SOCKTOBER
Our mini vinnies team have organised for all students to participate in 'Socktober' to celebrate Global Missions Week on Friday, 28th October. All students are encouraged to come to school wearing their craziest socks, or their craziest hair.
To help contribute to fundraising for Global Missions Week we ask that children bring a non-perishable can of food to donate to the Missions.
VOLUNTEER INDUCTION SESSIONS
Parents and volunteers wanting to help out in the classroom, can attend volunteer induction session on the following dates and times;- Thursday 27th October 2022 @ 3.00pm
The session will take approximately 15 minutes, and we have scheduled them so that they coincide with pick up and drop off times. If you have previously completed the induction training there is no need to attend another session, this is specifically aimed at parents/volunteers who have not attended an induction session.
A reminder to all volunteers, you will need to sign in at the Admin Office prior to heading down to the classroom, please ensure you have your current Working With Children Check (WWCC) with you as we will need to make a copy for our records.
