Thursday, 9th November, is our annual Rice Day. The purpose of this day is to help our children experience, in a small way, the daily struggles many children experience every day and to raise funds for children less fortunate than ourselves.
Last year Rice Day was a great success, and monies raised went towards our annual pledge for the children of Metta Geha Orphanage in Myanmar. The current situation in Myanmar is heartbreaking, so they need our help more than ever before. We hope that all students will participate so that funds can be raised to support the educational needs of the children at the orphanage. The students can wear something purple on this day to acknowledge Mrs Liz Lofthouse (her favourite colour). She initiated this school event, and her birthday falls in the month of November.
If your child is not going to participate, please provide an alternative lunch. Students are also asked to drink only water on this day.
What to bring:
- $5
- A plastic bowl
- A fork or a spoon
- A plastic bag
- A piece of fruit (for recess)
- A water bottle
Thank you for your support.
