Routine – don’t we love a good rountine

Week 3 is almost complete and most families would have settled into the routine of packing lunches, sport, homework, driving all over Sydney and of course washing. Thank you to all the parents who went along to the swimming carnival on Tuesday to support the boys and the teaching staff to organise a great event. Although hot and noisy for the parents, all the boys enjoyed being a part of their “house” and cheering each other on.

We have many exciting events coming up during 2013 and to kick off the Wyvern Social activities we have the Annual Ladies Dinner on Friday 15^th March to be held at ‘4143 at the James Barnes at Alexandria’. Look out for the invitation coming via email within the next week. Organise your table for your year group and come along and enjoy the night.

On Friday 22^nd March we will host the first of the Sesquicentenary Celebrations with 150^th Years in Sport. To be held at the Dockside restaurant, Darling Harbour. Click here for the invitation.  Seats are selling fast so gather your year group or company for a designated table with silent auction items, lucky balloons, a sports panel and “Dine with a Star” options.

Thursday 21^st February we will be holding our first Wyvern P&F Meeting for 2013 at 7.00pm until 8:30pm. We have invited Julie Woods, a Year 6 parent to do a brief presentation about nutrition and keeping you and your family #1. She will give tips about packing lunch boxes and keeping boys motivated to eat healthy food for sustained energy. Mr Holden will also give a brief update about the strategic plans for Wyvern House moving forward.

FREE CHILD MINDING AND HEALTHY PIZZA WILL BE AVAILABLE – the wonderful Gap Students will be supervising the children on the roof top, feel free to bring siblings.

Save this date and bring your umbrella!!!!! The Great Garden Party will be on again – Friday 5^th April , for an afternoon in the gardens for all the family. Pizza, lemonade, cupcakes, “smash a Jaffa” and sticky wicket  are just to name a few of the activities and food options for the boys (and girls) to enjoy.

Thank you to all the parents who attended the Welcome Cocktail Party. Despite the rain, hail and thunderstorms we went ahead with the gathering and over 300 parents enjoyed the function hosted by Wyvern P&F. This was a great opportunity to meet new and current parents in your year group. From feedback from the parents, it was a great function with excellent food. Everyone loves a “slider” so thank you to Laissez-faire Catering for providing such tasty delights for all.

Don’t forget you can purchase your 150^th celebration mementos such as Newington Monopoly, 150^th Cufflinks, books and ties. Order forms are available at the front office and items will be delivered to your son’s class by the following week. There are only a small amount of Monopoly games available so get in fast before you miss out.

With cooler weather ahead, all boys wearing the tracksuit outside of the school must wear the complete set (jacket and pant)s. Tracksuits are available at the Uniform Shop along with all your winter uniforms for Term 2. Winter Uniform includes blazer, woollen shorts and a long sleeve shirt. All boys must wear the winter uniform from Term 2.
