Free Dress Day (Blue and Yellow) Friday 1 July
This Friday 1 July, the Year 6 students are running a Free Dress Day (blue and yellow) to raise money for the Ukrainian refugees. A gold coin donation is all that is required, but as this is such a worthy cause, the Year 6 students will also be making a money chain in the quadrangle. Any spare cash would be appreciated to help the over 5,000,000 refugees fleeing their homeland.
All funds raised will go to UNICEF Ukraine Appeal.

Music News
With music programs up and running again, there are important events and dates being sent out. While I am in the process of creating emailing lists for all Junior Choir, Senior Choir, Concert Band and IMSS students, it is really important that parents with students involved in the music program are subscribed to the music blog. This means you won’t miss out on important dates or information. Simply go to www.wembleyps.wa.edu.au/music and subscribe today.
Thank you.
Mrs Kate Humphreys (nee Goyder)

Library – Holiday Reading
Just a reminder that students are encouraged to borrow over the holidays! Keen readers can borrow extra or parents are welcome to come into our cosy library and borrow also. Nothing better on these cold winter days that curling up with a book!

WPS Cookbook
Last chance to be part of WPS history!
Last year the P&C Fundraising Sub-Committee started organising a school cookbook to be published, featuring YOUR family/favourite recipes! We had lots of recipes submitted but not as many as we wanted, plus due to time restraints, we were unable to have the cookbook published in time for the Christmas Carnival.
We are now re-launching the cookbooks with recipe submissions open again, and with plenty of time to have the books printed for Term 4 and the Wembley Family Fun Day!
We would love for more families from within the school to submit a recipe for consideration in this cookbook. Please note that we will be editing the recipes and deleting any double ups, so please feel free to submit more than one. Previously submitted recipes will all still be included.
The submission process is SUPER simple – just head to www.PublishedAuthors.com.au, click on the ‘Submit Your Receipt Here’ button, then choose ‘Wembley Primary School’ from the drop down menu. Complete the form, fill in your recipe details and submit. That’s it!
We cannot wait to see all the amazing recipes that come through. This will be a keepsake of not only the school but also your child’s time there, for many years to come.
Pre-orders for the cookbook will be available via Qkr! in Term 4.
If you are a local business and would also like to purchase advertising space in the cookbook, please contact Victoria Martelli at wpsfundraising2022@gmail.com to enquire.
Recipe submissions are open until 5pm THIS Friday 1 July.
