NFSS P&C is excited to present the student Obstathon
Thursday, September 17, 2020

This is a fun physical challenge for all NFSS students and an opportunity to raise some money to support the school!   

When:  Thursday 17 September

Where: NFSS oval

What:    Each class has 40 minutes to complete as many laps of an obstacle course as they choose.  Obstacles will include Monkey Bars – Balance Beam – Inflatable Course – Tyre Run – Net Crawl – Rings and more!
 (Watch out for the BONUS obstacle! Can you do it without touching the ground?)

Who:     Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, this event is for students only.  Sorry, but parents won’t be able to watch this time. 

What to wear:   House coloured shirt, remember your hat and sunscreen.

Why:     The aim of the event is to raise $6,000 to support the new Arts curriculum for our students at NFSS.  We value the importance of the arts in our school every day.  We believe a rich arts program contributes to all aspects of a child’s development, including their physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and creative selves. It provides a safe place for children to learn about and express their feelings and moods; understand the feelings of others; and practise social skills and collaboration.  Through the arts children can express their thoughts, ideas, and opinions.  It gives them a way to communicate which builds confidence and fosters a sense of self - of who they are - and wellbeing.

Sponsorship:      Students are sponsored by donations of a fixed amount for participating in the Obstathon.  Each child will receive a form to record their sponsors and donations collected.  Please return the sponsorship form with the sponsorship money to the P&C volunteers under A block before school 8:30am to 9am from Monday, 14 September through to Thursday, 17 September.  

Sponsorship Form

Prizes:  

1. Students win a point for their House each time a lap of the obstacle course is completed. You may win extra points for your House or special Kookie stamps for excellent teamwork, showing support for friends and generally demonstrating school values.  There will be a House colour free dress day for the highest points awarded on the day.
2. The class that raises the most money receives a pizza lunch.
3. The House that raises the most money receives a disco in the Hall at lunch time.
