St Jude’s Fete THIS Saturday!

The St Jude’s Fete is on Saturday 16th March.  This is a great fun day to meet other families and raise some funds for the school. Please consider baking for the cake stall or donating plants or ‘treasures’.  Head to the Qkr! App (in the Community Council menu) to pre-purchase Fete Mates, Ride Wristbands, Showbags and Raffle tickets. Check your notes pockets, the St Jude’s newsletter and your emails for more information. 

This year the ELC will be hosting the Hairspray Stall.  Many hands make light work, so we’d love for you to get involved.  There are still a few spots available for volunteers on the ELC stall or your help would be very much appreciated on any other stall. Please go to volunteersignup.org/WRJ4K to volunteer an hour (or two) of your time to help make our fete great!

Athletics Carnival

The Turtles and Lobsters will join with the primary school at Woden Park Athletics Field next Thursday 21 March for a fun day of activities at the Athletics Carnival. Please sign the excursion note that was placed in your child's pocket and return it as soon as possible. Parents, grandparents, friends are welcome to join us. It is better to meet us there as there is not enough room on the bus. Meal Deal orders are also in the notes pockets.

Lids4Kids

The ELC was lucky to have a visit from Lids4Kids this week.  They talked about recycling and sustainability and led the children through a colour sorting activity.  They then showed us what can be created using the lids that we recycle. The ELC will be a collecting plastic lids from milk bottles and yoghurt pouches so please drop in your lids for recycling.

Project Compassion

During Lent, we are learning about the importance of doing kind things for others. We will participate in Project Compassion, which raises funds to help people living in poverty in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world. ELC families are invited to donate.  Project Compassion boxes are located on the prayer table in each classroom.
