Next Terms topic is ‘PCS Meets The World’. In this unit the children will create the ‘Perfect Term’ and compete against other teams in the PCS Olympic Tournament where our year levels country is Indonesia. For this, the students will require a white t-shirt to dye at school for our team uniform. This will represent the Indonesian flag with the top half being dyed red and the bottom half left white. We require these to be brought to school before the end of this term. These will be kept at school and worn weekly. If your child does not have a white t-shirt they can be purchased from Target for $3.
