• Playground equipment on the oval will be out of bounds.
• We remind you that all younger and older children need to be seated with parents during the concert.
• We encourage and welcome all family members – grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.
• We recognise that parking will be limited on the day, but please do not park on our neighbour’s lawns or block driveways.

Wrapper Free Thursday
Last week it was fantastic to see an initiative of the Year Six Sustainability Ministry ‘Wrapper Free Thursday’.

In their planning, the students have been very observant regarding what we can do to look after our environment. They decided that there would be one day every two weeks where we, as a school community, worked together to organise for our food to be brought to school in packaging that would be taken home – the bins would be used only minimally on these days.

Thank you to all the parents who supported us by ensuring that food packed for school today was all in containers that could be taken home.

The Sustainability Ministry will be recognised that Year 2 & Year 5 both came a draw for the limited amount of wrappers they used throughout the day.

The next ‘Wrapper Free Thursday’ is Thursday 29 November 2019. We hope to see even less wrappers on this day!
