Harmony Week 15-19^th March

Harmony Day Poster 2021

During Week 7 we invite families to contribute to our Harmony Week activities.

• Come into class and teach the students a song, dance or game which your family enjoys from your cultural heritage. Or maybe your child is confident enough to share it with their class!
• Share with the teacher a piece of music/song which has cultural significance for your family. A photo of your family gathering is welcome too.

On Monday 15^th March every child is invited to wear an item of orange clothing or an accessory to symbolise living in harmony in our multi-cultural Australia. If your child has clothing that reflects your family’s cultural heritage, we invite them to wear it for the day. Families can join our outdoor morning assembly at 9am.

We encourage you to put your compassion into action this Lent through your prayer, fasting and almsgiving by supporting Project Compassion. Each family should have received a Project Compassion box for their donations. These may be returned to school at any time until the end of term.

Saint Oscar Romero is our inspiration for Project Compassion 2021, so in his words let’s “Aspire not to have more, but to be more.”

The cost is $8.00 per pack (to be paid when placing order). Orders can either be placed at the office, by phone or via QKR.

Easter Raffle

Over the last couple of years, we have held an Easter raffle.  It has been very successful in the past where we have had over 35 baskets up for prizes! It has brought so much joy to our children and families, so we have decided to do it again!

We will draw the tickets at the afternoon assembly on the 26^th March, the week before Easter and Term 1 ends.

What do you need to do:-

We are asking every family to donate an egg/or eggs, or anything that resembles Easter to you (colouring books, stickers) so that we can put together lots of baskets for prizes. The more goodies we get, the more prizes there will be for the children to win!

Please start bringing items to the front office up until the 22nd March.

Baskets will be placed at the front office for collections.

We will be sending raffle tickets home to each household for purchase of $1 per ticket. (There is a separate note attached to the tickets for further information.) Please return the tickets to school with the correct money and tickets completed.

Tickets can be sold up until the 25^th March.

If you would like to purchase more than the 10 provided, please contact the front office for more. All the money we raise will go towards new school equipment and upgrading play spaces.

It is an exciting, fun time for the children in our community.

 Happy Hunting!!
