Sports Day

Hi families,

*CORRECTION, there is no Colour Run this term*

Just a reminder that Wednesday 10th April is Sports Day. Students are encouraged to wear their team colours, however, if they have nothing, can wear their school uniform.

Students are encouraged to bring a drink bottle, hat and if allergic/sensitive to the sunscreen we have, bring their own.

Below are the team colours and a guide of the day.

 

5TN Caritas Collection

5TN have done an outstanding job raising money by collecting bottles and cans for change. Our class total in term 1 is a whopping $177.40, which will be donated entirely to Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion initiative.


Also a big acknowledgment to Nelson who reached 50 dojo points and used it to teach a lesson today about F1 cars. He took a long time crafting his lesson and thinking of an activity and the class thoroughly enjoyed it! I can’t wait to see what other lessons the class has planned…


We hope you have a lovely Easter, see you back on Tuesday next week for Parent Teacher Interviews!

Kind regards,

Thao Nguyen
