Vinnies Christmas Appeal

Some of our families have been asking if there is a particular need for any items for the Christmas Appeal. We are still in need of more of the following items:

• Cereal
• Drinks- Soft drinks, juice, cordial
• Hot drink items- tea, coffee, hot choc, longlife milk
• Spreads
• Christmas Puddings, Mince Pies, longlife custard
• Christmas crackers

We would like to encourage our Year 5/6 students and their families to continue giving as their baskets are not as overflowing as other grades!

From the DSM Desk

We have had increased attendance at our Wednesday Lunchtime defence club which has been wonderful. Our older students have been a great asset in helping to assist the younger students with activities. In recent weeks we have run craft, obstacle courses and scavenger hunt activities. We welcome all students to attend especially those of serving Military members.

Colour Run 

There are only a few more sleeps until the Colour Run! This is our first major fundraiser in many years and will go towards a new bank of Chromebooks. Here is some information for the day:

Final Funds Collection: Cash can be returned in envelopes on Thursday morning and Qkr! will remain open until Friday morning.

Timetable: Friday 25 November – Prize draw from 2:00-2:30 pm, Colour Run on the oval from 2:30-3:00 pm. Parents are welcome to attend.

Clothing: Students can wear free clothes for the whole day! The colour will show up best on white or light coloured clothing. Although it does wash out, we encourage you not to send your child/ren to school in their best shoes/clothing that day. Feel free to dress up with fun in mind. Wigs, crazy hair, tutus etc.

Transport home: As we expect this to be a messy event, we will be finishing the day outside, encouraging students not to re-enter the school. We know that some students ride the bus home or get into a car, and we want to ensure a clean ride home. Therefore, we recommend sending a poncho or bringing a towel to sit on. We do not encourage clothes changing as logistically we cannot accommodate every student changing at the same time in our facilities.

We want to thank everyone for their amazing efforts in donations and our sponsors for providing us with so many prizes! We are very much looking forward to a colourful, fun-filled day and can’t wait to share our grand total with you all.

THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!
