Pink Stumps Day supports a very worthwhile cause, raising money for breast cancer with proceeds from the day going to the McGrath Foundation. It was great to see everyone get involved and embrace the lighter side of the day by wearing pink. Alongside this, an inventive way that the girls decided to raise extra funds was by developing a ‘fine’ system for those who forgot to wear pink clothes. Well done. 1-5 August — Individual Interviews for Year 10 Subject Selections At the full school assembly on Thursday 30 June some teachers got ‘pied’ 3 August — Musicale 6:30pm 4 August — Get Connected Year 8 Program based on bids made by students.

Strathfield Girls are proud to present The story of Jane and Glenn McGrath is known throughout this donation to the McGrath Foundation to help with the research for a cure for breast cancer and to support the Australia. The cricketer and his wife who suffered and passed away from breast cancer, has led to the formation of charity’s breast care nurses. what is now one of Australia's most respected and recognised charities - the McGrath Foundation. This esteemed charity raises money to place McGrath Breast Care nurses in communities across Australia to support families with breast cancer and spreads awareness in young people, especially women. Since the formation of the McGrath Foundation, there are over 110 McGrath Breast Care nurses providing support and services free of charge to over 44,000 families in our country. Pink Stumps Day is a day to fundraise money for the McGrath Foundation. This year, Pink Stumps Day at Strathfield Girls High School was held on 29 June, and it was a great success. Students and teachers dressed in pink, as a part of a whole school mufti day. All the food from the sausage sizzle (special thanks to Mr Ingrati for the amazing sausages) and bake sale sold out and the winner for the lolly -guessing competition was Nicole W from Year 10. The Pink Stumps Cricket Game ran throughout lunchtime in the hockey field where there were many enthusiastic players and spectators. Both teachers and students participated, but the students won by a greater margin. The ‘pie-ing’ competition took place at assembly the following day. With a total of $220.90, Mr Loke became destined to be pied and so were the Year 10 PASS teachers, Ms Cremin and Ms Edgtton after having raised more than $1500. Since there was a tonne of cream left, we decided to make extra pies, one for every other teacher who volunteered. So we thank Mr Loke, Ms Philip, Ms McDermott, Ms Cullen, Ms Shalini, Mr Down, Mr Grech, Ms Paleothodoros and Ms Li for letting us pie them right before parent-teacher interviews. Overall, Pink Stumps Day raised $3595.65, but failed to reach our goal of $4000. However, luckily for us, Ms Lyris has extended the donation time to Term 3 Week 6 for us to Sports News High School and Netball to be held at Tempe Reserve. Year 8 students have had the opportunity to select their sport and teams last Friday and were given a permission note which needs to be returned this week. Every term, 4 different classes from Year 7 and Year 8 are involved in swimming lessons at Enfield Aquatic Centre every Tuesday as part of their sporting program. Students are provided with the opportunity to learn how to swim, as well as a chance to extend their aquatic ability and increase their fitness levels. The PDHPE teachers at Strathfield Girls have created numerous lessons to be followed at the pool, which range from floating and kicking to learning different strokes and survival skills. The aim of the program is to develop the student’s skills so that they can become competent and confident in the water, as well as creating fun activities so that students can enjoy their time spent in the pool. The Gala Day for Year 8 is approaching and will be held on Wednesday 10 August. The Gala days are an opportunity for our students to play a Round Robin competition against other schools in our zone. The aim of the Gala Day is participation and fun. Students in Year 10 PASS classes have been given leadership opportunities as team coaches. They will train their teams in the weeks leading up to the event and assist with coaching and refereeing on the day.
