Dear Parents and Carers,
What a grand, final week to Term 2!
Congratulations to every student who participated in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical. Months of preparation led to a brilliant performance. We are immensely proud of each child’s resilience and courage to step on stage and wow audiences, over four performances, with their incredible talent.

TERM 3 TUCKSHOP
Firstly, thank you to the wonderful parent volunteers who support our Tuckshop! We cannot keep things going without the help of our parents. Perhaps the days on offer have not been convenient for you, but it’s exciting to say we have another opportunity in Term 3. We are looking for parents to assist with the open window Tuckshop on Mondays at first break. You can still volunteer for Thursday afternoon preparation or Friday morning Tuckshop orders. Please send through your availability via this form and Sheryl will be in contact once we can put the roster together.
FREE DRESS DAY
Tomorrow is our final day of term before embarking on three weeks holiday. As per the tradition, it is Free Dress Day and we are collecting gold coin donations to go towards our Compassion Children. We have a Compassion Child per year level across the whole school. Our Missions Club students do a wonderful job writing letters to them. It is a special thing to be able to connect with and support their needs.
On behalf of myself and the Springwood Team, thank you for a wonderful Term 2. We hope that all our families have some time to rest and relax over the holidays.

Head of Junior School - Springwood
