stall in the Junior Art Room.
We will be offering students a wide range of wonderful, high quality gifts from retail stores, with prices ranging from $1 to $15.00.
The junior students will visit the stall at times arranged with their classroom teachers. Older students can visit the stall during the lunch time.
Please make sure that students come to school with their money in an envelope with their name on it. Here is the parent assistance form:

Dollarmites Savings Tip on Beanstalk!
Encouraging children to save their money is important but so is helping them understand that saving up for something can take time. This week I would like to share with you this practical activity sheet on Beanstalk called ‘Saving Up List’. It's a simple, helpful exercise for children that explains how saving takes time.

PFA Vice President - Sally Wade
I have been with the school since 1996, when my husband Andrew Wade, was employed as a teacher. We have three daughters; Elise now working as a Graphic Designer at MI (Mental Illness) Fellowship, Jessica is currently completing a certificate in Teachers Aid, after both receiving their education at St Andrews and Sophie is currently completing Year 12. I have worked in OSHC since 2001 and for the past 13 years have been the Coordinator. I utterly enjoy working in OSHC. Caring for the children is a very rewarding job and with the added responsibilities with changes made from the State Education Department there is more required than just coming up with fun activities.
We currently attend Glen Waverley Anglican Church, and are meeting weekly with a Life Group.
In any free time I enjoy doing craft projects, swimming, holidaying with Andrew (and the girls, if available to come) and playing games/cards to name just a few.
For PFA over the many years at this College I have helped coordinate the Class Reps, organised many craft groups, and currently enjoy coordinating the Book Clubs, Food Days and any food related requests. I give much praise and glory to God for this College, where the education of our children is given in an environment of Christian love and where God is first and honoured.
