In the week beginning June the 30th, the school will celebrate an Italian cultural week. A number of things will happen during this week.

Firstly, for the grade 3s to 6, there will be a school incursion on Monday the 30th of June. This will be held in the school hall. Foundation to grade 2, will have their incursion on Thursday the 3rd of July. This will also be in the hall.

On Thursday, the 3rd of July at about 9am, we will have a school parade. Parents, family and friends are warmly welcomed to attend. The children are invited to dress up in the Italian colours (green, white and red) or as an Italian character. 

Some simple ideas are as follows:

•  a pizza chef - just need a pizza box and an apron 
•  a gondolier driver - a stripey top and black pants
•  gelato (ice cream) - a colourful wig with brown clothing 
•  a Carnevale participant- a mask (can be made or Spotlight has some)
•  a soccer player - soccer top and soccer ball
•  a painter like Michelangelo - school art smock or old shirt and a paintbrush
•  any clothing with the Italian colours (red, white green) - some children wear  green  sports tops on sports day and all children have a red polo shirt. 
•  An Italian flag

During this week, the children will also be able to taste some gelati. We will also have available gluten and dairy free sorbet, such as Gelativo from Woolies.  If your child is not able to have gelati because of health issues, please contact Carla Scholtes on the email address below, to arrange an alternative. The gelati will be served in cups, not cones. (cscholtes@stmtraralgon.catholic.edu.au).
