Parents & Friends 

🌈The Colour Fun Run promises to be a fantastic afternoon for everyone. Parents are welcome to volunteer and join in the excitement - please contact the Office for more information action.  The school are sooooo close to hitting their fundraising goal for a GaGa Pit 🤞🏻

👩🏽‍🍳Thank you to those families who ordered Hot Cross Buns.  Orders can be collected on Thursday the 7th of April, and Friday the 8th of April. 

🥐The Family Breakfast is on Friday the 8th of April - it’s a great chance to catch up with parents, carers and staff after a long 2 years of COVID disruption. We’ll be holding the breakfast in the courtyard, and would love some helpers for the morning.

Times to be filled are:

7am-7:30 Setting up

🥣 If you are finding yourself struggling financially during this time, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jess who is our Community Services Representative. She will maintain the strictest of privacy and can help with getting food on the table for your family. You might need help with school snacks or lunches, or even dinners for the week. 

Similarly, if you find yourself in a secure financial place at the moment, you might like to reach out to Jess to see how you can provide confidential support to others in our community. You can email Jess at:

🍫Don’t forget to get your raffle tickets back for the Easter Hamper Raffle! Thank you very much to everyone who has donated chocolate or baskets to make the raffle a success. This year Emily Harnett & I put together 22 hampers, and another 4 hampers were donated by Vaishali Jain. Thank you also to the Jacobs family for a large donation of chocolate. There are going to be some very happy winners on Friday!

🎁 The Mothers Day Stall will be happening on Friday the 6th of May for the school children, and earlier that week for the kindergarten children. Gifts will be priced between $2.50 & $5.50. Unfortunately the costs of buying the gifts have risen significantly this year, but we’ve chosen to keep the costs of the stall as low as possible. 

It would be great if there are still a few Dad’s who are working from home who could volunteer for an hour or so on the morning of the Mothers Day Stall. An online sign up sheet will be created soon. 

👍🏻 If you haven’t already, please join the Parents Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mprpsparentsandfriends/

It is a great place to stay up to date with school events and connect with fellow parents. Please remember to answer the two questions when you request to join.
