Eggstraordinary Easter Raffle

A fun morning was enjoyed on the last day of Term 1, with many students sporting

Easter inspired accessories, and big smiles, as the paperless raffle was drawn!

An enormous thank you again to generous local businesses Lizzy’s Chocolates and

Print on Wood, as well as to Mark Fisher, Candice Hall, Lucy Gow and all the other

PFA volunteers, staff and Grade 6 school leaders who helped to make the raffle

such a success.

The lucky winner of the 5kg first prize was Nikki from Grade 1!  Nikki and her family were not only very lucky, but very generous - donating the giant egg to the CPS staff, who in turn generously donated it to Ewan and the Langson family, who enjoyed sharing it with Ewan’s doctors and others in the hospital.

Mothers’ Day and gifts of appreciation stall

Mothers’ Day will be celebrated across Australia on Sunday 12th May.  At Carnegie PS, Mothers’ Day is a time to celebrate all the important women in our lives - Mums, Grandmas, Aunties, friends, teachers and more!

As in previous years, the PFA has organised a range of beautiful gifts, and children will have the opportunity to select and purchase one of these for someone special to them (during school time), on Tuesday 7th May.  Gifts will be priced between $2 and $6.  If your child would like to take part in the gift stall, please send a small amount of money to school with them on this day (coins and small notes much appreciated if possible, as change is limited).

We are looking for more parents to help out on the morning of the stall, as well as with wrapping the gifts - on Tuesday, 30th April, from 9 - 11am.  Please add your name to https://signup.com/go/rfQFDNp if you can assist.

Apple and Pear Fundraiser

With the end of Term 1 bringing plenty of indulgences with our Hot Cross Bun drive, and Easter Raffle, the PFA is working towards something a little lighter, healthier and more wholesome – a fruit fundraiser!

Keep your eyes ‘peeled’ for more details on Compass in the coming week or so - fruit delivery will be in mid May (date TBC).
