Sutton Public School

World Environment Day is celebrated on the 5th of June every year, and is the United Nation's principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of our environment.  Our SRC leaders are ready to take up the challenge of tackling the waste and recycling issues around our school.  Our leaders know they have the support of their classmates, teachers and parents and they are keen to encourage more environmentally friendly attitudes and actions in all parts of the school. 

The first project they plan to tackle is the recycling and reuse of paper waste in all areas of the school. On the 25th June they will participate in a “Waste Warriors” workshop led by the Bournda Environmental Education Centre. Students have raised concern about the amount of litter our school has to deal with and are keen to investigate ways to encourage wrapper free lunches and reusable keep cups. Our students are excited about leading the whole school towards taking ownership and pride in place with a litter free playground. 

Our students hope to one day incorporate sustainability into everything we do. For now we know that small changes can lead to a big difference for our school and the community. Our students are keen to show us how to truly be “valuing the future”.

We are hosting a BBQ and Cake Stall at the Athletics Carnival this year. The money raised will be used to put on a spectacular Year 6 Farewell. We would really appreciate your support if you are available to cook and serve sausage on the day of the Athletics Carnival (20 June at Wright Park) or are able to bring in some baked foods on the day. 

If you can help, please fill in note and return it to school, or submit the Skoolbag eForm before Friday 14th June.

The 2019 Primary Athletics Carnival will be held next Thursday on the 20th June at Wright Park, Old Sydney Road, Queanbeyan. 

The Primary Athletics Carnival involves all students turning 8 years of age this year and older. The Infants will hold their Carnival/Sports Day on the Bayliss Oval behind the hall on Wednesday 26th June.

The Primary children will travel to Wright Park by bus leaving school at 9.30am. They will be able to wear clothing of their house colours. The children will need to bring warm clothing, something to sit on, enough food and water for the day. 

We will be holding a BBQ as a fundraiser for the Year 6 farewell. The attached note has the information.

Parents are welcome to come and cheer on their children, as well as helping time keep if possible. Your support enables the carnival to run smoothly and efficiently.
