Please make sure that the costumes are clearly labelled with your son's name and class. If anyone else has a child size national costume, from any country which they are willing to lend to us for our service, please send it to the office, as above. Chris Robertson - Director of Junior Primary Merchandise for 150 Celebration Year Proposals for a range of special merchandise, including pullovers, sports singlets, caps and other items were recently considered by auxiliary representatives. Samples were also displayed at the Junior School Sports Day. After further consideration of the problems associated with identifying specific sizes, minimum order requirements, financial guarantees and the necessity for ordering by 20 October to enable overseas manufacture, a decision has been made that the original proposal is unworkable.
Alternative arrangements are now under consideration.
As part of the 150 Celebrations in 2001, the Art Department of the Junior School will embark on a major project. This project will involve every boy in the Junior School from the very new Preps to Years 6 boys. Boys will be working in the medium of mosaics to construct a bird bath surrounded by clay tiles made by Junior Primary boys, with a special insert of the Scotch Burning Bush and the letters '150', made by Year 6 boys in mosaic tiles. The bird bath will be a sculptural piece with bird, frogs and lizards set into the mosaic tile work. An Artist in Residence will be assisting boys in this major project but we will need parent assistance as well.
