Please see attached link for information about the upcoming House Colour Day this Friday.
Christmas Lunch and Colour Run – Tuesday 7th December 2021
This year, we plan to hold our School Christmas Lunch a little differently than we did pre-COVID. This year we will be celebrating in Learning Community groups to enjoy our chicken, chips, salad, drink and ice-cream lunch. In order to distance ourselves, we will be utilising large indoor and outdoor areas of the school to dine or picnic.
This lunch is provided by the school and will be served in individual portions to children. If your child has dietary restrictions which we are not aware of, please communicate this with your child’s teacher.
Following lunch, our students will get to enjoy our annual water fun afternoon, together with the colour run.
Children can come to school in Christmas themed clothing, as classes will be involved in many Christmas activities throughout the day.
After lunch (2pm) students will have the chance to be involved in a wide variety of water and dry games. Just before 3pm we will begin the colour run, which will follow a course through the school ground.
The colour run powder works best on white clothes and so we invite children to bring a white t-shirt to school to use during the colour run. We will give students time to change into their white shirts before the water activities. The colour run powder is non-toxic and can be removed with laundering.
As children end up very messy, we suggest that, if you are collecting your child from school on that Tuesday, you pack a large garbage bag for your child to wear over their clothes in the car. Towels for the car seat are also a good idea. Alternatively, you are welcome to use the Bukatila changerooms for your child to change before heading home.
If your child is travelling by bus, they may wish to pack clean clothes to change into after the colour run.
Participation in the colour run is optional. Children who do not want to be involved will be able to watch from a central position.
Parents are welcome to attend this event from 2pm, being mindful of COVID safe practices and ensuring that you sign in. We will have a sign in sheet available at the oval. Visitors are reminded that masks should be worn if physical distancing is not possible.
If you have questions about the day, please talk to your child’s teacher or contact the front office
