Commencing at 9.30 am
End of Day 2.15 pm
Schedule of the events for the day is attached to this newsletter. Please note these are approximate times.
COVID-19 Protocols for the Athletics Carnival
Please Note:
- Social Distancing of 1.5 m to be adhered to by members not of the same family.
- Recommended to place picnic blankets or chairs down and have families keep the 1.5 m distancing rule.
- Adhere to safe practices regarding hygiene and the use of hand sanitiser.
- Spectator sections will be marked off. Parents are restricted to these areas.
- No parents to be entering the faction bays or entering marked off areas for the team games.
- Other protocols required will be mentioned on the day.
Non-adherence to these protocols on the day will lead to the event being interrupted due to COVID-19. There is a clear expectation that parents and other family members will adhere to these reminders throughout the day. Please do not be offended if you are instructed to leave an area. We are fortunate in WA to be able to hold these events and open them to all our families without restrictions on numbers. We are looking forward to a cracking good day, but need everyone in attendance to support what we will have in place. You, our St Columba’s families, are outstanding in your support, so we know the day will run extremely smoothly.
The P&F have kindly organised a sausage sizzle for the day. An order Form was sent home to each student earlier in the week and is also attached to this newsletter.
PRE-PRIMARY ASSEMBLY THIS FRIDAY 11 September
Our Pre-Primary Assembly is on this Friday at 8.45 am. Please remember we can only have parents/grandparents of Pre-Primary students attend, along with parents/grandparents of merit award winners due to COVID-19 restrictions. Parents must follow the 1.5 m social distancing at our assembly. I will give a reminder at the assembly. Thank you for your support with these new measures.
Good things your way

Athletics Carnival
We have been granted approval by the City of Bayswater to hold the annual sausage sizzle and cake stall for children, staff and spectators at the athletics carnival on Friday the 18th of September.
Order forms have now been sent home and need to be returned with the correct money (no change can be given) by Wednesday 16th of September. We are required to pre-order sausages and bread rolls so unfortunately no late orders can be accepted thank you.
For all the wonderful bakers out there, we would love your donations of baked goods! Gluten free, savoury and vegan options will also greatly be appreciated.
The City of Bayswater requests that we provide names and addresses of volunteers preparing food within their residential kitchens. All homemade donations are also required to be clearly labelled with a list of ingredients. If you are able to donate please email me at rachel@galleriapodiatry.com.au. If you are unable to attend the carnival and would still like to donate, you can drop your baked goods to the office before 8.30am on the day.
We require volunteers to assist with assembling the sausage sizzles and manning the cake stall. Again if you are able to assist please email me. Your help is greatly appreciated.
A coffee van has also been booked for the day.
Thank you

School Banking
School Banking is back.
School Banking is back. School Banking Day will be THURSDAY 8:15-8:30AM, in the CANTEEN commencing on 6TH AUGUST 2020.
All school banking contacts will be run in line with WA Government regulations regarding COVID19 including cleaning of all surfaces prior to banking starting, hand sanitising for all students and parents, and social distancing for all students. All prizes are individually wrapped and sealed.
School Banking is a fun, interactive and engaging way to help young Australians learn about money and practice good savings habits. For each weekly deposit made at school, students will receive a token. Once they collect 10 tokens, they can redeem them for a School Banking reward.
Exciting news for TERM 3 is that CommBank will be rewarding all bankers who deposited in Term 1 with the option of an EXTRA prize. Come down and speak with your School Banking Coordinator Ariane Mazurak on Thursday morning about what is on offer.
If your child has lost their deposit wallet, please contact your School Banking Co-ordinator Ariane Mazurak for a replacement via the school office.
If you would like to know more about School Banking, please ask for a 2020 School Banking program parent guide from the school office or visit www.commbank.com.au/schoolbanking
