Hi Families,

The P&C have organised with the funding from Breaky Club four tables for the children to sit on while they have their breakfast in the morning and to share at lunch times. These tables are cleaned regularly by the beautiful tuckshop convenor and volunteers. By introducing these tables, we have managed to reduce the litter around the school of a morning. From what we have heard the children are loving them.

By now all families should have received their family journals and you are all enjoying them as much as the children enjoy the resilience project learning material at school.

The journals are designed to focus on gratitude, empathy and mindfulness to improve everyone’s mental health and not to mention provide a daily reflection and question time for the family to participate.

Cans for Change

You may have noticed the old tired can bin outside the swimming pool has been replaced by this wonderful new safe and shiny new one thanks to one of our handy parents Mr Kummerfeld.

If you have any cans you wish to put towards the schools Cans for Change donations, please feel free to drop them into our new bin or give them to your child to bring to school and place into one of the new green bins around the school grounds.

            

Father’s Day Stall/ Fundraising

This month we will be holding the Father’s Day stall on Wednesday 28^th August 2024. Our amazing Treasurer has just placed an order for all new items for the children to purchase from. There won’t be any pre order packs available this time sorry. Once the stock has arrived, we will post a sneak peek of what is available.

Our next fundraiser will be a “Design a Plate” which will be very handy for a Christmas gift for a loved one or a memento for the family. Once we have a date confirmed, order and design forms will be sent home and information will be provided in the newsletter and on the P&C Facebook page.

If you have any fundraising suggestions, please email them to communications.calliopess@gmail.com or direct message via facebook. Our committee are open to any suggestions.

Uniform Shop

We are urgently seeking volunteers to help pack orders fortnightly on a Friday for 1/2 hour (8:30-9am). If you are available and have completed your mandatory training, please email uniformshop.calliope@gmail.com

Warm Regards

Geoff, Jason, Angela & Lisa
