Pastoral Care News

Mini Vinnies:

Thanks to our Mini Vinnies efforts and the generosity of our school community, on Friday we raised $200 for Guide Dogs NSW. Everyone enjoyed the “election. We all had the opportunity to vote for the best puppy names for the Guide Dogs and we all learnt a lot about the voting process. The clear winner was the name “Clifford”, followed by “Joey”, then “Chevy” and poor “Reed” was a distant last. The good news is that because we managed to raise such a large amount of money, that we can now submit all four puppy names to Guide Dogs NSW. A special “thank you” to Mr MCann and Mrs West for preparing the yummy “democracy sausages”, and to Miss Jordan for assisting with pre-election promotion.  

Our next big activity is the “Winter Appeal” which will start next week and run for the month of June. Please have a look through your drawers and cupboards for any items of winter clothing and blankets. All the donated items will be sent to Vinnies to be given to people in need of warm items during the coming Winter. Please search your household to see what you can find… Our donation tubs will be waiting!

G.J’s. Activities:

Students are continuing to enjoy their special activities on Mondays and Fridays at Recess time. Recently, our Dance activity was heaps of fun and those who came along showed some really great dancing talents. The main idea of G.J’s. is to offer a range of different activities so that students can experience something new. We only have about 25 minutes so the activities are short and pretty simple activities. Now that parents are able to come into the school, if any parent has an idea for other activities, please have a chat with Ms Jensen so that we can arrange. We are happy to invite you to come along to show students a new skill.
