Seussical Jr Production
What a magical week we had last week! Our students were AMAZING in their performance of our Seussical Jr Musical and we were so proud of them! Most shows were sold out and we can’t thank you enough, our wonderful community, for your ongoing support. Sincere thanks to Miss O’Connor for leading this year’s production and to all staff involved in making this experience a wonderful opportunity for our students.

Buckets of Love – LAST CALL
Starting Over Support (SOS) are an offshoot of People Who Care. They do not receive any funding and rely on volunteers and donations. They support individuals and families who have suffered domestic crisis. Once the consumers have been granted housing, SOS provide essential items for a functioning household, from the front door mat through to the back door mat.
Our Primary School will be supportive this charity organisation once again this year by putting together “Buckets of Love”. We would love for each Primary class to fill two buckets. Our Captains will be distributing buckets to all classrooms this week and we would appreciate if our generous community could donate any items from the suggested list . This fundraiser will close on 15 September. We thank you in advance for your donation.
Creating your “Bucket of Love”; fill it with any of the items listed below:
• Micro Cloths
• Toilet Cleaner
• Toilet Brush
• Sponges and Scourers
• Laundry Liquid
• Dishwashing Liquid
• Spray and Wipe
• Pegs
• Disinfectants
• Dustpan and Brush
• Mops and Brooms
