Friday (Grandparent's Day, Andrew Chin, Mass)

GRANDPARENTS/GRANDFRIENDS MASS;  Friday, October 28th at 9.00 am (PLEASE NOTE TIME)

This Friday we have our Grandparents / Grandfriends Mass, 9am at St Mary's Church, we ask that you find a seat at the church prior to 9 am as children will be sitting with their classes.  We would love to have all our special Grandparents and Grandfriends at school with us on this day.

 

After Mass, Grandparents are invited back to the classes to share in morning tea with their grandchildren (there will be tea and coffee provided in the hall)  We ask all children to bring a plate to share for morning tea.  

Colour Fun Run

We had a blast on Friday with the Colour Fun Run. (I think the teachers had more fun than the children).  It was a huge success as a fundraiser and with the enthusiasm from everyone.  It was great to hear the sound of laughter and see the smiles on everyones faces.  Check out the photos on the school Facebook page.

You are able to go online now and order the prizes.   This needs to be done by October 31st.  If you are having trouble with this please let me know and I will work with them to order their prize.  It is great seeing so many children opting to donate to Kidscan rather than choosing toys.  Prizes will be delivered to school.
