St Vincent de Paul Appeal

Each year, our school conducts a collection of goodies for the St Vincent de Paul Society. Year levels are given the task of providing different items to help provide Christmas cheer to those in our area who need help. The Year One classes have been asked to provide treats and lollies. When you are next doing the grocery shopping, could you please consider helping this worthy cause and put a little extra for someone else in your trolley? Please send the collected items to school in a plastic bag with your child. Thanks in advance of your generosity!

Swimming lessons

A reminder that we begin our three week swimming program on Monday 3^rd November (next week).  These lessons will occur on Mondays and Fridays. Please ensure your child has ALL of their personal items labelled, including school socks and shoes.

As our lesson on Mondays is at 10.00am, each child may arrive at school with their swimmers under their school uniform. Please ensure that you pack underwear in their swimming bag.

On Friday, our swimming lesson is not until 12.30pm so they are NOT to wear their swimmers under their uniform on this day.  The children will change at school and travel to and from swimming in their swimmers.

The children will need the following items for swimming:

• Swimmers (no bikinis or board shorts)
• Towel
• T-shirt (to wear over togs, to and from the pool)
• Swimming cap (compulsory) **baby powder inside the cap makes it easier for the children**
• Thongs or other slip on shoes
• Goggles (optional - but recommended!)

 If you have any questions relating to swimming please don't hesitate to contact me.

Excursion

This Wednesday is our excursion to Old Beenleigh Town.  Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered to attend as helpers.  As I so many offers I had to pick names out of a hat to be fair.  If you indicated that you would like to come, by now you should have received a note letting you know if you will be attending.

For the excursion, children will need a drink bottle with water, lunch and afternoon tea.  As we will not be taking lunchboxes, please pack both lunch and afternoon tea together in a plastic bag.  This will need to be food that does not need to be kept cold.

Please ensure that your child is at school on time, as we need to get organised and be on the bus ready to leave by 9am.
