Athletics Carnival Reminders – Tomorrow

Our athletics carnival will be held tomorrow, Thursday 16 May at Merici College. All students from K-6 will travel to and from the carnival via bus. Please see the Compass event for details about the day. Buses will depart at 9:15am. Students are encouraged to wear house colours.

There are still a few families who are yet to provide consent. Please provide consent via Compass as soon as possible. If consent is not provided, students are unable to attend the carnival. If you need assistance with Compass, please contact your child’s teacher.

A sausage sizzle $3 and fruit box $1 can be purchased on the day for lunch. All other food and drink (fruit break & recess) will need to be sent to school as usual.

Indigenous Literacy Foundation

This year we will again support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) by hosting a Great Book Swap. The Great Book Swap will be held next term as part of our CBCA Book Week celebrations. To help make the day a success, we are asking each child to donate a book in good, second-hand quality. Books can be donated at any time this term and can be dropped at either the Front Office or given to your child’s teacher. On the day of the Great Book Swap each class will visit the book stall and be able to choose a book for a gold coin donation. All money raised will then be used by the ILF to purchase books for Indigenous children in remote communities. We hope you will help us to support this great initiative.
