Blog Full - Anzac Park P&C Association

The P&C run a monthly recycling collection of containers with the 10c refund logo. This includes plastic and aluminium containers but NO GLASS at all.

Think beer cans, soft drink, sparkling and still water bottles etc – Containers cannot be accepted if they don’t have the 10c refund logo.

They need to be uncrushed as per below image to be accepted.

The collection happens on the first Thursday of each month.

The next collection is 5th November

You can drop your orange bags at the Kiss and Drop from 7:30am-9:15am.

This is a great fundraising opportunity for the school as it is minimal effort and if we all collect eligible containers it can raise thousands of dollars for the school!

If you’d like to assist this year on the once per month collection day please contact the P&C – anzacparkpandc@gmail.com – THANK YOU!

School Update

Uniform Reminder

Anzac Park is a proud uniform wearing school. A couple of reminders regarding our uniform:

Please ensure your child is wearing Anzac Park uniform items and not alternate jumpers and hats.
Black shoes are an important part of our uniform every day unless your child is wearing sports uniform.
We have a ‘no hat, play in the shade’ policy and require every child to wear a school hat when outside. This includes before and after school. Beanies are not part of the school uniform.

We appreciate the support of all families in adhering to these uniform guidelines. As the weather starts to become colder, we are increasingly dealing with the challenge of tracking down jumpers and jackets when they are taken off at school. It is very frustrating when expensive clothing is lost or we are unable to return jackets to the owners as they do not have names on them.

Let’s work together as a whole school to do the following:

Label every piece of your child’s school uniform clearly with their name – especially hats and jackets.
Remind your child about the importance of putting their clothing in their bag if they take it off.
If your child comes home with an item of clothing which does not belong to them, please return it to school with a note so that it can be returned to its rightful owner.

Mountain Top

Mountain Top at Anzac Park is an exciting initiative and will take place at Anzac Park over two nights this year. Mountain Top is an opportunity to celebrate and showcase the work of every student at Anzac Park and will be the culmination of student achievement for Semester 1. The evenings will involve all students sharing at least one aspect of their learning from Semester 1 and students will be acknowledged on the evening for their commitment to our six global competencies. This will be a wonderful community celebration and I would like to encourage you all to save the date now so that you will be able to attend this fabulous Anzac Park event. Due to COVID restrictions, families will need to book into a session on either Wednesday 23 June or Thursday 24 June to limit the number of families onsite at any one time. More information about session bookings will be sent later this term.
