We attempted to send the newsletter home with the eldest in the family today, but as classes were mixed up due to the Arts Extravaganza, we may have missed some! Our apologies if one hasn't made it home today!

There will be some tickets available at the door tonight, but to avoid disappointment we do recommend pre-purchasing through trybooking: www.trybooking.com/jkkb.

DOXA Summer Camp - Web Based Note Only

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Picture
The Doxa Camps Program provides the opportunity for more than 5000 students, teachers and support staff from the state’s most disadvantaged schools to enjoy an educational and enriching camp experience that their life circumstances might otherwise preclude. Students from all parts of Victoria are able to participate in valuable experiential learning, which enhances their classroom curriculum.
 In January 2016, Doxa is committed to running five Summer Camps for around 200 children from Grades 5 through to Year 7.
The attached brochure contains further information and the key points are summarised below.
·         Each Doxa Summer Camp is 5 days in duration with a choice of two locations; Doxa’s Malmsbury Camp (75 minutes north-west of the Melbourne CBD), and Doxa’s City Camp (in Melbourne CBD).
·         The all-inclusive fee per camper is $45. Any family unable to pay this can apply for a Doxa Campership to ensure that no child misses out due to their family’s financial circumstances.
·         Doxa Summer Camp is a great deal of fun and provides children with a range of exciting age-appropriate activities.
·         All Doxa Holiday camps are facilitated by a combination of Doxa staff and volunteers. Each staff member possesses a Working with Children Check, a National Police check and any other relevant activity specific qualifications.

Doxa has extended this offer to more students from our school 
in grades 4, 5 or 6 in 2015, who would love to join us for a Doxa Summer Camp experience.
 Nominations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis and our closing date has been extended to 8th November 2015.
 Doxa Summer Camps offers many exciting activities and opportunities for all campers, especially for girls, with many of our female campers’ favourites such as Horsemanship, Music & Drama, Climbing Tower, Archery and more again on offer this year. Our camps are facilitated by quality female, and male volunteers and staff who inspire all young people to achieve greatness through positivity and encouragement.
 If you or your families should have any questions regarding this opportunity, please do not hesitate to contact our camps team.

Dear Family Members and Friends of Ararat Primary,

Our names are Holly, Sruthi, and Amy. We are members of Club Kidpreneur and are currently setting up a business from scratch. Our product is called Rox Boxes. We are wondering if anyone can help us by donating any small timber off cuts (less than a metre in length and no wider than 20cms) to make small wooden boxes. We would really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Dear Families and Friends of Ararat Primary School,

Our names are Elly, Amelia and Jess and we are part of a project called Kidpreneur. We are setting up a business and were wondering if anyone could assist us with this by donating any glass jars. Coffee jars, or breakfast spread jars would be ideal. Could you please bring them in to the office before the end of term and we will collect them from there. Your support would be greatly appreciated and we will be sure to remember you when we become the next big business tycoons.

Thank you in advance,

Elly Galoso, Amelia Greene and Jess Hope
