School and Healthy Eating
School is a time when children start to make independent choices about their lifestyles. School aged children learn quickly and are influenced by friends and popular trends. This is an important time to talk about and encourage healthy food habits. Involving children in planning and preparing their own lunchboxes gives them the opportunity to learn about healthy eating, and also gives them a chance to make autonomous decisions about what they will be eating during the day.

MOTHERS DAY STALL!
The Sirius College Primary Parents Club (PPC) held its annual Mothers Day stall and overall it was a fantastic day! All students were given the opportunity to purchase beautiful gifts such as magnets, photo frames, soaps, notebooks, animated face washers, bath bombs and mugs with chocolates. They were all so beautifully presented.
We would like to thank everyone at home who purchased and supported the event. Special thanks go to the parents who assisted with the stall on both days. I would also like to thank teachers and aides who assisted students with their purchases and ensured both days ran smoothly.
Thank you
