Christmas Update

Dear Parents / Carers

With Christmas fast approaching we thought we’d update you on our plans for the festive season:

The Darlinghurst 2010 School Calendar – following its huge popularity last year we have once again produced a calendar with school term and holiday dates, as many school events as can be pre-arranged, and illustrated it with children’s self portraits. An example of the calendar will soon be available for you to view in the office reception area and calendars (priced £2.50 each or £2 each for two or more) can be ordered on the reply slip attached to this letter.

Letter from Father Christmas – We have again made an agreement with Father Christmas that he will write to your children if we get £2.00 to cover postage from the North Pole. As this was very popular and Father Christmas was ever so busy doing the letters we have included 2 reply slips if other family members wish to hear from Santa.
Last date for posting is 11th December so make sure your request is in before then.

Christmas Raffle – our ever popular Christmas raffle will be drawn after the children’s evening Christmas performance on the 10th December. Strips of raffle tickets for you to buy £1 a strip are being sent out, please could we ask that a name and contact number are written on each ticket ,as each strip is divide into 5 separate tickets and we don’t want anyone to miss out due to no contact on the ticket.
We would ALSO be delighted to receive your donations of Christmas goodies to go into the RAFFLE. Thank you.

Christmas Quizzes & Competitions – This year we are running separate festive competitions or quizzes for each school year. The cost is 50p per entry and the prizes will be Chocolate Selection Boxes for the children. Quiz sheets will be sent home soon and the last date for entries will be Friday 11th and the winners will be announced on Wednesday 16th December

PTA Disco –the discos for ks1 and ks2 will held on the 28th of January This Year we have a professional DJ who will be hosting this special event. More details to follow in the ‘NEW YEAR’ PTA Newsletter.


Merry Christmas!
