On Wednesday 5th March, Cranmer House will be holding their Charity Day to raise money for the Congo Aid charity organisation. Congo Aid began as a response to the unending crisis, ‘silent tsunami’ of human suffering in the Democratic Republic of Congo due to ongoing civil war, disease and poverty. Congo Aid through The Committee for Children in Distress support a struggling new orphanage and the associated Mutawanzuki School. For more information about the work of Congo Aid, please visit Congo Aid (www.congoaid.org)

What’s Happening?

Recess

Cake stall: Students can purchase a variety of sweet treats at recess – students can use Cranmer tokens or cash to purchase. These are available until sold out.

• Years 7 - 12 orders will be collected from the Cenotaph at lunch.

Activities:

On the day, Students will be able to participate in a variety of carnival-style games which will cost 1 token each ($1 per token, purchased through Flexischools).

• K-2 activities include a lolly jar guessing competition, egg and spoon race and the ‘chicken throw’ competition!

• Years 3-6 activities include face painting, lolly jar guessing competition, football pass challenge, Frisbee throw challenge, Nerf target challenge and cornhole comp.

• Years 7-12 activities include a Mario cart challenge, prize wheel game, prize pong lucky dip and more. There will be a maximum purchase of 6 tokens per person. This is due to the limited amount of time students have to participate in the games at lunch (max 3-4 activities per student). Extra donations through Flexischools are more than welcome. 

What to wear:

Students in Cranmer House can wear their sports uniform. All other students are expected to wear the normal uniform for the day.

Important Note: Make sure that you order all lunch food and tokens through Flexischools no later than 2pm Monday 3rd March. Up to a maximum of 6 tokens per person.
