LEADERSHIP REPORT - Ginaya Yarnold, Donna Sprague and Kate de Bressac
Dear Parents and Carers
We have much to celebrate as a school community this week. Last Sunday, we were blessed with great weather for our Golf Day, the students are all back playing on the oval and our Year 4 students finally had their reflection day at the Youth Hub.
Golf Day
Last Sunday was a fantastic celebration of community spirit. We were so excited to have been able to return to this fun event. There was a wonderful spirit of generosity and working together to ensure the success of the day. Thank you to the Golf Day committee members who got to enjoy each other's company weekly to coordinate the event. We appreciate the time given by parents, staff and those family members of the committee who were either coerced or volunteered to help on the day.
Thank you again to each and every one of our sponsors who either paid money or donated goods. You have been acknowledged on our facebook page, on our digital sign at the front of the school and signage on the day. A special thanks goes to our two gold member sponsors who provided a $500 sponsorship: Naomi Hunter from Hem Real Estate and David Plews from Elders Real Estate.
Penance Reflection Day
On Thursday, Year 4 students finally had their Penance Reflection Day at the Youth Hub. This was postponed last term due to flooding, along with the sacrament itself. The students engaged well with the learning and fun activities on the day. It was made even more special by those lovely family members who were able to join us for the Prayer Service and Youth Hub games at the end of the day.
We are asking you to pray for students from Years 4, 5 and 6 who are making their Sacrament of Penance on their chosen night of either 25, 26 May or 2, 3 June.
World Record Attempt - Longest Washing Line of Socks
Thank you to all families who have donated socks to the Rotary West campaign to break the current world record for the longest clothesline of socks. Lonely or unloved socks can be dropped into the front office to contribute to this community event. If you would like to enter the lucky door prize to win vouchers at Hastings Co-op Stores please include a donation inside your sock, along with your name and phone number. These entries will be added to a separate collection to enter that draw.
Big Battery Blitz
Congratulations to our whole school community for their amazing support of the Big Battery Blitz. We have contributed to the safe disposal of 152 kilograms of batteries. Thank you for your support of this challenge and we hope that you continue to use your battery recycling boxes to keep those batteries out of the bin!
