Games for Water Wells – Let the Games Begin!
Dear Parents and Carers,
Get your children ready for some great fun for an even better cause! On Wednesday, 9 April, the Junior School will be buzzing with excitement as the Community Service Committee hosts our “Games for Water Wells” event.
During recess (Kindy to Year 2) and lunch (Years 3 to 6), students will take part in a mini carnival of games – all in support of raising funds to build life-changing water wells in Nepal.
Why Nepal?
Nestled in the Himalayas, Nepal is famous for Mount Everest, colourful prayer flags, and stunning landscapes – but many communities there don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. In fact, children in rural villages often walk for hours each day just to collect water… and it’s not always safe to drink. By building water wells, we can help bring health, safety, and time for education to children just like ours – all through a few gold coins and a whole lot of fun!
How it works:
- Donate $3 or more to your Community Service Rep to receive a coloured wristband.
- This wristband gives students unlimited access to all the games.
- Donations can be made in advance or on the day – but the sooner, the better!
The Games Line-Up Includes:
- Rugby/AFL Passing Challenge – Test your aim!
- Beat the Keeper – Can you get one past our fearless goalie?
- Bean Bag Throw – Precision meets fun.
- Basketball Hoops – Swish it like a pro.
- Astro Flyer – What is it? Who knows! But it sounds awesome.
Whether your son is a sporty superstar or just in it for the wristband, there is something for everyone. Let’s turn playtime into purpose and have a blast while helping kids in Nepal thrive. We hope to see all our little legends out on the field – wristbands on, ready to roll!
Warm regards,
The Community Service Committee
