Lourdes on the Lawn
Wow, what a wonderful community day we had on Saturday. We were incredibly blessed with a beautiful day – we thank all the people for their time and effort coordinating such a marvellous event for the families of our school.
World Teachers’ Day
We are celebrating World Teachers' Day on Thursday, 30th October – remember to wish your teacher a happy day! We thank the P&F for supporting our Morning Tea for our staff.
Red Walk for Safety
This Friday 31st October we have our “Red Walk for Safety”. We have our Safety Talk Assembly led by 2G, followed by our Walk in Red around the block, then a super dooper when we get back to school. Our walk is to remind us that we should always walk with adult or older friend to keep ourselves safe. The children will learn the important messages of Recognise, React and Report, Everyone has the right to feel safe and “from my head to my toes, I can say what goes”. Our gold coin donation will raise some money for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation to help them continue their good work of keeping kids safe.
The children need to bring a gold coin to donate, wear something sun-safe red, please make sure your child has a hat and a water bottle.
The plan for the day is:
8:45 – Safety Talk Assembly led by 2G - Hall
9:10 – Walk around the block
10:15 – Morning tea at school - a zooper dooper will be provided for all students – kindly supported by our P and F.
Please note these times are approx. and we will be reliant on fine weather for this to occur. Current forecast is for a warm, fine day. Fingers crossed!. Please ensure your child has their water bottle and hat.
There is no assembly tomorrow due to our red walk for safety on Friday.
St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal
November is the month of our St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal – we are collecting non-perishable groceries, toiletries, Christmas treats, and if you wish - gift cards for our community’s needy families at Christmas time. Please send your grocery items and gift card donations to your child’s classroom. Gift cards can come from grocery stores, toy stores, or pharmacies.
