GRADUATION/OUTBACK SPLASH
What a fantastic night was had by all who attended! The parent Graduation Committee did an
absolutely amazing job of decorating the undercover area. They spent many hours making
awesome pompoms that decorated the stage and backdrop. Everyone did so well in respecting
the COVID rules and a great ceremony was had. The food for the social part of the night was well
received and enjoyed by the students and the dancing was so much fun. Congratulations to

Matilda Giles and Pai Pou-Matatahi for winning the dance competition from Simmonds Dance
Studio, who did a great job as usual. The students looked so grown up and mature in their outfits
and a great time was had by all.

Then on Tuesday we went to the Outback Splash where we had perfect weather for the water
slides. I have to say that I believe our students were the best behaved there and I was so proud of
them. Well done everyone.

Another Congratulations!

We have a very humble Year 6 student, who not only received entrance into the Gifted and
Talented Extension program for high school at Carine Senior High but also is doing Extension
French for the very first time. He didn’t think it fell into the category of a scholarship so he did
not let anyone know!

Extremely WELL DONE JADEN HUYNH!! We are sure you will do extremely well and we look
forward to hearing about your achievements in the future years to come.

Huge congratulations to Taylor Jalla and Kahin Fareh who were accepted into PEAC 2021 (Primary
Extension and Challenge).

Out of 9000 students who are tested state wide, only 3.5% of students are accepted into PEAC. A
fantastic achievement!

you prefer. There will be a post on our facebook page so you can also respond to that. I would
also like assistance pre-packing the Qkr! orders ready for open day. There may be some delays if
there aren’t enough helpers, we will be doing our best!

We have Moved!

The Uniform shop has now shifted and is in the old ICT room in D block, right next to the
Adventure playground.

Purchasing Uniforms

QKR! will be opened from 18th January 2021. Before the 30th January 2021 please use your
child’s 2020 class, but after the posting of classroom allocations you will need to use the 2021
room number. These online orders can be collected at the next open day or they will be delivered
to your child’s classroom. We will still have our regular open days throughout each term. The
option to use a paper order form and pay by cash through the office is still available.

Second hand uniforms

If you have any (clean) uniforms or an art smock that you would like to donate, please drop them
off to the box near the canteen. The office has a box, or bring it to the Uniform Shop on days that
we are open. Please black out any names prior to dropping them off. Second hand items are
available for purchase through the Uniform Shop on the days when it is open. To pay for your
second hand items through Qkr! Please contact me at Rawlinson.uniforms@gmail.com to
request your items, if they are available I will let you know the cost so you can pay using the
“second hand items” tab, and they will be delivered to your child’s classroom. All of the money
made from second hand uniforms will be fed back into the school.

Leavers Shirts

Leavers shirts can be ordered online through QKR! from 18th January 2021. Paper order forms
will be handed out the first day back at school. The Uniform shop will be open for sizing of the
leavers shirts on Monday 8th and Friday 12th February between 8.15am and 8.45am.

Deadline for final orders will be Monday 15th February – No exceptions as these are a special
