Latest Updates

It’s been a busy Term 3! The Father’s Day Stall was a success. We apologise for any mix ups, but all were immediately rectified. We hope all the Dads, Grandads and special people loved their Father’s Day gifts! We enjoyed running the stall and the kids had fun choosing their gifts. A big thank you to our volunteer parents for helping run the stall on both days and to our wonderful college admin staff for all their help also.

 

 

 

We hope you’re all enjoying your Billy G’s cookie dough!  It was a big job, with 594 tubs of dough to collect, sort and distribute, but Cheryl and Aimee did an amazing job! Also thank you to Danielle who organised the setting up of this fundraiser! Go FOS team! Total amount raised for our school was $2,376!

Primary Sports Carnival Subway Lunch Orders

The Primary School sports carnival was cancelled last Friday due to weather conditions, but all the Subway orders still arrived and were distributed at lunchtime. By ordering, families helped raise approximately $275 for our school!

Primary School Disco 2024

Our Primary School Disco for 2024 will be held in the covered assembly space on Friday 18 October, so mark your calendars! There will be three sessions: 

  • Session 1 - Kindy & Pre-Primary (4pm-5pm)
  • Session 2 - Years 1-3 (5:15pm-6:15pm) 
  • Session 3 - Years 4-6 (6:30pm-7:30pm)

Due to space and for the enjoyment of the younger children, only one parent per attending child is permitted to attend sessions 1 and 2, if they need to. There will be College staff and volunteers supervising all discos. Tickets are on sale NOW via Quickcliq and cost $8 per primary school child. Ticket price includes entry for that child, a drink and sausage sizzle (provided after each session).

Feel free to bring a camp chair or picnic rug and sit on the grassed area near the CAS and mingle with other families while waiting for your child’s session to finish. 

 

When ordering your ticket please select student(s)' class from the list and then enter their name(s) and class(es) (i.e. Joe Bloggs – 1G) and any dietary requirements in the Notes section before you pay and place your order. 

 

We’re keeping things simple this year so there’s no theme, just a fun disco with great music for all our primary school kids to enjoy with their friends. So wear a favourite outfit of your choice and bring your best dance moves!
