Mothers' Day 

This Friday, the 11th of May we will be hosting a Mothers' Day Breakfast similar to what we have for Fathers' Day. The idea of holding a breakfast rather than an afternoon tea or morning tea is to cater for our large number of working mums.

 

Breakfast will commence from 8:00am in the undercover area (unless we need to move to the hall if there is adverse weather) and mums and children are invited. We are calling for some dads to volunteer to work the BBQ on the morning so  if you are available to assist, please respond here: info@cckingsville.catholic.edu.au

 

Following the breakfast we will hold our traditional Mothers' Day Stall. There will be a great selection of gifts for the children to purchase for their mothers (and grandmothers) with prices generally ranging from $1.00 to $8.00.  It is up to each family to decide what is an appropriate amount of money for their child to spend at the stall.

 

We would love as many helpers as possible to assist with the set-up of the stall and the selling of the gifts on Friday from 8:45am -11:30am. It’s easy to volunteer…. Just turn up at 8:45am!

Uniform

A reminder that children are now expected to be in full winter uniform.

Glee Club

Our 2018 Glee Club made their debut performance at this week's Assembly.  In case you missed it, here is their performance of "These Days". 

Year 1/2 Gymnastics

Following the success of our Year 3/4 Gymnastic Program last term, this term our Year 1/2 Students will participate in the program conducted by Footscray City Gymnastics Club (FCGC) in Footscray, as part of the Australian Government's Sporting Schools Program.

 

Children will travel by bus to and from FCGC departing at approximately 11:45am and returning at approximately 1:15pm on the following days:

  • Monday 7th May
  • Monday 14th May
  • Monday 21st May
  • Monday 28th May

Children are required to wear their sports uniform on these days.

 

The program should provide a wonderful and different experience for our children.

NAPLAN

Next week our Year 3 and Year 5 children will be participating in the National Assessment Program-Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). In order to facilitate this we have needed to make some timetable changes, however it does NOT affect the days in which your child is to wear their sports uniform.

 

Have a wonderful week

God Bless
