To be released on our ‘<strong>150</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Celebration</strong> <strong>Day</strong>’<br />
One of the highlights of the ‘<strong>150</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Celebration</strong> <strong>Day</strong>’, which is Friday 22 nd March 2013,<br />
will be the release of Monarch butterflies. We hope to release <strong>150</strong> Monarch butterflies to<br />
commemorate <strong>150</strong> years of education and heritage at <strong>Doncaster</strong> <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Monarch butterflies are the most beautiful of all butterflies, some say, and are considered<br />
the ‘King’ of the butterflies, hence the name ‘Monarch’. The adult Monarch butterflies are<br />
orange-brown with black wing veins and a black and white spotted band along the edge of<br />
the wings. They are found in eastern and southern Australia. They are commonly seen in Sydney during summer,<br />
usually flying at ground level. The earliest sighting of this butterfly in Sydney was in 1871. More interesting facts on<br />
the Monarch butterflies are available at australianmuseum.net.au/Wanderer-Butterfly .<br />
We encourage individual, groups and families to adopt the Monarch butterflies for release. Each butterfly will be<br />
housed in a specially designed triangular box that can be kept as a memento after the release. Bring along your<br />
camera for photographic memories!<br />
The cost to adopt each butterfly is $10. Please complete the reply slip below and return it to the Office, with the<br />
appropriate payment. These reply slips will be processed in order of receipt. Please reply promptly, as we expect<br />
the <strong>150</strong> Monarch butterflies to be adopted very quickly!<br />
The closing date has been extended to Friday, 15 th March 2013.<br />
We look forward to seeing the release of these beautiful Monarch butterflies at our ‘<strong>150</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Celebration</strong> <strong>Day</strong>’ on<br />
Friday 22 nd March.<br />
Regards,<br />
The <strong>150</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Celebration</strong> Committee<br />
