Wig Wednesday Fundraiser
On Wednesday the 6th September, Sunnybrae is taking part in Wig Wednesday to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation.
Taking part is easy. All you have to do is simply wear a wig, style a funky hairdo, wear bright colourful clothes and bring in a Gold Coin. Our support this Wig Wednesday will go a long way in helping Kiwi children with cancer, as well as their whānau during the toughest time of their lives. Please bring a gold coin and hand to your classroom teacher on Wednesday morning.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
Fire Drill
As part of our ongoing monitoring of our Emergency Procedures, we had a Fire Drill in the morning of Tuesday 29 March. The fire bell announcement was made, children lined up outside in their respective areas where a roll count was taken. These drills also test our indoor and outdoor speakers ensuring emergency announcements can be heard. This drill took 3 minutes and 43 seconds to complete. Following the drill and the ‘all clear’ announcement was made, teachers completed a debrief document with their class.

Sebastian’s Toy Drive For Starship Hospital
Hi I am Sebastian Subritzky from Room 13. I am a Year 3. I am doing a community project and I’m collecting new toys for Starship Hospital.
Starship is a hospital for children in Auckland. I am collecting new toys for children so they can play with them and so they aren’t scared of having an operation. The hospital needs any new toys and they don’t have to be expensive. They have a wish list. I will make boxes where you can drop off the toys. These will be in Room 13. Drop off is available until Friday 15th of September. Please donate. Thank you. Sebastian
Starship Hospital Wish List
• Individual packs of playing cards. • Matchbox cars. • ‘Invisible String’ book • Small Lego minifigures/packs. • Small bubble bottles. • Gift vouchers • Individually wrapped magazines with toys. • Baby Toys – Rattles, teething rings, wooden toys. • Small Fidget toys. • Pop its • Calico Dolls.
