Remembrance Day
In commemoration of Remembrance Day, we had our School Captains, Ayvah and Cale, participate in the Knox Remembrance Day Service held at the Tim Neville Arboretum. I am extremely proud of the way Cale and Ayvah represented our school, and I thank their families for supporting this community event.
Remembrance Day is a significant event in the lives and Australians as it commemorates the sacrifices made by thousands of soldiers and armed service personnel in conflicts fought across the world. On Monday morning, the students showed their respect by listening to the Ode of Remembrance, listening to The Last Post and observing one minute of silence.
Student Book packs
Just a reminder that the ordering details for the student book packs went home a few weeks ago. Orders placed before the 1st December (with a value over $55) to COS will be delivered to your home by 24th December and receive free delivery. All students require their books for the first day of school. In addition to their books students also require a sturdy set of headphones, library bag and art smock for the first week of school. Please name your child’s belongings clearly.
Christmas Concert night and Raffle
We are looking forward to welcoming our school community to our Christmas concert on the Tuesday 3rd of December. The evening will begin at 6pm and should go through to around 7:30pm. Our very talented students will be performing on the night in grade items. You are most welcome to bring a picnic dinner on the night, however, please note that NO ALCOHOL is allowed to be brought into and consumed at the school. In the interest of keeping our school clean, we ask that all rubbish be taken home with you at the end of the night.
The Community Hub will have once again organised a Christmas Raffle, with all tickets selling for $1 each. This raffle will be drawn at our Christmas Concert night. There will be 3 major prizes. Raffle tickets will be sent home next week with your children. This is our final fundraiser for the year, and we thank you in advance for your continued support of our school.
Have a great week.
