BIG thank you to all the parent helpers who have made costumes and wielded a hot glue gun to assist in getting us stage ready.
Book Week Costumes
One of the areas I consistently challenge students on is being mindful and considerate of those around us. What we wear and how we behave often effects not just ourselves but those we come in contact with. For this reason we want to extend this consideration to how we dress on days such as Book Week costume day. Please reflect on the following when preparing for book week:
- Students should not come to Book Week dressed as witches, warlocks (Harry Potter characters are permitted)
- Students should wear a costume that is congruent with their gender. Eg male students should dress as male book characters.
- Students should not bring with them any weapons, swords or knives as part of their costumes.
- Students should not represent anything from the occult or spiritual realm such as ghosts.
- Students are encouraged to bring the book that their character is in. (this is not compulsory).
There are many many book characters that do not involve purchasing a costume and could easily be created using clothes and accessories already at home. I look forward to seeing the creativity of our students on this fun and exciting day.

Let’s Recycle some Plastic to Create some Art
During Term 3 students are encouraged to collect and bring into school plastic lids for a ‘Recycling’ Art Project. Please wash the lids, remove any white insert and pop the lids directly into the buckets located outside L1 (Primary Science room) Kindy and Lunch eating area.
We will then sort the colours and sizes.
