Second Hand Uniform Shuk at Mother’s Day Morning

By popular demand we will be selling remaining uniforms at the Mother’s Day morning in the Innovation Centre from 7.00 am – 8.30 am on Friday 12 May 2023.

Most items are for $10.00 and $20.00. We have plenty of long and short sleeve shirts, primary formal and sports jumpers and primary shorts. Other items are still available but with less sizes options including smaller size blazers, tunics and larger size pants and mid-size shorts.

Mother’s Day Stall 
Bring $10 notes on  Friday 12 May 2023

Start collecting your $10 notes for our much loved Mother’s Day gift stalls, to be held on Friday 12 May 2023. There is no picture like the wonder and excitement on kids’ faces as they choose their own special gifts for the women in their lives that nurture and inspire them. The kids always seem to enjoy the independence of the stalls and put incredible thought into the gifts they choose. To honour that, we have specially chosen beautiful gifts in the hope their mums will be equally delighted!

This year, we are very excited to extend the charity initiative to all year groups. Every child in Years K–6, will be able to choose to spend their $10 on a charity donation on behalf of their mum/aunt/bubba or special friend, rather than gift her a present. The donation is presented with a voucher and a small token of gratitude. The idea is that your mum knows you adore her, but can also see you care about the world, when you support others.

The money raised will be given to Be Centre  – a service focused on supporting children affected by trauma, by supplying play therapy kits relevant to the trauma. For example, a child whose home was damaged by the NSW fires, would receive new toys to replace those lost where the toys might include a fire-truck or fire coloured playdough. Each kit is designed by psychologists to help that child process the trauma they have encountered. 

We would love to support this cause as much as possible – if anyone wishes to match the amount raised please contact Carli Rothman.

Of course, the charity initiative is entirely optional. There are some incredible gifts this year to choose from, so please remember to bring money (exact money if possible) to school on Friday 12 May 2023. If you are buying more than one gift, please send in multiples of $10.
