Yesterday, students decided on ‘Free dress and anything but a school bag’ as a whole school reward. Working together as a whole school, and students having choice and voice, are two reasons why Howard SS is a great school! 🌟🎒

Thank you Dean Yipadee for joining us to celebrate Book Week. Deano joined us for an amazing performance that was enjoyed by all students. He also treated some students in 4/5M and 5/6M to a writing workshop. The students walked away with some amazing tips for their creative writing. Thank you so much for your time today Deano Yipadee!

🌈 COLOUR FUN RUN – WHAT SHOULD STUDENTS WEAR? 🌈

Our Colour Fun Run is happening Friday 11 September, and we’re getting ready for a whole lot of running, water, foam and COLOUR! 🎨🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

👕 WEAR WHITE 🤍
Happy to get covered in colour? White is the way to go! Students wearing white can be sprayed with our non-toxic coloured powder as they make their way around the course.

❤️ WEAR RED
Don’t want coloured powder? No worries! Students who do not wish to be sprayed with colour powder should wear a RED shirt. This will let our volunteers know not to spray them with coloured powder.

💦 BUT EVERYONE GETS WET!
Red or white, all students will run through the sprinklers and foam cannon, so everyone should come prepared to get wet! 🫧💦

👕 NEED A WHITE SHIRT?
We have a small number of plain white T-shirts available for just $2 through the Qkr! app.

⚠️ Limited sizes available — first in, best dressed!

Already have a white shirt? Choose an old one you don’t mind getting wet and colourful!

🌈🎨💦 Friday 11 September — LET THE COLOUR CHAOS BEGIN! 🌈🎨💦

💙💚 FATHER’S DAY STALL IS COMING! 💚💙

The P&C will be holding our annual Father’s Day Stall on Wednesday 2nd September, from 8:40am–10:45am! 🎁

Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the gifts we’ll have available for students to choose from. 👀🎁

💰 Gifts range from $1–$10
💵 Cash only

Each class will have their own designated time slot to visit the stall, so every student will get a chance to choose something special for Dad, Grandpa, Pop or another special person in their life. ❤️

We’re also looking for a few helpers to make the morning run smoothly! If you’re available to help at the stall, please let us know — we’d love to have you there. 💚

We can’t wait to see what the kids choose! 🎁
