Crazy Sock & Movember Fundraising
We are hosting a special fundraiser on Monday of Week 7 (November 11th): Crazy Sock & Movember Day!
Students are encouraged to wear their silliest or oddest socks and bring a gold coin donation. All funds raised will support our Child of Compassion program. During second break, students can also have a moustache painted—either on their face or finger—to join in the Movember fun. Wearing odd socks celebrates our uniqueness as creations of God, while the Movember moustaches help spark important conversations about mental health.
To encourage participation, we have exciting fundraising goals! If enough money is raised, some of our Middle and Senior School teachers will do TikTok dances, buzz or dye their hair, or even wax their arms and legs. If we reach our fundraising targets, Mr. Arraiol may buzz his hair, and Mr. Merry might dye his.
Laptop Updates:
Our annual laptop update and inspection schedule for this year will take place on various days this term according to the schedule below. When students hand in their laptops, they will be required to return the following items for inspection:
- College Laptop
- TARGUS protective carry bag
- A/C power adaptor
Please note that parents will be charged $100 for repairs due to any physical damage to the laptops. Additionally, there will be a $45 fee for the replacement of any missing chargers. In light of this, it would be advisable to ensure that your child has all the items listed above in good working condition ready for the upcoming inspections.
