Fundraising for School of St Judes


Thank you to everyone who donated money on our mufti day for St Judes. We raised $319.20! Well done. We have been fortunate to have had support from other communities around the world recently and it is wonderful to be able to "pass it forward" by helping others.




Here are some photos of Room 19 on the Bouncy Castle.

Beach Education Trip



Tuesday 4th December 
Bus leaves at 9:00am!
Rain or shine!




Our big trip this term is to attend a beach education day at South Brighton Surf Life Saving Club. The trip will be on whatever the weather and the programme will be adjusted to suit the conditions. 

This is a fun day with an important focus on learning to stay safe at the beach and in the sun. We will be traveling to the beach by bus with Room 13. The bus will be leaving school at 9:00am so please ensure your child is at school in plenty of time.

Key Learning:
  • keeping safe in the sun and at the beach
  • the need to be supervised when swimming
  • the role of the lifeguard
  • identifying features of the beach and water
  • developing confidence in the water
Children and Parent Helpers will need to bring:
  • togs and towel
  • a wetsuit if possible
  • NAMED water bottle
  • morning tea AND lunch
  • Jacket
  • Hat and sun screen
  • Warm clothing (mufti)
  • footwear suitable for the beach
Fingers crossed for some summer weather!
