P&F News
From the P&F President
A large contingent of Year Seven families gathered on the school grounds last Sunday afternoon for our “Year Seven integration Event”. It was great to see many old and new faces. It gave everyone the chance to put names to the faces of the students that their children have been talking about for the last few weeks. It was also great to have Principal Mr Mathew Irving in attendance to meet the families. Special thanks to our Year Seven P&F representatives Charisse Rotoff and Priya Moodie. Once again a big thank you to Chef Nick and his team for the delicious selection of finger foods that the kids (and adults) ploughed through.
Our integration events continue this week with the Primary School sausage sizzle this Friday straight after the bell at the end of the day. If you haven’t already, can you please RSVP HERE. Families and students are invited to the ECC building for a free sausage in a bun and drink. Please list any dietary requirements on the form. Don’t stress if you forget to RSVP, you’re still more than welcome to attend. I look forward to seeing you there.
A reminder of our first general meeting for the year which is on Wednesday 28 February 2024, from 6.00pm to 7.00pm in the Pratten Centre Meeting Room.
All parents are welcome to join physically or online via Microsoft Teams.
Wishing you a good weekend
Mr Jason Pages | P&F President
