Monday 13th - Friday 17th November 2017
In Week 5 of this term, we are holding a multicultural week to celebrate the diverse range of cultures and backgrounds at Anderson’s Bay School. During the week the children will be sharing information and learning about different cultures. To conclude the week, we will be having a parade, a multicultural sharing time and shared lunch.
Friday 17th November
The children will be asked to dress in clothes that best represents their culture – it may be traditional clothes, clothes that are the colours of their flag, hat (or something to show where their family originates).
Multicultural Sharing Time
On the Friday, children will also be invited to perform a short cultural item (no more than 2-3 minutes), for the rest of the school, which represents their family culture. It could be a national song or a dance, speaking in their first language or showing a special item of interest, reading a poem etc. If your child would like to perform an item, please complete the slip below and send back to school by next Friday 3rd November.(If you know of an individual or cultural group that may like to share a short item for our children, please also complete the slip below)
Cultural Shared Lunch
On Friday 17th November, each class will have a shared multicultural lunch in their classrooms.
Children will need:
A plate of food to share (from their identified culture/ancestry)
Named Plastic plate/bowl
Named fork/spoon or chopsticks
Every Friday during Terms 3 & 4 students are able to purchase a sausage for lunch. This is a fundraiser for the year 6 camp, which is held early December. The year 6 students head off to Camp Iona for a week, filled with exciting outdoor and indoor activities. The sausages are cooked by year 6 parents with the help of 4 year 6 students. It is a great way to fundraise for the camp as well as offering a tasty lunch for the school students. To order, students send along $2 in an envelope with their name and classroom number. Orders must be in by the end of each Wednesday. The last day for sausages will be Friday, 24 November 2017. There are no sausages for sale on Friday, 17 November 2017 due to Multicultural Day. Any pre-paid orders will carry over to the 24th.
Over time we have noticed some "near miss" situations with vehicles, children and adults entering and leaving the Anderson's Bay School Staff car park and bottom car park adjacent to the recently closed Anderson's Bay School Playcentre. Earlier in the year the Board of Trustees decided to make this carpark a staff parking area only. Can we please remind you that the car park, or the car park entry, is not a drop off area.
Not only will this ensure improved Health and Safety practices, but it will also free up street-side parking spaces, with staff cars parked off the street. As a school we are very aware of the limited parking and drop off areas along Jeffery Street. Below is a diagram of alternative parking options around our school (provided they are free of roadworks). The Board of Trustees do appreciate the understanding and commitment of our families to create the safest environment possible.
