Yesterday’s newsletter (No. 22) is now available on the newsletter page, or by clicking on this direct link: Newsletter No. 22 261109

Also a reminder that the final P&C meeting for the year is on Monday night at 7:30pm in the staff room – all welcome! Minutes from previous meetings are available on the meetings page.

The last Deanmore Dad’s night for 2009 will be held at 6pm on Friday 20 November at the Scarborough Sportsman’s Club.  Hope you can come along for a social drink and a chat.

Dinner will be at approx. 7pm (the $13 roast of the night).

There is no set start or finish time for this event, so if you can only make it for a short timeframe, then please come along and join in.

As part of Deanmore’s extended anti-poverty awareness activities this term, a clothing recycling bin has been placed at the top of the driveway leading to the canteen (off Rinaldi Cres). Part proceeds from the sale of donated items will go to the Breast Cancer Foundation, which serves to support the families of people affected by breast cancer. Donated items are sorted at a warehouse in Wangara by Ecokids, which seeks to recycle as much as possible to reduce landfill. Rags are sold to industry, the proceeds of which fund sea containers. Good quality clothing is baled up and shipped to various African countries to be distributed by local non-government organisations. Some items are sold at low cost to defray shipping costs, and others are given away. While the Breast Cancer Foundation is a charity, Ecokids is a not-for-profit (& not-for loss) organisation, which runs purely on the goods donated through its clothing bins.

Suitable items to donate are Men’s, Ladies & Children’s clothes (no knitted jumpers, please), shoes & bags, Manchester & household textiles (towels, sheets, etc.), and also soft toys in good condition. The bin is cleared 2 – 3 times a week.

As always, please don’t drive your car up the canteen driveway as it presents a hazard to the children.
