JSC Casual Dress Day Food Drive for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC)
The JSC are very excited to remind everyone we will be having a Food Drive Casual Clothes Day on Thursday 3rd of August.
We would love for you to bring some canned foods, instead of donating a gold coin.
The ASRC Foodbank currently provides free groceries to around 600 people every fortnight, most that have no income and no work rights. Around half of them are children, so we thought this was an important and worthy cause for our school to focus on.
Here is a list of some of the items we are collecting:
- Canned chickpeas 425 gms
- Canned tomatoes 425 gms
- Canned lentils 425gm
- Canned white beans 425gm
- Canned mixed beans 425gm
- Canned corn 425g
- Canned peas 425g
- Canned carrots 425g
- Canned mixed vegetables 425g
You may start to bring in the canned food and give it to your classroom teacher in the lead up to our free dress day 😊
Many thanks for your support with this worthy cause.
From the JSC (Junior School Council)
National Day of Action against Bullying
Join us as we participate in the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) on Friday 18 August 2023.
This year, the NDA’s theme is: Growing connections with each other, with our schools and our communities to create positive action for Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative. The NDA is an important day in our school calendar to say ‘Bullying. No Way!’.
Research has shown that a sense of connection to school supports the development of positive social behaviours and decreases the likelihood and negative impacts of bullying. Growing connections helps students feel accepted, respected, included, and supported. The 2023 NDA theme offers an opportunity to increase student connectedness and sense of belonging. Together we can make a change. Everyone has a role to play for bullying prevention.
