Margy's News

Dear Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed our extra long weekend. Welcome to Week 5, how fast this term is flying by!

I am pleased to announce that last Friday's casual day raised $560 for the Vinnies Christmas Appeal!!  I would like to thank the Social Justice team for arranging such a great cause, and for the students and families for your generosity.

World Teachers Day

All staff at St Paul's extend a huge thank you to Diana Khamu (Mum of Julius in Year 6) and the P&F for arranging our magnificent morning tea on Friday 25 October to celebrate World Teachers Day. It was an amazing spread and we are all truly grateful. 

RSL Remembrance Poppy Appeal 

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is a moment not only to pause and remember all those who have served and sacrificed in wars and conflicts across the world, but also to reflect on the historical events that led to this day of significance. Originally announced to mark the anniversary of the Armistice that ended fighting with Germany in World War I, Remembrance Day today gives us all the opportunity to acknowledge the service personnel who died while serving in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations  

Please support the RSL Poppy Appeal by purchasing items from the office - wristbands, badges and pens ranging from $2 to $5.  Please bring small change for your purchases.

Upcoming Swimming Program

The Aqua Star Learn to Swim Schools Program begins in Week 6 for Prep - Year 3 (11 - 15 November) and in Week 7 for Year 4 - 6 students (18 - 22 November). The Swimming program is an essential component of the Victorian Physical Education curriculum and the cost is embedded into the school fees. It is an expectation that all students participate in the program. Last week, parents received an email with important information regarding the Swimming Program.
