This day, Father,
may my eyes be opened
to see the beauty
in all that is ordinary - yet special -
around me.
May the glory of all that you have made
remind me of your presence
and lead me closer to you.

Hello Parents and Friends of St. Anne’s
Our Foundation orientation program has begun. Parents attended an information night last Thursday, and our 2020 Foundation students had their first orientation session yesterday.

Foundation Orientation Program
Our 2020 Foundation Orientation Program will continue on the following Tuesdays:
October 22nd and 29th from 2pm until 3pm.

Parish Education Board/Parish Pastoral Council
A combined meeting of the Parish Education Board and Parish Pastoral Council will be held at St Anne’s on Wednesday 23rd October at 7.30pm.

School Fees
We still have a significant amount of school fees outstanding. For those concerned your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

Hospitality Mass
Our next hospitality mass will be held at 10:30am on Sunday 20th October. The 5/6 classes will be our hosts. I look forward to seeing many families from all year levels in attendance.

We would appreciate it if each family could please bring along a plate for morning tea.

If you can help with set up, serving or  clean up, please let your Year 5/6 Class Rep know.

As part of our Year 6 Transition program all Year 6 students and parents are expected to attend the session on Thursday October 24th from 7-8.30pm in the School Hall.  Mr James Golds is the Facilitator. It is an expectation that students attend with a parent. We will be following up with work in our classes during school time.

Dear Parents of Year 6, 2020 Students

An exciting part of being in Year 6 is that all students enjoy having a Year 6 Commemorative Rugby Jersey.

You will be able to purchase a long-sleeved rugby jersey, which will be especially printed with 2020 on the back, together with all the Year 6 students names. The front will be embroidered with our school logo, similar to the current Year 6 jerseys.

Each child will be fitted before ordering and an array of sizes will be available for students to try on at school. Sample sizes will be delivered to the school the first week of Term 4.

The cost of the rugby jersey will be $66.00 and they will be delivered to school at the commencement of Term 1, on Friday 6th February 2020.

We will use an online ordering system, managed by Fashion Clubwear in Surrey Hills. The online shop will open on Wednesday 9th October and close on Wednesday 23rd October. Instructions and details of how to order are attached.

If you have any queries in relation to the Year 6 rugby jerseys, please contact Lisa Hodgkinson (P&F Secretary), on lis_burns@yahoo.co.uk / 0468 461 244.

Kind regards
Lisa Hodgkinson

Cricket
All of our year 3/4 students will be involved in a cricket carnival at Hislop Park. The Year 3/4's will be playing this Friday October 18th.

Basketball
Basketball clinics involving ALL students will be held on the following Wednesdays:

• October 23rd, 30th and
• November 6th,13th and 20th

On these days students are to wear their school sports uniform.

Kaboom
The Kaboom program has been postponed until Wed Oct 23rd due to inclement weather. The introduction to our Term 4 Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies focus starts with Kaboom! All St Anne's students will be required to wear their sports uniform to participate in a series of fun outdoor activities led by our Yr 6 leaders. As well as providing leadership opportunities there is a big focus on teamwork and cooperation in a fast paced program to get our bodies moving

Don't forget we are still collecting plastic lids. We are asking all families to wash and save any plastic lids for you all to bring them to school.

Envision Hands, a company in Melbourne will then collect and break down the lids into different coloured special inks that are used in 3D printers. They will make artificial limbs for children living overseas.

We have set up boxes in the LLC for you to drop in your plastic coloured lids during Term 4. We would like to collect at least 1,000 lids so please save your milk and juice lids over the holidays and bring them in. 

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask one of the SRC people

The Second hand uniform shop is looking for any size 4 & 6 second hand summer uniforms, so we can stock up for the 2020 Foundation families when they come in for orientation in the next few weeks.
