Greetings from the Newington College Lindfield Camp Australia team

We hope everyone had an excellent holiday over the Term 2 break and that every child is having a great Term 3 at Newington College. This news update is just to keep both parents and students updated regarding our weekly activities and current programs running at Newington College Lindfield After School Care.

We have had some exciting weekly themes this term at After School Care. For Week 1 of this term we ran a Star Wars week. This included many art and craft activities appropriate for children of all ages. The most popular of these craft activates were Star Wars Yoda masks and Jedi themed Origami. For week 2 we had an educational savannah themed week. This gave the boys an opportunity to learn about a complex ecosystem and the endangered animals that live there. This week is Pokemon week. This theme was suggested by the boys of our after school care service and has been very popular. Our goal is to have a permanent display wall in our service dedicated to all the Pokemon themed art activities we have completed this week.

For Term 3, Camp Australia will begin its charity fundraiser program for The Smith Family’s Back 2 School program. We will have a donation box at our service if any parents wish to make a personal contribution. This program is being implemented nationwide across all Camp Australia services with Camp Australia matching every dollar donated.

Also just a reminder, if you have a boy attending our after school care service with a medical condition, please alert our staff members. For boys with allergies, anaphylaxis, asthma or any condition that requires medication we require a doctor completed medical management plan together with a supply of their medication. In addition to this we require completed authorisation forms which allow Camp Australia staff members to follow these action plans as well as administer medication. Camp Australia staff members are able to provide you with these forms.

We hope everyone will have a fantastic Term 3.
