What a week!
I would have to say that in my 7 years at Alawa I have not seen anything like the excitement that the Rainbow Run brought to the school - the students, the staff and the parents. The buzz built over the past few weeks and culminated in an absolutely fabulous afternoon last Friday. The smiles, laughs and joy on faces, the way people worked together and shared the opportunity as well as the excellent behaviour by our students all shone through.
Huge thanks to our planning team:
Ana Bernardino | Amanda Lane | Tamra Caruana |
Jed Henderson | Saleena Allgood | Kate Hughes |
Tammy Zairis | Steph Cockfield | Renae Shields |
Lisa Harrop | Emma Connelly |
|
And super huge thanks to all parents who came along to help set up, pack up and run the tabloid events.
We could not have achieved this without you all.
James & Lisa Harrop | Tom Vidins | Jesse Rutledge |
Catherine Miles | Sarah Agnew-Auld | David Warwick |

As of Friday the total raised which comes to Alawa as profit once all associated costs are taken out is $9750.00!
A Big congratulations to our top 3 fundraisers: Aliyah M with a whopping $1701, Maryanne M with a super impressive $1090 and Joshua T with an outstanding $1026.
I would also like to announce the highest fundraiser class as a whole was Transition Lane - Fantastic job!
Thanks to EVERYONE for a super effort.
The Council will consider request for the funds raised at the June meeting once the initial request for money for readers already committed to has been allocated.
Alawa Sports Day - not long now!
Now we turn our attention to the upcoming Sports Day - spread over 2 days for the older students.

We also have another special lunch package that day - orders are now able to be placed online through Quickcliq.
Ms Tamra, Mr T and Mrs Lane are still seeking a few extra volunteers to help with the events - if you are able to help out please just advise through the front office.
