Crazy Hair Day |
Years 5 and 6 Sport |
The Junior School Council will hold a fundraiser tomorrow to raise money for the RSPCA and for research into saving the Tasmania Devil which was classified as an endangered species in May this year. Students can wear casual clothes and crazy hair and are asked to bring a gold coin donation to school. |
Our last round of APS sport for the year was a lovely afternoon with a light breeze. Badminton had a very close competition against Carey Kew, winning by 3 games. Touch played Caulfield Malvern in another close encounter, winning 5-3. Water Polo had a mixed round with the Yr 5 team playing a great round robin at Haileybury although a mix up saw the Yr 6 team with no opposition for the afternoon. The Athletics team performed well with more great times and impressive field results. Of note was Madeleine Palmer with 1.25m in the high jump. A big thankyou to all students and staff for another wonderful term of APS sport. Next Wednesday there will be mixed games at Bulleen for all Year 5 and 6 students. Adrian Cresswell |

School Dismissal
Times |
Year 6 House Tshirts |
We wish to clarify the last day of term is Wednesday 10 December. As in previous years children will be dismissed at staggered times to avoid congestion in the carpark. Year 6 - 11.30 am Parents we request you collect your child promptly as staff have a commitment immediately after School finishes. After School Care will NOT operate. School buses will depart by 12.20pm. |
At the end of each year Year 6 students are given the opportunity to purchase their house tshirt for $15, the cost price of the shirt. If you do not wish to retain the tshirt please return the laundered shirt to your classroom teacher so the CDPA can continue the swap system. If you have any questions please phone Jane Wainer 0400 952 222. |

Thanks to all who contributed to the recent Scholastic Book Fair. We sold $8,342 worth of books earning us a generous commission. We have already ordered many books and class sets from Scholastic and purchased books for both the Preschool and the Lower school classrooms! Thanks also to our wonderful ‘Volunteer mums’ who helped
every day of the Fair: Elizabeth Chin, Coleen Brown and Sue Drew
and to Adrienne Murray for donating more ‘Loan Library bags’
because sadly the ones we loaned out have not been returned. Please
look at home... they are clearly marked with ‘Loan Library
Bag’. Happy Reading |
