Rule of the Week - holsworthy public school

Silly Sock Day
Holsworthy Public School supports many charities locally, nationally and globally. We sponsor 2 children
through World Vision. To raise money for our children this year we are holding a ‘Silly Sock’ day in
Week 10 Thursday 20 September. If children wish to participate they are required to bring a gold coin
donation on the day. Thank you in advance for supporting this cause.

The Great Swap
The “Great Book Swap”, took place in Week 6 as part of our Book Week celebrations. What a
marvellous event this was. The quality and variety of books was outstanding. Many excited children
visited the library several times in search of another book. I would personally like to thank all parents,
children and teachers who donated pre loved books. The event was a great success, raising $594.70.
The money will be donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundations who provide resources for children
who live in remote indigenous communities.

FRUIT ‘N’ VEG MONTH
Pieces of fruit and vegetables will be sold each day at recess and lunch at the hall. Cost 20c a piece.
Eating enough fruit and vegetables is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle and is vital in reducing the
risk of health-related disease. During Week 8, we will be participating in Fruit ‘n’ Veg Month. This is a
fantastic chance for kids and their families to get excited about fruit and veg.
FRUIT AND VEG: HOW MUCH SHOULD I BE EATING?
Eating 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables is a good rule of thumb for the family in general.
Take a moment to look at the table below to find out how many serves each member of your family
needs to eat.
AGE (years) VEGETABLES (serves) FRUIT (serves)
4 – 7 2 1
8 – 11 3 1
12 – 18 4 3
Adults 5 2
The amount of fruit and veg required by children changes, based on their age. Their level of activity
should also be taken into account when considering their dietary needs.
