Parents & Friends Association
Aitken College
This Sunday is all about Family Run Fun Day
The event will open at 8:30am. On arrival, please make your way to the running track behind the Gymnasium.
Warm up will be held from 9:00am and the Fun Run will start at 9:30am
We strongly suggest any serious runners make their way to the start line early so they can be among the first group to enter the course. We will be sending runners and participants out in waves. Prams are permitted on the course, but will be required to start at the rear of the group.

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 on Aitken socks.
