Could you please delete the 6/3/19 for our next team meeting? With the busyness of the Sausage Sizzles over the coming weeks, we feel we don’t need a team meeting as well.
Please note that Wednesday 20/3/19 at Duncraig Community Room, we will have our next meeting. Our main agenda item will be ‘Preparing for the Quiz Night.’ We aim to be finished by 4:30pm.
Thank you
We have two Sausage Sizzles booked at Bunnings (Joondalup) in the coming weeks. I have emailed your teachers and they have requested that you attend a particular one, to avoid clashes with assessments etc.
Please ask your parents to drop you there by 8am and collect you at 4:30pm. It may be the case that some of you need to arrive a little later or be picked up a little earlier. Hopefully, all of you can do the entire day. We will need all hands on deck. If your parents have some free time and are able to join us, they are most welcome.
Friday 8 March – Brooke and Naomi, Kristin, Georgia, Rachael
Friday 15 March – Tara, Caleb, Ryan, Maya, Aimee and Emma
For each one, you will need to bring a large esky and a bag of ice. We will use these for keeping the canned soft drinks cold. I will provide an esky and ice for the sausages. Please bring an apron to wear. You may wear sports uniform on the day. Please bring your own snacks and lunch. You are allowed to have a sausage sizzle and free bottles of water throughout the day.
An email has been sent home. Any questions? Please ask.
Kind regards, Ms Tinney
We raised just over $1500 for Bali Life Foundation through our Sausage Sizzle efforts on the weekend. Thank you to everyone who was involved, especially to Mr Drake for being there for the whole day. Thank you too, parents, for getting our wonderful students there. Don’t we make a fantastic team?
Our next Sausage Sizzle is on Friday 8 March followed by Friday 15 March at Joondalup Bunnings again. Students and parents will be notified shortly as to which of the two sausage sizzles, students will be helping out with. Teachers have been informed and I have assigned you to a Friday that doesn’t clash with any assessments. Half of you will do one Friday, half of you the other. Parents will transport you directly to Joondalup Bunnings at 8am and pick you up from there at 4:30pm. Stay posted for more info.
In a previous meeting you paired up and discussed your initial ideas for activities. On Wednesday, we’d like you to tell us how your preparations are going. It is good to have at least 3 activities per pair planned. Try to come up with something active, something that requires concentration and something creative.
Hayleigh and Tayla: nail painting, colouring in, what else?
Caleb and Ryan: parachute game, card games (UNO), what else?
Aimee and Maya: face painting, what else?
Rachael and Emma: Aboriginal dot painting, what else?
Eliza and Tara: (Eliza was absent for this meeting and Tara hadn’t joined the team at this stage)
Naomi and Georgia: hair braiding & nail painting, colouring in, guitar and singing, what songs?
Brooke and Kristin: ??? ( I don’t have a record of what you came up with)
Other activity suggestions: picture book storytelling, craft, paper planes, origami, playdoh, sport – soccer, an aerobics class, dancing, lego, dot-to-dots, mazes, bingo, games like ‘duck duck goose’ or ‘dog and bone’ that are easy to set up and run,
We have made an amazing start to our fundraising with the Movie Night and Duncraig Sausage Sizzle, clearing the $1000 mark so far!
This Summer Holiday is the perfect time for you as an individual to do some fundraising on your own. (An important part of SSS Global Tours is fundraising for our partners overseas. In our case, that’s Bali Life Foundation. Although we will do a couple of group fundraisers each term, you are expected to be fundraising as an individual too.)
Here are some suggestions:
Have a chat with your parents about it. What connections do they have? What clubs or organisations do they belong to? Where might you find some buyers for your fundraising initiatives?
We think a reasonable fundraising target for you as an individual over the summer holidays is $200.
Do your best to raise money for Bali Life over the next 7 weeks and we’ll be checking in with you at our first meeting early next term to see how much you raised.
Well done Duncraig Team! Thank you Mrs Lund for helping out, especially with the messy clean up at the end. We raised some good money for Bali Life today. Thank you parents for supplying us with the sausages and buns. They sold well and we had a lot of fun selling them.
Duncraig students are off to Rite Journey Camp tomorrow and have their Home Coming Ceremony on Monday. It’s going to be fun and busy few days!
Looking ahead to next week, Thurs 29 November, we have a Sausage Sizzle booked for lunch time in the Quad. Duncraig Year 9s, you’ll be out of class for Period 4 on that Thursday to cook sausages and then busy during the lunch time selling them for $2.50 each.
Please provide on the Thursday – 1 Large Pack of BBQ Sausages and a similar amount of Hot Dog buns each. Coles does Thin Beef BBQ Sausages (22 pack) for $9 and Coles bakery has Hot Dog Rolls (12 pack) for $3.50. That would cost about $16 each. Please bring an apron and some tongs.
I’ll buy Barbecue sauce and Tomato sauce and bring an Esky with ice.
We have 11 students on the tour at Duncraig so if you all buy around 20 sausages and 20 rolls that would give us 220 sausages and buns. There are only Years 7-9 at school next week, so this will be plenty. Hopefully, we’ll make around $500 from this fundraiser.
I’ll send you a reminder and speak to you personally on Tuesday next week after the Rite Journey Extravaganza. We’ll also speak at House Assemblies and promote it from Tuesday next week.
Thanks everyone, Ms Tinney
Selamat Pagi Team
We just want to remind you of our meeting at Carramar campus tomorrow after school.
Duncraig students will meet at the Turning Circle immediately after school and be transported there and back in the school mini-bus. Our meeting is set for 3:45-4:45 pm. We will be discussing the upcoming Movie night, other fundraising initiatives and activities for our time with the kids in Bali next year.
Duncraig students, please let your parents know that you will be back at Duncraig campus around 5 pm.
See you tomorrow.
A reminder to the Duncraig students to please bring in your money and unsold tickets for our upcoming Movie Night Fundraiser tomorrow.
We wanted to meet you during Homeroom but due to a Remembrance Day Assembly we will need to meet you at Lunch Time instead.
See you tomorrow at lunch time in Carana.
Looking forward to seeing how many tickets you were able to sell!
Mrs Ryan has the tickets for the latest Harry Potter film called ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’. How exciting!
The movie is on Friday 16 November at Currambine Grand Cinemas and tickets are $15 each.
We make $5 per ticket to put towards fundraising. So let’s sell as many as we can.
Duncraig Students, please come to C3 Homeroom tomorrow during Homeroom time to collect your envelope with 10 tickets to sell. Money is due back in on Friday 9 November along with any unsold tickets.
Mr Drake will be in touch with Carramar Students about your tickets which will be given to you early next week.
