Hot cross bun orders were due back this week. 

Thank you to all of you who purchased some of these delicious Easter treats. 

With a portion of each pack sold going back to the school, they work out to be calorie free so enjoy!

All orders will be ready to collect from the Community room next Wednesday the 6th April after school, preferably by a parent/guardian. 

What a fantastic response we have had to our donation call out for the Easter raffle. We have been overwhelmed with the generosity of all your donations and we love to see them still coming in. The more donations, the more prizes we can obviously draw on the day.

We have also been gobsmacked by some of the monetary donations that have come through with the raffle tickets. 

Remember all proceeds go to the Monash Children’s Hospital, and we will be so proud to present a cheque to them on behalf of our wonderful community. 

Stay tuned for the final tally raised!

The raffle will be drawn on the last day of school with all winning families needing to be present that day to collect their prize. 

We are unable to store them over the school holidays.

As mentioned previously the PFA were proud to donate last Fridays icy pole takings to the Ukraine bake sale. Through icy pole sales we raised $100.50 and rounded it up proudly to $120.00.

With only 1 week remaining until the Colour Explosion Fun Run we are seeing some fantastic fundraising by some students. 

This is one of our largest yearly fundraisers so make sure to keep asking family, friends, neighbours…even the postie! 

Every little bit helps and with some amazing prizes up for grabs we all walk away winners.

The TOP 3 students who raise the most money will be awarded with an extra special gift from the PFA to thank them for their hard fundraising efforts.

There is also an exciting class prize for the home group that raises the most money so get fundraising.

Currently we have raised $3,700. Lets keep bringing the donations in.

The PFA were today proud to present the children who made their first reconciliation this week with a delicious cupcake. It is through fundraising efforts by you all that we can continue to offer these special things for the kids.

A MASSIVE thank you to
