Community Service Clubs are popular and are now fully subscribed for Term 1. These clubs are a great way to get involved with the community through making new friends from local schools, trying new activities and sharing experiences with other children. Did you know that Community Service Clubs are in addition to your 2-club allotment? That means that even if you are already a member of two after school clubs, you can ADD a Community Service Club as a bonus. And every Community Service Club is FREE! Keep an eye out for more Community Clubs next term.
Some Community Service curriculum links are also starting in Term 1. Students from Years 1, 2, 4, and 5 will take part in great projects with their class. Here is a summary of what these students will do:
