On Wednesday, 25th November, we will be having our annual Rice Day. Rice Day usually takes place in Term 1, however, this was postponed due to Covid. The purpose of this day is to help our children experience, in a small way, the daily struggles many children experience every day and to raise funds for children less fortunate than ourselves.
Last year Rice Day was very successful, and monies raised went towards our annual pledge for the children of the Metta Geha Orphanage in Myanmar. We hope that all students will participate again this year so that funds can be raised to support the educational needs of the children at the orphanage. Mrs Lofthouse has her birthday on Friday, 27th November, another reason to hold the event during that week.
If your child is not going to participate, please provide an alternative lunch. Students are also asked to drink only water on this day.
What to bring:
- $5
- A plastic bowl
- A fork or a spoon
- A plastic bag
- A piece of fruit (for recess)
- A water bottle
Thank you for your support.
