P&F Fundraiser Jolly Soles Term 3 2022

 

St Mary of the Angels P& F will be running a Jolly Soles fundraiser at the beginning of Term 3. Families collect a box of socks to sell to family/friends/workmates.  

Each box contains a variety of sizes and styles of socks (these can be viewed at www.jollysoles.com.au).In order for the fundraiser to work and no socks be left unsold, we need you to nominate the number of boxes of socks that you would like to sell.  Each pair of socks sells for $6.00.  Please click on the link below to complete a Google Form indicating the number of boxes required for your family

Changes to After-school Arrangements

As parent/carers will know at St Mary of the Angels we have a permanent travel arrangements board for afterschool travel for our students.  However, life happens and change is inevitable. 

In order to streamline our after school processes and foster independence in our students we will now only be reading out the 'Daily Changes to Travel' for our students.  This will be done in class in the afternoon at 2:30pm.  We respectfully request ALL changes to student travel be to be received by the front office by 2:00pm.

 

As part of our change over, we suggest parents and carers to investigate the use of easy to remove/change afterschool bag tags to  remind your child of their travel arrangement for that day.  

Please see below for suggestions: note St Mary of the Angels is not advertising these websites they are purely suggestions. 

 

This change will commence on Monday 23rd May 2022.
