Community Events

Volunteer! 

The election is coming soon on Saturday 3 May, which means we need support to run a democracy sausage sizzle and cake stall! If you're up for baking something, please drop it off at the front office on Friday 2 May, along with a full list of ingredients. It’s a great way to get involved if you can’t volunteer on the day -- and trust us, everything sells! So don’t worry about being a pro-baker. Whether it is biscuits, brownies, a slice, an entire cake or banana bread, whatever you make will be absolutely appreciated. This is a great fundraiser for the school so if you can spare an hour or two on Saturday morning, and/or bake some cakes, please put your name on our sign up sheet here. Kids are welcome to help serve so long as they are supervised by an adult. 

Events! 

Term 2 will see a bunch of community and fundraising events, so please put these dates in your diary and plan to volunteer for at least one to support the school! Following feedback, we are trialling some alternative options for our plant and produce markets. This term we will have a high tea following the Autumn Family Day, plus a pizza and performance afternoon! We also look forward to our annual Winter Solstice event, which should see some warm drinks, fun activities, and of course, fire! 

Term 2 events: 

Democracy sausage sizzle and cake stall - Saturday 3 May - Make BNWPS your poll booth, buy a sausage, sell a sausage, bake a cake, sell a cake. Volunteer roster here. 

Autumn family day and high tea - Friday 9 May - Come to see your child’s classroom and potentially get involved in baking up a tasty high tea for afternoon tea! Stick around after school for a warm drink and something tasty. 

Pizza and performance - Friday 30 May - Buy a slice of pizza cooked in the BNWPS pizza oven and enjoy some music performed by students and others. If you are able to perform, please contact us at cet@brunswicknwps.vic.edu.au 

Winter solstice celebration - Friday 20 June - Stick around after school for warm drinks, fires and fun activities for the whole family. More details to follow. If you are interested in helping to organise this event, please let us know at cet@brunswicknwps.vic.edu.au 

Looking ahead to term 3…

Confirming that our annual grown-ups only trivia night will be held on Saturday 26 July! Put the date in your diary as it is not to be missed! We will put out themes to vote on very soon - if you have a brilliant idea for a theme, it’s not too late to let us know at cet@brunswicknwps.vic.edu.au. We are putting together a subcommittee to organise this event - please also let us know if this sounds like your kind of thing!
