Tomorrow is the Run-A-Thon!!

This event is non-uniform, the theme is athletic / sporty.  Running shoes are compulsory for the event, particularly for years 3 – 8 in the park.

Years 0, 1 & 2 will be running laps around the school astroturf area.  

Years 3 to 8 will be running at Glendowie Park opposite the school (using the pathway near Colchester Ave).  We will be using the concrete path as a circuit. 

Reminders for Friday 21st August – Cultural Celebration Parade & Run-A-Thon sponsor sheets!

We appreciate that this is a very busy school term so please note reminders for tomorrow;

Cultural Celebration Parade

At approximately 9:00 am (weather permitting), we will have our Cultural Celebration Parade on the astroturf. We invite children to dress in cultural clothing, colours, or symbols that represent their own heritage or the country/culture their class has been exploring throughout the week. Simple and symbolic representations are perfect—the focus is on celebrating our school’s rich diversity.

Families are warmly welcome to stay and watch the parade. 

Children can remain in their cultural clothing for the remainder of Friday 21st August. The school uniform can also be worn if that is your preference.

Run-A-Thon sponsor sheets

If you are using a sponsor sheet, they are due back tomorrow. Please have students return sheets to their class teachers.

Thank you,
