Mother's Day Stall and afternoon tea

We are only one week away from the Mother Day afternoon tea please join us on Thursday 9 May from 2:30pm to 4:00pm.

 

Bookings are essential for both adults and students. Tickets will be $10 each. Bookings can be made at https://www.trybooking.com/CRJUJ

The Providence gate will be open from 2:15pm so parents are welcome to park there and walk through to the Food Technology Building where your children will join you from 3pm.

 

Please be patient with parking as there will be more people onsite.

During the day the primary school students will get the opportunity to visit the Mother'S Day Stall to buy one gift, they can then return at lunch to purchase anything else they would like. 

 

Please remember to give your child/ren some money to purchase a gift, $10 to $20 is plenty. Gifts will range from $4 to $10 with bags and cards available for $1 each.

If you would like to help with either the Mother's Day stall or afternoon tea or if you wish to assist by donating items please email pandf@aitkencollege.edu.au

These events can’t happen without your support. 

Trivia Night

It’s time to gather your friends together or meet some new ones at the P&F Trivia Night, being held on Friday 24th May.

 

This is a great chance for you show your vast knowledge of fun facts, have a laugh and meet some other members of our community. 

 

Teams of 8 will complete for “College Medals”. If you don’t have 8, come alone or with a few others and we will help you find a team for the night. With topics as diverse as entertainment, music, Australia and sport, there will be questions for everyone.

 

Entry is free but bring cash on the night as you will get the chance to “buy an answer” to increase you chances of winning. There will be other games held in between rounds and spot prizes throughout the night.

 

P&F will also be running a raffle on the night to be drawn when the winners of the night are announced. 

BYO nibbles and drinks at bar prices.

This is an 18+ event only. To be held at the Skyways Hotel Function Room, arrive from 6.30pm for a 7:00pm start.

Community Business Directory 2024 Fundraiser

Many families in the Aitken College community manage or own a business. Each year as a Fundraiser the Parents & Friends Association compile a community business directory to provide a way in which we can support local business. The 2024 Business Directory commenced in March and will run for a 12 month period. Aitken families may purchase a space for $50.00 to promote and advertise their business. You can find the Business Directory on the College website and in the newsletter. Please support this fundraiser by completing the form below and returning it to the Accounts Office with your payment.

“insert community business directory here”

Pre-loved Uniform Donations

If you have Aitken College uniform items at home that are no longer in use and are in wearable condition, we would love to have them. The Parents and Friends Association clean and iron the donated uniform items and re-sell them at our quarterly Pre-loved Uniform Sales with all the funds going back to the Parents and Friends Association fundraising account. The items can be dropped off in our clothing bin near the main Reception. Please remember that the items need to be in a wearable condition, and we do not have a market for re-sale of Aitken socks.
