RAINBOWS FOR ROSE
On Monday 18th November, we would like to raise money for an additional friendship chair to remember the life of Rose McMahon. With the completion of the Grade 1 & 2 building and Renovated Art/music room we are looking to have another permanent friendship chair erected on the top playground. Due to the Rec Reserve being out of action we will postpone the colour run to a later date. This will give our P&F time to consolidate and coordinate the event. It was an agreed consensus from the parent representatives to not coincide the colour run with fundraising and prizes and just focus on celebrating the memory of Rose and bringing a gold coin to go towards the purchase of a new friendship chair.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ST ITA’S WHOLE SCHOOL/GRADE 6 GRADUATION PHOTO DAY
On Friday, 22nd November, Schoolpix will be attending to capture our whole school photo and our Grade 6 graduate’s photos. It is important that all students are dressed in full Summer school uniform.
All students must also be wearing black school shoes and their jumpers. Grade 6 students will need to wear their Grade 6 Bomber jackets.
Please do not send your child to school dressed in sports uniform. Children who usually have PE classes on a Friday are asked to please bring their sports shoes in their schoolbag. It is most important that all students are dressed in a presentable and uniform manner.
GRADE 6 GRADUATION
Our Graduation Mass and student presentation will be celebrated in St Ita’s church commencing at 6 pm on Thursday 5th December.
Due to the significant growth of our Grade 6 population and school, we have elected to celebrate our Graduation dinner at the Drouin Football Club rooms. Our Graduation dinner will be catered by Alimentos Catering who will provide a sit-down, two-course dinner which includes a main meal and dessert. Soft drinks can be purchased over the bar, and a reminder that this is a school function therefore this is an alcohol-free event.
The cost of this event will be $32 for adults and $16 per child. The graduation event is for parents and Grade 6 students only, unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to host siblings or extended family. All family members are welcome to attend our Graduation Mass.
Closer to the event, we will advise parents to park on Victoria St or in the Church carpark and walk up entering the gate off Victoria St near the Scout Hall as car parking is limited at the ground due to the renovations.
KINECT2DANCE
In Term 4 our students will be participating in the Kinect2Dance program which runs for the full term and culminates with a whole school performance. Today we had our first dance lesson for the week and the children have come back buzzing with excitement. The lesson schedule will be as follows
8.50-9.30 - Grade 56
