Dear New Farm State School Families

We still need volunteers to make the disco a roaring success. If you haven’t already, please consider helping out to set up, during the event and to pack down.  You can follow a link below. We especially need helpers and 7pm and 8 pm.

Thanks for your help everyone.  With a little bit of help from everyone, the night will be a great success.

Best regards

Fiona Caniglia

Safety guidelines for costumes at the Disco

We have become aware that some older students are planning on dressing up as characters from The Joker and other adult characters that may cause younger children to feel or be afraid.

We would ask everyone to follow these guidelines in helping their children plan a costume:

• Remember there will be very young children at the event
• Aim for fun Halloween themes but avoid very scary costumes that may cause young children to feel/be afraid. Prizes will be awarded for the most fun and funny costumes
• Remember smaller children don’t necessarily separate pretending from something real (a wonderful stage of life) and that might mean that an older child dressed in a costume that looks terrifying might seem completely real and leave them feeling unsafe). Aim for fun and funny!

Prizes for most fun and funny Halloween Costume judged at 7.30pm

Prizes will be available for the most fun and funny Halloween Costumes on the night. First, second and third will be judged at 7.30pm in front of the stage. Everyone who wants to take part should make their way to the stage just before 7.30pm.

The New Farm State School Halloween Disco : Date Claimer and Call for Volunteers

The much loved New Farm State School Halloween Disco will take place on Friday 1 November from 6.00pm.

There will be a Disco with activities and games, bar, food, home bake for charity and other treats.  It is a great night for

families to gather and enjoy our amazing school community.

A call for home-bake to sell on the night for charity

Please reply to fiona.caniglia@gmail.com if you can provide some home-bake for sale.  All proceeds will go to charity via the community and charity group at school. Cup-cakes, brownies and sweets are always popular but any contributions will be fantastic.

Bring an item of non-perishable food for a Christmas Food Pantry

Bring an item of non-perishable food for a Christmas Food Pantry to help local charities as well as they work to help homeless people and other vulnerable households through the Christmas period. Collection bins will be on hand.  Tinned food is great as is rice, pasta and Christmas treats.

We need at least 30 volunteers to make the night a success!

To make it a great occasion we need parents to consider volunteering for various tasks on the day.  We need at least 30 volunteers to handle setting up, bar/canteen and pack down so please consider giving one hour of your time.

You can register to volunteer at this link. You can also contact Fiona on 0400 196 492 if you have any questions or ideas.
