With so much going on to prepare for the wonderfully exciting Summer Fun School Fair, let us help you feel organised with this little checklist.

Have you:

1. Bought your child’s stunning Summer Fun self-portrait on Trybooking at www.trybooking.com/BFYWE ? Your child’s artwork has been beautifully mounted as a precious keepsake for you to treasure - and they’re only $10.
2. Pre-purchased your children’s wristbands, tokens and Show Bags for the Fair on Trybooking at www.trybooking.com/BFYWE. We’ve included pictures of what’s inside each Show Bag here. You’ll save a lot by buying ahead of the Fair – don’t put it off.
3. Donated your second-hand books, toys and games to the Pre-Loved Stall? Collections are taking place every morning and afternoon this week at the school gates.
4. Confirmed your child’s entry to the Talent Show? Emails have been sent to all parents whose children have entered an act. They’ve got just under 2 weeks to perfect their performance, so please encourage them to practice, practice, practice!
5. Encouraged your children to complete their Christmas Card designs? They need to bring their finished templates back to school by this Friday (8^th November). Then you need to order your cards or gifts online at http://www.crazycamel.com.au/14108
6. Signed up to be a Volunteer at the Fair? We need helpers from every year group and there are lots of jobs still vacant so please put your name down at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f4faba82babf94-shmspring1

 Also:

1. It’s on again this year…The Golden Wristband Raffle! Purchase tickets to enter the draw to win a Golden Wristband for all the rides at the Summer Fun School Fair plus $30 worth of Tokens – total value $70!

Raffle tickets will be on sale before school every day for the rest of this week and start of next week, plus via Trybooking at www.trybooking.com/BFYWE There’s one prize to be won per year group, plus prizes for the 2 classes that sell the most raffle entries.

The winners will be drawn and announced in the school newsletter next Wednesday.

1. And this Friday (8^th November) is Summer Fun Mufti Day! Children are invited to wear their brightest, most colourful clothes to school to celebrate ‘Summer Fun’ and bring 2 gold coins to donate; 1 gold coin for Ice-block Friday and the other gold coin for the Mufti Day. All contributions will help our fundraising efforts.

It sounds like a lot – because it is a lot – but if you tick off each action, one by one, you’ll get through it.

Thanks for your involvement!

Everyone had a blast with the Rock Band Incursion from Music Mates - photos below.

Don't forget Iceblock Friday is on this Friday 8 November.

Please bring a gold coin.

It has been brought to our attention that there are a number of students crossing the road at drop off, and crossing at the dangerous junction of Cardinal Street and Military Road.  Please remind your children that they must cross at the Pedestrian Crossing near the church.  Can parents please monitor their children each morning to ensure they cross safely and enter the school gates unharmed.

Dear Parents,

As of Monday 28th October 2019 the new Flexi Schools cut off time for lunch orders will be 9:00am.

If you have forgotten to order your child's lunch you will be able to order a late lunch order, available on the Flexi Schools site.

Have a great week.  

Kind regards
