Important Information

Hi everyone

Just some last minute details.

Could everyone please bring a teatowel tomorrow to wear as shepherds for our prizegiving class item.

Also please remember to send your child along with one or two bags as there is heaps of stuff to come home tomorrow.

Several children have indicated to me that they still have reading books at home so please have a big hunt tonight and return these tomorrow as we really need them, especially when there is a reading group of four or five children.

LAST DAY
Monday 17th December-
We are open until 1pm. Due to the shift for 2019, this day will primarily be used to move final aspects of classes and to clean up spaces for the next teacher moving in. If you do not wish your child to come for this activity we are happy for them to stay home.
Friday 14th - all classroom student furniture will be moved into their new spaces.

Thanks

Sue and Kate

Week 9 Term 4

Hi everyone

Well, this is the last blog for the year. The time has just flown by!

What's on this week?
Junior School Christmas Crafts: Monday 10th & Wednesday 12th
The children will rotate in mixed age groups, completing two Christmas activities each. In Room 7 we will be making nativity scenes.

Monday 10th: Mufti Mania Day
The cultural leaders are raising funds for a school in Fiji that was devastated by the latest cyclone. Dress up as your favourite book character - bring the book too if you have it, and a coin as your donation.

Tuesday 11th: Graduation Mass beginning at 5pm
All children are expected to attend in school uniform. This is the moment when we farewell our Year 8 students as they begin their high school years. An item for the Community Foodbank would be really appreciated.

Thursday 13th: Prizegiving in the church at 1pm.

Student Council have boxes of batteries for sale, individual packets $5 - could be useful for those Christmas presents. See Chrissy in the office - the more we sell, the closer we are to having that swing.

Last Day of School
School finishes at 1pm Monday 17 December.  Many teachers are shifting classes and resources for next year, and this Friday 14th is the big shifting day. Please bring an extra bag to school on Thursday 13th, as exercise books and art work will be coming home.

Thank you all so much for your support this year. Have a happy and safe Christmas and enjoy the holidays.

MUFTI MANIA ON MONDAY

Hi Everyone

On Monday the children are to wear mufti. The student council would like them to dress as their favourite book character if they like. If they come just in mufti maybe they could bring their favourite book to school to share.

The gold coin donation is going to support a school in Fiji that was devastated by the latest cyclone.

Have a lovely weekend - summer is finally here!
