Easter Hat Parade

Date

11 April

Time

9:15-10:15 AM

Location

Woonona Public School - COLA area

View further information: The Easter Hat Parade will be held on Friday 11 April 2025 in the school COLA area. The parade will commence at 9:15am and conclude by 10:15am. It will be a whole school event and all parents and carers are welcome to attend. In preparation for this parade, all K-4 students will need to bring in a hat along with a small number of items to decorate the hat. The students will construct and decorate their hats at school, with the assistance of their teacher and their classmates. If your child is in Years 5 & 6, they are not required to bring in anything from home as they will be using classroom resources to make a hat. Discount shops have a variety of basic hats like cowboy hats, sombreros, straw hats and sparkle hats that are easy to decorate. These shops also stock lots of decorations; however, we do encourage creative recycling of items no longer used at home. This can include old hats, cards, ribbons, old stickers, packaging and wrapping. The school will supply glue, sticky tape and coloured markers. The main objective of hat making at school is for students to work with others to explore their creativity and create their own unique hat. Resources for K-4 students will need to be put in a labelled bag and sent in with your child by no later than Friday 4 April 2025. On the day, K-2 classes will parade first, followed by an Easter dance performance by Kindergarten. Next, students in Stage 2 and 3 who have made a hat will also have the opportunity to parade. We will also be drawing the Year 6 Easter Raffle at the conclusion of the event. The Easter Hat Parade will be adjusted if the weather conditions are unfavourable. An announcement will be made via the Parent Portal, Woonona Public School social media pages and Seesaw. We thank you in advance for your support in making our Easter Hat Parade a wonderful event. We look forward to a fun and exciting parade and hope to see you there. Kind Regards Alanah Barnaby Kindergarten Relieving Assistant Principal

View further information: We are very excited to inform you that at the beginning of Term 2, Stage 2 will be visiting the Wollongong Science Space on Thursday 1 May 2025 (first week in Term 2). This excursion has been planned to reinforce content taught in science this year. On the day, students will arrive at school at their normal time (between 8:30am and 9:00am). They will then have half an hour with their classes to have munch and crunch before departing the school grounds at 9:30am. Students and teachers will be taking a bus to and from the venue. We will be returning to school at approximately 1:15pm. Therefore, students will be having lunch back at school and pick up times will be as normal (3:00pm). The cost of the excursion is $24.00 per student. This includes transport, access to the venue and a tour of Science Space by an expert guide. Students must wear their full school uniform with either school shoes or joggers. Children will need to bring water and their recess and lunch in a small backpack. There will be no opportunity to buy anything so students will not require any money. In the event of rain, the excursion will still go ahead. There will be no canteen orders accepted on the day. Staff attending the excursion include Mrs Bleeker, Mr Arrighi, Mr Samuel, Mrs Ney, Miss Chesher, Mrs Bugg, Mrs Smith and Mr Dixon. Please complete the online School Bytes permission slip and make payment by Friday 4 April. Mr Dixon Stage 2 Science Teacher
