Review of events and fundraisers
Family Social Gathering - Friday, 6th October
It was great to hear of around 10 families who met up at Victoria Park Lake for a relaxed social gathering last week.
It was a shame about the wind, but a nice way to end the first week of Term 4 and burn some of the kids energy after wet weather during the week.
The Athletes Foot School Rewards Program
We have received $500.00 as part of the school’s participation in The Athletes Foot School Rewards Program.
Thanks to those who shopped at The Athletes Foot during January to March this year and helped to earn rewards for our school.
We look forward to hearing how the school leadership plans to spend these funds.
Ongoing Fundraisers
IGA Community Rewards
We have been informed by Fairley’s IGA that Community Rewards program as we know it will cease on 31st October 2023.
As of 1st November 2023, any customer that was originally donating points to a
community group will be automatically shifted back to collecting personal rewards on their rewards tag.
Thank you to those who have supported the school through the IGA Community Rewards Program in the past.
