The MAG Issue 5
We've just received the latest issue of The MAG from the printers. Hard copies are available for our school families - you can pick one up at either the primary office or main office. The main office is open during the holidays from 9am - 3pm. We'll also be publishing it online soon, for those who prefer the digital version.
Some Easy Ways to Thank a Teacher on World Teacher's Day
From https://www.worldteachersday.edu.au/
World Teachers’ Day will be celebrated across Australia on Friday 29 October 2021, a bit later than the international day due to our school holidays. It’s a great chance to thank teachers. The ideas below, together with our free downloadable World Teachers’ Day Celebration Kit , make it super easy for you (or your child) to thank a teacher.
1. Thank you note/drawing
A short note, email or drawing from you or your child will be sure to make any teacher smile. Try thinking of something the teacher might have done recently to make it more personal.
2. Personalised card
A personalised card/digital card is another easy and thoughtful way to say thanks. The Celebration Kit includes World Teachers’ Day thank you cards to decorate and add your note to.
3. Badges
Check out the badge templates in the Celebration Kit. Print out and create a badge for the day. Or if your child is learning remotely, use them as virtual stickers to copy into the online learning space for a virtual and easy thank you on the day.
4. Small gift ideas
Chocolates, tea, or even a packet of native plant seeds are popular small gifts for teachers. Use the gift tags in the Celebration Kit to add a personal touch. If your school’s teachers are teaching remotely, maybe a coffee voucher from a local business (it will help the local business too).
5. Get involved with school celebrations
Ask the school leadership team or other parents/carers if there’s anything being planned for the day. You might be able to help organise a morning tea, or some thank you messages for teachers. Or perhaps propose some ideas if nothing is planned.
6. Show your support on social
The Celebration Kit has graphics for Facebook and Twitter. Tag other parents/carers online and encourage them to show their support.
Join the celebrations by saying thanks to teachers on the day. Tag and follow #BrightFuture and @aitsl if you post on Twitter or Facebook and you’ll be part of all the action.
Tour De Kids Cycling Challenge
Once again Moama Anglican Grammar will be participating in a charity bike ride. Last year we topped the fundraising charts in the schools category for the Great Cycle Challenge. We are completing a new challenge this year and it would be great to get some more students involved in the challenge. Staff members Kevin Turner and Darcy Hall are the coordinating staff members, and they hope to get at least 10 students signed up.
This year we are participating in Starlight Foundations 'Tour De Kids' cycling challenge to raise money for sick kids from September 1-30. There is still time for you to sign up!
How it works:
- Sign up, choose your fundraising goal and your distance.
- Sign up to our team (Moama Anglican Grammar)
- Begin your warm up, practicing your daily goal before it begins
- Gather donations to help this amazing cause
- You have the month of September to complete your distance goal, using Strava to track your rides.
- There are plenty of prizes along the way as you raise money for the Starlight Foundation including Bandana's and Cycling Jerseys.
If any students (or staff) are interested and would like to sign up, or have questions, please contact Mr Hall. For more information online, visit:
