On Saturday at the Rugby, Tom Creighton and his brother Ben had set up a number of bins around the Park that had posters on them requesting that bottles and cans be placed in the bins. Money would then be collected from the “return and earn” scheme. Why were Tom and Ben doing this? To help raise much needed funds for Parkinson’s Disease research. As the poster said: “Helping others – 10 cents at a time”.

Quite inspirational and a fine example of the young men that are being formed by the College and their families.

WHITE ELEPHANT STALL
Dear SJC families,
With the holidays coming up, the 2018 Spring Fair committee invites you to take some time to sort out your cupboards and garage and gather up items you may no longer want or need. Collections for Spring Fair will take place in Term 3.
Before choosing an item to give to White Elephant, consider whether you would want someone else to pay money for it. Soft toys are not always in good condition, games are missing parts or electrical products don’t work. Year 7 (as you may know having done this stall) work really hard to pull a huge amount of items together to sell for 100% profit to the P&F, so please don’t make them throw out your rubbish. It’s a terrific bonding experience for them (!!), and you may like to have a look at the Marie Kondo method (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/nov/27/top-tips-to-joyfully-declutter-your-home-from-marie-kondo) on the ‘Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up’ to ensure they enjoy it!
Details of drop-offs will be published in Term 3.
Have a great break with your boys.
The Spring Fair Organising Committee 2018.
