First Good Citizens For The Term

Red and Yellow Day This Friday

We are raising money for Ronald McDonald House this Friday.  Children can dress in red and yellow to show their support for this worthy cause.  Even if they don't dress in red and yellow they can still bring along a donation on the day.

Empty Classroom Day - May 18th

On the 18th of May we will be having an empty classroom day to celebrate the power of self-directed play. On this day all classes will be ‘learning’ outside and play will completely be directed by the children. We would love for anyone that is able to join in this day with your children. Not to direct the play, but to play with them. This might look like building huts, creating mudslides, creating games, making obstacle courses….play is only limited by imaginations. We encourage you to send along anything you think children would love to use in their play on this day (please do not expect to get it back) like safe pieces of wood, tyres, cardboard boxes, old sheets, old pots and pans etc etc. We do not want toys however. The aim of this day is for children to be creative and use their imaginations. We are also hoping that younger and older children will play together inventing games and using their imaginations. The children are very excited about this day. It is important that all children wear old clothes on this day and come prepared with a change of clothes, as there is a high chance they will get dirty. If the weather is not completely favourable we will postpone and have this on another day.

Awards Assembly Tomorrow

Hi everyone, our awards assembly will be held at 12.00pm tomorrow. We hope that this will be in the courtyard, but with the predicted weather it is likely we will all pile into Room One. We will hand out Principal awards, Good Citizen awards and announce the overall winner for the term. This is likely to take 15-20 minutes. Everyone is welcome. Please note it is not a half day tomorrow and the day will finish at 2.55pm as normal. The only time we have a half day is at the end of the year.

Art Exhibition / Open Evening

This will be coming home with your child tomorrow.  Please look out for it.

Art Exhibition/Open Evening - 11th April 6.00pm-7.30pm

We warmly invite you and your family to come along to our Art Exhibition/Open Evening.  Classrooms will be open for you to wander through, look at the work on walls, look at books, and talk to your child’s teacher informally if you wish to.  You are welcome to wander through every class even if it is not one your child is in to have a look at the art on display.  

Every child has one piece of artwork for sale on the night.  This will be $20.  We are not able to do effective copies of these, so once the one piece is sold that is it.  We are sorry if this causes any upset.  Once ordered the art will be framed and sent home to you in Term 2.  All orders must be in by the 13th.  If paying on the night, payment can be made in the library.

You can order prior to the evening if you are unable to come, by filling in the form attached to this note.

There will be no eftpos available as this is a PSG fundraiser, please refer to the attached flier for payment methods.

There will be extra art for sale in the library that Kelly Glasgow has been working on with different groups of children.  These pieces will be $30 and can be purchased and taken away on the night.

Wine tasting will also be available in the library.  With orders being taken by the PSG.  No alcohol is being sold on the premises.  Due to the fact that there will be wine in the library, children will not be allowed in this area, they can wait in their classrooms while you browse the extra art, eat some cheese and taste some wine.

We hope to see you on the night.  Please support this fundraiser, all funds raised will go directly towards purchasing ICT equipment for the classrooms.
