School NewsStudent Council- Lazy Dress Day 2019 Wrap Up What a wonderful day was had last Thursday as we wore our casual clothes and enjoyed a day that included hot chocolates, muffins and a free sausage sizzle. Students were treated to a special free lunch as part of a whole school Gr8 M8s celebration too. Special thanks to the hospitality department, Mrs Bartz and Mrs McKay for doing a great job catering for the whole school on this day. Thank you also to student councillors who were brave enough to speak on parade, and those who helped others by making posters, preparing order forms and collecting money. It was a terrific show of what wonderful things can happen when we all
work together to achieve great things. All collected donations and the profits of our morning tea sales totally $259.55 will be donated to charities that support people who are homeless. A big thank you to everyone involved.
