Please let us know what you think of the following ideas for the first part of Term 3, or suggest more of your own:

1. National Tree Day (27th July). This is the week we will launch the Justice League on assembly and thought we could plant a tree (or a tree seed) to signify the start of the group. What do you think?

2. World Youth Day (14th August). This coincides with the Vinnies and Brisbane Youth Service "Homeless Sleep Out". We could do a sleep out in the McKennariey Centre (if we get lots of people we will need to hire security so will cost  a lot - wont raise so much money), or do a movie night in Tierney Auditorium. For either option students will have to raise at least $20 (selling raffle tickets) to come along. Which one / other ideas?

3. "Stella Fella" against human trafficking (September 7). To raise money and awareness about Human Trafficking we will ask teachers and Yr 11 and 12 students to buy a bow time and wear it to school on the 7th of September. See http://www.projectfutures.com/stellafella/ for more info. How many people do you ?

4. Should we try to make some sort of APP!!??

We will also promote "Walk to the Philippines" and International Day of Peace and some other ideas later in the term, but please let us know what you think of these so far.

I really like the idea of planting a seed or a tree - I would consult Property and Services and see what options are availalbe to us - it would be great if the trees could be the outlline for the Year 6 garden project or could be some seedlings to get the garden going - even if they were put in the Year 6 classrooms to start the ball rolling.

Secondly I like the sleep out idea - even if we don't raise money but it is a giant street swag rolling party that night that would be a great acheivement - watch the movie from the comfort of your swag and get big companies to sponsor each swag that is rolled.

I believe the ideas proposed are great and are easily achievable. Could we maybe have the boys walk around the school fund raising money on a home game?
