What is P&F?

Come and find out about the Parents and Friends Association (P&F) next Tuesday 7th February 7:30pm at our first meeting for 2023!

Ormond Primary School has a strong Parents and Friends Association, which helps run events at the school that foster a sense of belonging and community, while also raising much needed funds for the school. If you are interested in finding out more about the Parents and Friends Association and ways to become involved, please come along to our next monthly meeting. Our first meeting of the year will be held on Tuesday 7th February at 7:30pm in the staff room (just enter the school via the Office and head to the right through the library area). If you can’t make that date, another meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 7th March at 7:30pm. Everyone is welcome! Please email Heather Hosken  if you would like further details.

Welcome Picnic, Friday 17th February 5:30pm – bookings are now open!!

Welcome in the new school year and meet other families at our annual 'Rainbow Welcome Picnic', being held in the school grounds on Friday 17th February from 5:30pm onwards. Our Welcome Picnic is a great way to mingle with other parents and their children. You can bring along your own picnic food, drinks, picnic rug and chairs, or you may wish to use one of the two food trucks that will be on site selling pizza, ice cream and donuts. Tickets to attend this event are just $3 per person, with the money raised helping us to cover the cost of running similar events.

Foundation - Red

  • Year 1 - Orange
  • Year 2 - Yellow
  • Year 3 - Green
  • Year 4 - Light Blue

Please contact Heather Hosken if you have any queries.

 

Please note: all food provided by the food trucks is cooked to order and some wait times will occur. It is recommended that you bring along additional picnic food if longer wait times will be challenging for your family members.

Call-out for help – Class Representatives 2023

Parents and Friends are seeking parents or carers to volunteer to be our designated Class Representatives for their child’s class. We generally have one to two Class Representatives per class. This role involves helping to organise social events for your child’s class such as park catch ups or parent dinners, welcoming new families to the class as they join, assisting the teacher with minor tasks such as finding volunteers to attend school excursions, and helping to coordinate an end of year gift for the teacher. If you are interested please contact Amy Ashford. We’d love to hear from you!

 

We welcome new volunteers and new ideas!  You can contact us at anytime on  p.and.f.ormond@gmail.com.
