CRICKET
Congratulations to our fantastic Cricket team who competed today in the Regional Finals Gala Day at Mullum Mullum North Ringwood. Great work coaching the Team Mr Jones!
It was great to see all the players working together and cheering each other on.
There was soem tough competition! We one our first match and then lost the next 4.
Be proud boys of what you have achieved!
SWIMMING:
It all starts next week for our Grade 5/6 students.
There will be 2 sessions departing ACPS from 10.20am and returning before lunch.
We are about to start our Annual Swimming Program. I urge every parent to encourage your child to be involved. I have been an Age Group Leader at Anglesea Nippers for some years and post covid we are seeing fewer children being competent swimmers due to being unable to do swimming lessons during COVID.
We seriously want our ACPS students as "waterproof" as possible for summer fun in pools, rivers and at the beach! See Compass for details.
Prep to Grade 2 students will swim at Aquarena.
Gr3-4 students will swim at Carey Bulleen for 2 weeks.
Gr 5-6 students will swim for one week at Carey Bulleen then will spend a day at Smiths Beach Philip Island learning to surf. Everyone loves this fun day!
WARRANDYTE COMMUNITY BANK GRANTS NIGHT
Our local Bendigo Bank has been a wonderful supporter of our school and many other community groups in the local area. We recently received $15,000 for our theatre upgrade project which will enhance the service we offer our school community and be an asset for many years to come. Thanks to the customers, Community Bank Warrandyte has returned a whopping $4.45 million dollars to Warrandyte and surrounding areas. Each year they return 80% of their profit to local projects through grants, sponsorships and donations.
Christmas Hamper Food Donation - CareNet
Normally on the final day of Term 4 we have a food drive to support families over the Christmas break. Once again, this year we are joining with CareNet to help provide Christmas hampers to families in need within our community. To have these hampers delivered in time for Christmas we are calling for food donations earlier than we have in past years. CareNet have provided us with lists of items needed the most to fill these hampers. Donations can be left at the office up until Wednesday 30 November when CareNet will collect them so they can commence delivery of hampers prior to Christmas.
Thanking you in advance for your support of this worthy cause.
ENROLMENTS:
Enrolments are still welcome for 2023. We are keen to receive enrolment forms as early as possible so we can plan for next year. Thank you so much.
