Big Day Out
To celebrate Catholic Education Week our Big Day Out: Combined Schools Celebration has been scheduled for Thursday 12th March.
We, along with children from St Augustine's and Annunciation Primary Schools, will celebrate Mass at St Augustine’s Church at 10:30am. Following Mass, the children will have an early lunch (BYO) and then we will walk across to the Sun Theatre for a movie afternoon.
Our Year Prep - 2 children will watch Farmageddon-Shaun the Sheep (G)
And our Year 3-6 children will get to see Jumanji 2.
If you have any concerns regarding your child watching Jumanji, which has a PG rating, please advise your child’s teacher so that alternative arrangements can be made.
The children will be supplied with a Mini Popcorn Combo (popcorn and drink) to enjoy during their movie. If your child is unable to partake in these, please provide an alternative 'treat'.
Children are to wear their full summer school uniform (including hat) and are to bring along their lunch in a disposable bag and their water bottle, all clearly labelled. Senior children could possibly bring a smalll back pack.
