Parents and Friends 

This week we held our monthly meeting in the Community Room, a big THANK YOU to everyone that attended and contributed to the meeting and planning of the upcoming events.

The success of our events and fundraising relies on the support and participation of parents, carers and the school community. You can get involved by joining the PFA committee or attending our monthly meetings or volunteering to be a parent helper.  Working together allows us to foster a great school community spirit and the students love seeing their parents/carers at school events.  

Please contact Sabrina the PFA President  by emailing sfspfa@sfslynbrook.catholic.edu.au if you're interested in joining.

Donations for the Easter Raffle

It would be wonderful if each family could donate Easter chocolates or other Easter-themed gifts for our raffle. We will use your donations to make raffle prizes. The more donations we receive, the more prizes on offer!  Donations can be left at the school office.  

Your donations are greatly appreciated!

This year we are supporting The Monash Children’s Hospital by selling raffle tickets that have gone home this week so please help us make a big difference!

Easter Raffle

The P&F annual Easter Raffle is on Friday 4th April. Winners will be pre-drawn and handed out before the end of the day. To spread the joy to as many children as possible, only one raffle prize will be awarded per student. Raffle tickets were sent home to each family this week. Tickets are $1 each. If you missed out, please collect some tickets from the office.

All money raised will be donated to the Monash Children’s Hospital.

Please return all raffle tickets (both sold and unsold) along with the money and your family’s Easter raffle donation by Wednesday 3rd April 2025.

Chocolate Eggs – Friday 4th April

The P&F have spoken to the Easter Bunny and organised a free chocolate egg as a special treat for every student to celebrate Easter!!

We need volunteers who are available between 10:45-11:25am to sell icy poles. Volunteers work on a roster system and we are very grateful for your time. If any parents are available on a Friday morning to assist, please email Sabrina at sfspfa@sfslynbrook.catholic.edu.au.  

Second Hand Uniforms 

The PFA run a regular Second Hand Uniform Shop. These uniforms have kindly been donated by families who have moved away or when students have outgrown their uniforms. All items are $5. Dates will be listed in the newsletter throughout the year.   

Please donate uniform! If you can donate uniform in good condition to the school, we would be very grateful as the funds raised go directly back into the school community. Donations of laundered uniform can be made at the school office. 

We thank the members of the PFA Committee for volunteering their time and talents so that we can enrich the school experience of every SFS student.
