Carnavale
St Augustine’s will be celebrating ‘Carnevale’ dress up day on Thursday 18th March. All students and staff are asked to come to school dressed up in their favourite Italian Themed character/costume.
Students are encouraged to wear an Italian themed costume representing an Italian icon such as Pinocchio, a gondoliere, a famous Italian artist, scientist or inventor, a popular Italian car, Italian food, a chef, Mona Lisa, la Befana etc. Use your imagination and get some inspiration from Italian culture and folklore.
If students do not have a costume they could wear something with the Italian colours verde – green, bianco – white and rosso – red. However, you may choose to wear any other costume in the spirit of ‘Carnevale’.
St Augustine’s Costume Parade will take place during school time, gelato will be provided to all the children and there will be fun and engaging ‘Carnevale’ activities for them to enjoy throughout the day.
The children will also be given the opportunity to taste traditional Italian ‘pizzelle’ wafers.

Have you ever ridden a roller coaster? Have you ever wanted to design your own?
