Fun Run

With perfect weather and plenty of parent helpers the fun run this year was a great success! Even with having to walk a bit further to and from the lake, the Prep students were keen to participate and raced off at the start.

Students and teachers got into the spirit of the day and dressed in house colours. Well done to all who dressed up.

Some students and teachers were very keen and impressed in running multiple laps whilst others were happy for a nice stroll around the lake.

1,195 laps were completed, equating to 1,434km in distance covered. This is approximately the distance of a return trip to Canberra, which incidentally is where the Year 8s recently returned from.

Being our main fundraiser for the year, the aim was to raise funds that would go to support the school in specific projects. A big thank you to all who contributed. Our total for this year is approaching $12,000. Well done!

Prizes for those who raised the most will be presented at the start of next Term.

Thank you to a number of St Andrews families who have donated prizes and local businesses such as Rapt Beautifully, Haines Educational, Toyworld and Tunza Fun Xtreme .

Finally thanks to all the parent helpers who got behind this fun and healthy event.

Icy Pole Fridays

Every Friday students can purchase an icy pole from the kitchen, located next to the Multi-Purpose Hall. Parents and Senior School students supervise the selling of the treats.

A reminder to parents who are rostered on, to swap with someone else if you are unable to attend. Thank you to the many parents who responded to the call for helpers last week. We now have enough parent volunteers on the roster.
