Good afternoon everyone,

After the first week of the AFL season, it looked fantastic for the boys in purple. Great win to start the season, let’s hope this continues throughout the coming weeks.

Harmony Day – Friday 29th March
The children will be participating in a series of activities throughout the whole day that celebrate the importance of living in harmony with many different cultures.

After the prayer Liturgy in the morning, the students will move between classes in their groups to complete 3 different activities. 

After this there will be a shared recess between the Year Four classes. So we are asking for all students in Year 5 to bring a plate for a shared morning tea on this day.

We would like to girls to bring a plate of savoury food and boys to bring a plate of sweet food to share. If you are able to make this reflective of your families culture that would be great!

Parent Teacher Interviews:
I have placed a schedule up on the front door of the class, if you can please write down your name on a time that suits. In week 10 they will be conducted at the following times:
-     Tuesday 9th April (3:10 – 5:30)
-     Thursday 11th April (3:10 – 5:20)
If you are unavailable for either of these days. Please let me know and we can work out a morning or something other time that suits.
