🎉🎉 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🎉🎉

Hopefully you will have received the flyer that came home with students at the end of last week about the Maths Challenge fundraiser. We have seen some great excitement from the students and can see the competitive spirit is alive and well at Seatoun School.

Thank you to those who have already set up their pages and started collecting sponsors. If you haven't, remember all pages set up by Friday will go in the Spot Prize draw at Hui. The link to the Fundraising Hub is 𝘩𝘵𝘵𝘱𝘴://𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦.𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘪𝘵.𝘤𝘰.𝘯𝘻/

Finally, thanks in advance to you all for working on and keeping track of the Maths Challenge at home. We hope the Challenge will help motivate the students and it is something you get to have fun doing together as a family! If you need more info, check out our page on the school website or email your questions to [email protected]

Another term, another sausage sizzle 🌭

A lovely sunny ☀️ day to enjoy the return of ice blocks thanks to Good Pops - the delicious, shiny plum pops were a hit and to top it off, real fruit without artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, and we got them packaging free! 🌏

We are also so grateful to the wonderful New World Miramar for your continued support.

Lastly, special thanks for the parents who take time out of their day to make this possible. It’s a highlight for so many of the students 🙏

Connection. Conversation. Pause. The theme of our first FOSS lunch. A few snaps from our wonderful Sunday afternoon, with delicious food from Liberty restaurant. We loved hearing the personal journey from Rachel Robertson and Karen Meredith.

A special thank you to Anna Coxhead from Craigs Investment Partners for her hard work in pulling the sensational event together and to Kirsty McCarthy from Ray White who supported the event.

Thank you also to those who attended - we hope you enjoyed the break you deserved. 💟💟
