Community Update #3.5

First Reconciliation for Year 3 and Year 4 

Due to the Covid restrictions, First Reconciliation for Year 3 and Year 4 is now postponed to Term 4. We will let you know the new arrangements for this once we confirm the details with Fr Siby.

Daffodil Day

Thanks to everyone who is supporting Daffodil Day. Thanks to the children who have made their spoons and have put them in our garden of hope. The garden is growing and we look forward to seeing more spoons in the coming week.

The daffodils we ordered have all sold it. Thank you. We will let you know the arrangements for collection during the week.

In lieu of gold coin donations, we have a covid safe fundraising page this year. Thanks for all of the donations so far on our school fundraising page. You can access our page at this link.

Although, we will still be in lockdown, we encourage the children and parents to wear yellow on Friday 27 August to show our support for the Cancer Council and the Daffodil Day Appeal.

Weekly Assembly Awards

You can view the awards from last week on our virtual assembly video. The lockdown transformations have begun again. Let's see who will visit our garden of hope in the next assembly. 

Parents & Friends Update

Fathers Day / Special Friends Gifts - coming soon

The P&F have been sourcing a gift for each child to personalise at home to give to their Dad or a special friend on Sunday 5th September. We will soon open a payment option in the CDF Pay portal for $5 per child. The gift packs will be available to collect from the school portico over the last week of August (from Monday 30th Aug). More information soon!

Trivia Night - Save the date: Saturday 11th September

We planned to host an in-person trivia night earlier this term. Since then, we have been busy converting it into an online event to bring our school community together in a covid-safe manner. While we hope to have fewer restrictions by September, density requirements and the required planning time to obtain permits makes an in-person event difficult to coordinate currently. Please save the date for a low-cost, fun night at home with trivia, games and prizes. 

Proceeds from all P&F events this year are going toward the Michelle Barclay memorial track.
