Father’s Day Gifts

This Friday we had a few beautiful Mum’s who volunteered to come and open our Father’s Day stall. If your child missed out on buying a present please see Mrs Fry in the office as there are still a lot left over.

Father’s Day Breakfast 30^th August

If you have not as yet placed your order for Father’s Day breakfast, please do so before Wednesday 28^th August so we can order the necessary food.

We will begin the morning at 7:30am with breakfast followed by Liturgy led by Stage 2 at 8:50am. Once liturgy has concluded we will have an aluminium foil boat making competition which the Dad’s and children will need to create a boat that holds the most counters to be a winner. There will be ten winners on the day. Aluminium foil will be provided you just need to come up with your design so start thinking.

Grandparents’ Day 13^th September

I am looking for grandparents who would be willing to volunteer to share with a group of children their experience when they were kids on the 13^th September.

Some ideas of what you might like to share:

• Games you played and teach them one
• Your favourite book you liked as a kid and maybe read it to the group
• What your classroom looked like- blackboards
• What you used to do on the weekends- going to the movies, buying hot chips for a few dollars - got you so much you could share with mates.
• Bring in your old school photos and talk about your uniform, friends.
• Bring in your certificates that you got when you were at school.
• Talk about sport when you were a kid.

I am sure there are other ideas that you could come up with.

Please email me if you would like to be part of this. We need at least 15 people for this to work so the children can rotate throughout the afternoon. I will need to have names by Friday 30^th August.  My email is patricia.dunn@mn.catholic.edu.au

Mission Statement Three

Our third mission statement is

                In truth we LIVE, learning and growing together in Christ.

I am looking for parents to let me know what they think this says to them. In the beginning of term 4 we will have CSO coming out to create another video for us and I would love to be able to have at least two parents who are willing to share their ideas on what the above mission statement means to them. Please email me with your response. I am happy for you to do this with your friends. My email is patricia.dunn@mn.catholic.edu.au
