Important Information for this Fortnight
Calling all Sparkies and Plumbers
Can you help?
Do you have left over scrap lengths of conduit you could send along to school... or even better, if you could cut them into 10cm and 1cm lengths...maybe even a few 1m lengths??
We are trying to build up our resources for teaching decimals and need lots of deci-pipes. These are lengths of conduit students use to model tenths and hundredths...they really help students understand the tricky concept of decimals.
If you can help, please either send them along to school or
contact Caz Websdale cwebsdale@bunyip.catholic.edu.au
Uniform news
We have noticed more and more students coming to school out of uniform, particularly those wearing coloured runners daily. Wearing our uniform correctly, instils a sense of belonging and pride in our school and reduces anxiety and peer pressure around 'trendy clothes'.
Whilst we understand that it can be tricky to keep up with growing feet and bodies, we ask families to make the effort to ensure students arrive at school in uniform. If you are having difficulty in covering the costs of uniform, please reach out as we may be able to help out with a voucher or two.
Reminder: the correct school shoes at Columba are black shoes, either leather or simliar and all black 'runner-style' shoes.
HATS
Hats must be worn in Term 4.
Now that the UV rating is regularly over level 3, students must wear a broad brimmed or legionairre style hat whilst working and playing outside.
Please send your child to school with their hat.
As a Sunsmary school. Columba has a 'No Hat, No Play' policy.
Hats can be purchased in Warragul at our Uniform Shop.

Thanks to the entire Parents and Friends group for their fund-raising efforts. Because of your efforts, we have been able to purchase much-needed sports equipment. Our school now boasts a brand-new set of hurdles, athletics resources, basketballs, lacrosse sets, and footballs. These resources will undoubtedly enhance our students' physical education experiences and provide them with opportunities to develop their athletic skills.
We could not have achieved all that we have without your support. Thank you so so much!
