WHAT IS CFD?

Community Focus Day commonly shortened to CFD, is a day set on raising funds for a chosen charity. This charity is then promoted through a various mean to attain funds, common activities which include sausage sizzle, chocolate toss, and specialised activities as seen from Term 1 CFD. Why do we host CFD? To raise awareness about a certain cause or issue that our school community as a whole can contribute to. We believe this is greatly important too as it will bring the school together more closely. CFD's are all planned by leadership team to choosing the charity, planning the activities and organising the plan obviously everything run by and approved by the HOH and AP team. In Term 1, We supported the Dylan Alcott Foundation in order to rasie awareness and funding into disability in sports. We raised approx $1700. Whilst doing an amazing job there are a couple changes we will be making in the future to better organise CFD.

Activity 4 - Seth Nolan Talk

Activity 3 - Science Show

This activity involves a science show in the science rooms (E8 maybe) demonstrating Indigenous science or really general science experiments that everyone loves to see. This will run at lunch either on Friday or open to another day that week to separate the chaos on the day. But if possible get it to be on Friday! Things that need to happen:

• Main contact with Mrs Westmore and Mrs Schulz to discuss ideas of potential experiments you could do. If stuck you can talk to Mr Message or Mr Pearson as they are part of Reconcilliaton Party, they can help with simple ideas for the science department to use.
• Paid event so need money collection to watch and participate.
• Regulate crowd - dont want people mucking around especially if experiments are dangerous a little.
• Once finalised discuss with Science teachers what support they need. You as leaders should regulate the crowd and collect the donations.

Seth Nolan, who is our Koorie Engagement Support Officer, is coming in and discussng about the importance of preserving culture. This is open to those who are interested. This will run P4 on the day most probably in the FLC. Things that need to happen:

• House Captains will mostly be in contact with Seth Nolan
• Put out the survey on every single year level team page for expression of interest (it has been written just need to be finalised with Mr Stevens in terms of using the FLC)

• Us leaders ALL are highly encouraged to participate. Especially all Juniors who should be there!
• Not paid - but think about questions you might want to ask and make a doc or word with questions (any questions add them to the form), this is a great opportunity to ask how can we as a school continue to preserve culture and respect and close the gap?

3. Objectives

Activity 6 - Chocolate Toss

Activity 5 - Sausage Sizzle

The usual star of CFD's - the one and only Sausage Sizzle. Sausage Sizzle is run at lunch time. This is a senior run activity (sorry juniors). Key thing is that this activity can become quite hectic!! And involves a lot of money and food safety measures, hence only seniors are allowed. Things that need to happen:

• Order of sausages - vegan sausages, beef sausages - talk to Mr Shannon
• Get money box from General Office + eftpos machine
• Set up tables outside of library
• Check with HOH if yr11 or 12 VM Class have food handling safety certificate so they can cook sauages - NO leaders should be cooking - if no then get staff to do - Stevo, Darren, Shannon whoever is willing to help with cooking.
• Leaders will be handling the money and handing out the sausages

Another star of CFD, Chocolate toss is an activity students participate to earn a block of chocolate. Obviously it is a paid event and runs every CFD. Things that need to happen:

• Organise the trolley that the chocolate toss happens on with Darren (Maintenance Guy)
• Order chocolates with HOH - dont need more than 10-12

• On the day make sure there are enough of you to regulate the chocolate toss - money collection and chocolate bars on the day are evenly distributed.
• Money box for chocolate toss or something to collect cash.

7. State of the issue

BUT THE MAIN ACT: ADVERTISING!!

However, to tie the entire day together..the most important thing to do for CFD is Advertising!! Advertising allows everyone to be informed that CFD is running. That it will be an out of uniform day (gold coin donation). There are multiple ways to advertise however it is also a crucial part of CFD to become successful, hence it should be done the best out of all. A couple ways to Advertise:

Posters and Visuals around the school.

Teams post and compass notification - can put it up as a Compass event

Talk to classes
