Hi everyone,
Out of Uniform ‘Footy Colours’ Day LAST DAY OF
TERM 3
Money raised on Friday, 21st September, last day of Term 3,
will be forwarded to the Drought Relief fund as agreed at the
August School Council meeting. Children should wear their
footy colours. Each student participating is asked to bring a
gold coin donation towards this important appeal on the day.
End of Term Dismissal
Students will be dismissed at 2.30pm on Friday, 21st
September. We will have lunch from 1.30pm until 2.30pm,
but due to Department of Education regulations we are unable
to dismiss students until 2.30pm. However, parents may collect
children at 1.30pm if they wish, but they MUST be signed out
at the office. There will be no canteen orders, uniform shop,
or breakfast club on the final day of term.
Term 4 commences on Monday, 8th October.
Energy Breakthrough Colour Run Success!
Last Thursday the majority of the school took part in the
inagural Energy Breakthrough Colour Run fundraiser. On
behlaf of the EB team I would like to thank the community for
their generous support of this entertaining activity as they have
raised approximatley $10,000! Many parents joined the staff to
throw the coloured powder at the children as they ran past.
Hopefully this will become an annual event for the Energy
Breakthrough team.
Advice on contaminated strawberries from Department of
Education
As a precaution, schools are asked to remind their communities
to follow the current health advice that while it is safe to
purchase strawberries, until advised consumers should cut
them up before consuming them.
This advice currently applies to all strawberries.
Anyone in possession of the Donnybrook, Berry Obsession and
Berry Licious, Love Berry, Delightful Strawberries, and Oasis
strawberries should dispose of them or return to the place of
purchase. These brands have been removed from sale.
Anyone who finds a contaminated strawberry should contact
their local police station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Music News You or your child may have noticed a colourful
mural which has been evolving over the last few
weeks on the music room wall?! Before the end
of term it is hoping to be completed with the
additions of some lucky students from grades 3

Dr. Suess inspired characters in black
silhouettes. Thank you to all those students who
submitted their designs – make sure in Term 4,
you check out the wall, and see if you can spot
your creation painted in black silhouette!
