Multicultural Day
On Monday we celebrated the great diversity of the cultures represented in our school community. It was wonderful to see our children dressed in their national clothes and colours. There was a buzz of excitement and a sea of colour around the school as our children participated in their chosen activities.
Congratulations and a huge thank you to Signora Anderson for the many hours she spent planning a very successful day of exciting experiences for the children.
Thank you also to our wonderful parents and grandparents who assisted with the activities.
School Disco
This year’s School Disco will be held on Thursday 20th September (second last day of term) between 6:30pm and 8:00pm in our community hall. This is the social event of the year for our children and should prove a huge hit!
There will be adults assigned to the various supervision tasks throughout the evening so we ask parents to just drop their children off and return to collect them at 8:00pm sharp. If you would like to volunteer to assist on the night with supervision, ticket sales, canteen sales etc. please indicate so via the form on CareMonkey. Working with Children Checks are essential.
The cost for the School Disco is $5.00 per child, payable at the door on the night. Once inside, children will not be permitted to leave the hall until the conclusion when they are collected by their parents. Drinks and snacks as well as glow sticks and show bags will be available for purchase on the night at the Side Show Alley stall.
Our school disco is always a popular event on the calendar and this year will be no exception!
Timetable Changes - Planning Weeks
Next Tuesday 18th September is the planning day for the Year Prep, 1 and 2 class teachers. The children in those year levels will have double sessions of Art, Italian and Physical Education that day. The normal school timetable will operate on Thursday 20th September.
End of Term Three
Just a reminder that Term 3 ends on Friday September 21st. Children will be dismissed at 1:00pm that day.
Have a wonderful week
God bless
