As a school, we are working to improve our environmental footprint and as you may be aware, plastic is a big issue throughout the world.
One way that your family can make a real difference is by reducing the amount of food you purchase in plastic packaging.
To get you started on this journey, I encourage you to participate in this year’s Plastic Free July. You can pledge to go plastic free for just a day, a week, all of July, or forever! Here’s the link to the website: https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/

Dear Parents,

We are excited to continue the extra-curricular activities at the beginning of Term 3. Once again, parents will utilise the online booking system, Bookwhen.
We commence the activities for Term 3 in Week 3, on Monday 9 August 2021. These will run for 6 weeks, finishing in Week 8, ending Friday 17 September 2021.
Your child/children from PP to Year 6, are welcome to participate in an extra curriculum activity at their respective ELC or 3 – 6 campus (see list below of activities). It is important that children understand that they must commit to the activity for the whole 6 weeks. For the activities running after school, there is a short afternoon tea break, so please pack something healthy for them to enjoy. At the conclusion of their session, please be prompt when collecting your children in the afternoon. Please click on the following link https://bookwhen.com/ststephensschool_duncraig (or head to the Parent Portal and click on Plan the Day>Primary School Clubs and click on the Enrol button). Places are limited for each activity so please only enrol in one activity and allocation is on a ‘first in’ basis. Please continue to register your name on the wait list for an activity if it is full.
Parents are required to register using an email address and password then each student can be registered in preparation for enrolment. Please ensure that all areas are completed.
Activities will be open on Bookwhen for student enrolments on Wednesday 30 June.
When enrolments open on 30 June, registration is required before you can enrol your child in an activity.
We look forward to a term full of activity and fun.
