Earth Week – Day 2

Dear NIS

Thank you for all of your great work during lunch today celebrate Earth Week!

Today is our second day of celebrating Earth Week and sharing the learning from our Service as Action projects. We will have stalls set up from 12:30 through to 1:15pm. Secondary students should go to Block 4 as usual at 12:55pm.

Some students have arranged with their Service as Action teacher to help with facilitate and pack up, which means a small number of students may return late to Block 4. This should be limited to a few students per Service as Action project. Please refer to Sara’s instructions in the Sunday bulletin for more details. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

I look forward to seeing you outside the hub during lunch!

Cheers
Mr Corbett
