Our calendar of events is full and we are all looking forward to a fabulous fundraising year ahead.

Events for the remainder of this term and next term are as follows:

Event	Date	How can you help?
Easter Raffle	NOW NOW April 4 - AM	Donations of anything Easter themed can be dropped to the office - eggs, chocolates, craft, books etc. House points will be allocated to all students who bring donations. Raffle tickets were sent home with your child last week, if you sell out more are available from the office. Raffle will be drawn at the Easter Bonnet Parade and End of Term Assembly REMINDER: don’t forget to make a start on those Easter Bonnet’s if you haven’t already!!
Colour Run (Fundraiser)	May 1	This is our key fundraising event for Term 2. Information packs will be sent home next week. You’ll be able to create your child’s profile and start fundraising either by sharing your online profile with your family and friends, or collecting cash donations. You’ll start to be allocated prizes as soon as you hit $10 in sponsorship! Funds raised from this major event will be allocated to the Sandpit upgrade.
Mother’s Day Stall	May 8	The students love this event! They get to go shopping and select gifts all on their own (well maybe a little assistance from teachers and the PFA if required!). Gifts start from just $1 with nothing over $5. Keep your eye on our OPS Parents facebook page for some teasers closer to the date - you may want to drop some hints on what you’d like!!
Food Day	TBA	We all know how much the students love a food day! We shall keep you updated as soon a supplier and date have been locked in.

And just like that, we have almost completed Term1 of the new year!
