Parents & Friends Association
From Sarah Glover, President
Major Fundraiser 2022
It has been at least two years since the P&F have been able to hold a major event that embraced participation from the ‘whole School’; Pre-prep to Year 12.
Two years was way too long, judging by the enthusiasm and fun with which the whole School embraced the P&F Trivia Fundraiser on Friday 5th August at the Orange Function Centre.
The P&F Trivia event was generously supported on so many levels. 370 parents and friends purchased tickets. Families and local and regional businesses donated items for the raffle, games’ prizes and silent auction fundraisers. This included cash raised from families and friends to help the night get going.
Oh! And did we mention the army of volunteers? Raising money relies on people power to bring it home and that’s exactly what happened. We had so many wonderful volunteers working on the lead up, setting up on the day, working in the kitchen and helping with the components of the event on the night – everyone including the guests were happy to get amongst it for a good cause.
Thanks must go to the School’s Marketing and Engagement Manager, Jennifer Divall who was the rock behind us – helping with printing, managing tickets sales, payment facilities, guest list, ferrying items and masterfully organising the tables, sending out numerous promotions and communications and of course the table themes!
And the night? It was just pure fun!
Due to everyone’s amazing enthusiasm and generosity we able to meet our fundraising target of $25,000.00.
Thank you to everyone who was part of this event – the P&F’s goal this year is to raise money to support the upgrade of the Performance Theatre. The refurbishment of this facility is part of the School’s Capital Development Program. Thank you to the School community in assisting to provide ‘the cream on top’ for furnishings and equipment for this great space. This will benefit many students for years to come.
