Active Citizenship- Time to Orango Tango!

We would like to encourage ALL parents and students to jump onto our Active Citizenship fundraiser for 2013… CADBURY CHOCOLATES! No-one can say no to a Cadbury Chocolate, and as with 2012, they will be helping out a great cause! Last year we were able to raise in excess of $4000 to build much needed drinking wells in Kenya.

This year we are raising money to rescue orphaned orangutans in Borneo. Orangutan rescue units are working tirelessly in West Kalimantan, Borneo to save orangutans being trapped and killed on the fringes of local palm oil plantations, due to rapid local deforestation. Our fundraising will be in support of ‘Orango Tango’, who rescue and rehabilitate orangutans in the area. For every $1000 we raise we are able to rescue one orphan, and if we can raise $3000, we are able to offer care to that orangutan.

Former Students

I have had a few former students come and tell me that they still come and look at the blog regularly. I have now added a page to the top on the blog in which you can come and say hello. It would be great to hear what everyone is up to and any exciting news that you have to share.

Please remember to follow the commenting guidelines of the blog (appropriate language, correct grammar etc).

Thanks!

Leaving a comment

Hi all,

When you are leaving comments can you please comment on the ‘post’ and not individual photos. This way they can be seen more clearly (some people have commented on photos and these comments can only be seen if you click on the photo).
To comment, go to the main post, and click on the ‘no comments’ at the bottom of the page (in blue).

Assembly Clothing Ideas

Our assembly will be taking place on June 12, and we need to start thinking about what we are going to wear!
I have started this page for you to add suggestions or ideas of what you are going to wear or how we can dress up so that we look like we are in the olden days!

This may be a suit or a dress or conservative formal wear for adults and plain clothing for children. The adults will be attending ‘important’ meetings and so if you have a bow tie available or something similar it would be great! We would also love top hats or hats that children may have worn.

If you find any good websites with photos, or have anything you may be able to lend to others, please let us know!

Please start bringing in LABELLED items this week.
