Term 2, Week 7


Good morning and welcome to week 7,

Interschool Winter Carnival
It is definitely going to be a winter carnival!
Year Five and Six classes will be participating in the South West Primary School Association Interschool Winter Carnival on Thursday, 13th June. Please refer to the note for any specific details on what the children will need to bring with them.

Please note, that all children will need to arrive at school NO LATER than 08:15am to be ready for the bus.

World Refugee Day
Next week is world Refugee Week and Refugee Day is the 20th June. We are planning a rice day to raise awareness of the plight of Refugees. This year this will be an experience, rather than a fundraiser, although if families want to they might make a contribution to the Caritas boxes.

All students are welcome to participate in rice for lunch at no charge. They will be given a serve of plain boiled rice only. We are trying to help them understand what it means to go without. If parents think that their child will require additional sustenance on the day they are welcome to pack extra food.

Students will be asked to bring their own bowl and spoon that is clearly labelled with their name on it. This will take place on the Friday of week 8 (21st of June).
