Easter Raffle/Guess A Jar

 

A booklet of 5 raffle tickets were sent home last week. Tickets are $1 each.  Please return payment and tickets to the office by Friday 1st April.  If you would like to purchase more tickets, they can be purchased in the courtyard before and after school. 

We also have a “Guess A Jar” where children can guess how many Easter eggs are in the jar.  50c per guess.  This will take place in the courtyard before and after school.

The raffle will be drawn on Tuesday 5th April along with the winner of the Guess A Jar.

 

Hot Cross Bun Fundraiser

Together with Bakers Delight Oakleigh, we are holding a Hot Cross Bun Fundraiser for Easter.  A 6-pack of hot cross buns can be purchased for $8.00 with $2.50 being given back to our school.  You will be able to order Traditional, Chocolate Chip, Fruitless or Apple Cinnamon hot cross buns.  An envelope was sent home on Monday.  If you would like to place an order, please complete the details on the envelope and return with payment to the office by next Thursday 31st March.  Orders will be distributed to the children on Monday 4th April.

 

Cake Raffle

Our cake raffle will return on each Friday in term 2 and 3.  We have a roster in the office if you would like to bake a cake (or cupcakes, biscuits) in donation.  Please let the office know if you would like to add your name to the roster.

 

Class Representatives

We still require Class Representatives for 1/2 KG, 3/4 H, 5/6 C, 5/6 I and 5/6 S and 5/6 SC.  The sign-up sheet is in the office foyer.  If you would like to volunteer, but unable to come into school, please call the office and they will note your name on the sign-up sheet.

Below is a description of the Class Representative role:

Every class at Christ Our Holy Redeemer Primary School has two parent class representative positions. We are asking parents to please volunteer for roles.  The class representative role is very important to our school community.  It provides support to the teachers and acts as a liaison between teachers and parents in the school.

The role of class representatives:

  • Be supportive of staff and the whole school ethos.
  • Invite parents to include their contact details (ask parents their preferred form of communication) for communication of class messages and events etc.
  • Contact new families on arrival and personally welcome them to the school community.
  • To organise opportunities for the parents in your child’s class to meet socially and help them get to the know each other.  Events might include family picnic or parent’s dinner.
  • Class representatives, and other class helpers, are respectful of everyone’s privacy and ensure that the confidentiality of teachers, students and parents is maintained at all times.
