Huff 'n Puff - Thank you for your support

Wow, what an amazing afternoon we had on Friday, the atmosphere was electric and the kids were all buzzing - weren't we so lucky with the weather!  

It was so wonderful to see all the children and teachers dressed in their house colours and with their running feet on.  The chants were brilliant and was cool to see the friendly rivalry between the houses and ongoing positive support of all the runners.

 

Some interesting facts:

• Students ran over 5200 laps = 520,000 meters = 520 kilometers

• Teacher & Parents Relay team 
• Sponsored to run 205 laps
• Team actually completed 321 laps - you guys were brilliant
• Team raised $380

Without the following support the afternoon wouldn't have been the success it was.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

• To the Huff 'n Puff team - Kylee L, Amanda P, Danielle G & Claire A, working behind the scenes to organise and ensure a smoothly run event.  

• To our amazing house captains for all their hard work setting up, awesome house chants and fabulous support towards other students - you guys are wonderful role models.

• To all the teaching staff who got behind the students and their houses and the Teacher & Parent relay team, you all nailed it.  Your support and enthusiasm was awesome!

• To all the super parents helpers on the day, marking off laps, handing out the drinks and wristbands, writing up laps, participated in the Teacher & Parent relay team and with the clean up, we wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

• To all the parents, grandparents who gave up their afternoon to support their children, it was great to see so much support from our community.

Thank you to McCafe for their yummy coffees and hot chocolate, this was a real hit and it was great to be able to offer this.

PTA Volunteer of the Term Awards

PTA Volunteer of the Term Awards - Term 2

At our August meeting we presented awards in recognition of outstanding contribution to the PTA during Term 2.

Without the valuable contribution of our volunteer committee members and helpers the PTA would not be able to provide our community and fundraising events that we do, raising significant funds that contribute to increasing the schools resources and facilities available for all our students.

Congratulations to the term 2 nominees Laura B, Sarah B, Anna M and Vaughan M and to our overall winner Ange Jaksic.

Huff 'n Puff - this Friday

The Sunnyhills School PTA Huff 'n Puff fun run 

is this Friday at 1pm

ALL WELCOME 

Come along and support the children, teacher & parents relay team!

There will be hot coffee and hot chocolate available to purchase to keep you warm while you cheer us along! The PTA will receive a $ portion from all sales.

How the Huff 'n Puff works:

• Children will come to school in mufti - warm and suitable for running in. 
• Lunchtime will be earlier from 12 - 12.45pm and there will be no whole school assembly.
• Before the start children will be given a race card with their name and room number, they will run with these and once they complete a lap a parent will mark each lap off.
• The track will be around the netball courts and senior playground. 
• Children will sit in house groups with house captains and teachers.  House chants have been created and sung during the races.
• House Competition - house points tokens will be given out randomly during the event and these then tallied up for the house competition and announced at assembly.
• Children will race in year groups - the junior students will have 'runners' to help/encourage them. 
• At the end of the race each child will be given a bottle of water and their house coloured wristband then sit back with their houses.

The fun run is in Year groups and the order is: Year 3, Year 4, Year 1, Year 2, Year 5, Year 6 - Start time is 1pm with 10 min per race & a 5 min swap around.

Start times, ideally (give or take) will be:

Year 3: 1pm

Year 4: 1.15pm

Year 1: 1.30pm

Year 2: 1.45pm

Year 5: 2pm

Year 6: 2.15pm

Remember for every $10 of sponsorship your child collects gives them 1 entry into the draw to win a Chrome book.  This time there is one Chrome Book per syndicate - 3 in total and spot prizes.  

All funds raised go towards the roof on the senior courtyard.

The PTA thank you for your continued support

Huff 'n Puff - this Friday

Teachers and Parents sponsored relay team

Who wants to see Mrs Driver and the teachers move it, move it? 

So far we only have sponsorship for the teachers (& parents) to complete 40 laps which we can do in our sleep. 

Please consider popping onto Wrap it up to sponsor us to do laps for Huff 'n Puff this Friday. We need to have sponsorship in my Thursday 3pm so we can work out how many laps we have to each do. 

Please make it challenging for us - this sponsorship will be added to the total that your child brings in with cash or cheque from their individual sponsorship towards the $10 per entry into the draw for the Chromebook (it just is paid first via this system). Thanks for making us S W E A T !
