Mega fun day planned

Year 5 and 6 students and teachers at Woy Woy Public School are planning to hold a Mega Fun Day on Wednesday, April 7 and are calling for sponsors from local businesses.

They would appreciate any donation of items such as stickers, posters, vouchers, pens, caps, or T-shirts that may be used on the day as prizes for the activities, or for the chocolate wheel and raffle.

All the money raised will be used to help subsidise the two major excursions for Years 5 and 6.

Year 5 will be attending The Great Aussie Bush Camp and Year 6 will be travelling to Canberra.

"Both of these excursions are an important part of our learning programs at school," said principal Mr Warwick Hannon.

As well, personal development programs are planned through Interrelate to help prepare students for high school and future years.

The excursions cost around $200 for each student to attend.

"A number of our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have difficulty paying the full cost of these expensive excursions," said Mr Hannon.

In an effort to make the excursions more affordable, the students of Years 5 and 6 are organising the Mega Fun Day.

The students work in groups, organising and managing activities on the day.

Some of the activities are for the students but many parents and members of the local community also attend.

If anyone is able to assist, they should contact the school or ring 4341 3555 by Wednesday, March 31.
