New Families Welcome Night

Last Friday, we hosted an evening out for new families to get to know one another. We had a great turnout with more than 40 parents attending. It looks like it will be a fun year, given many didn’t want the party to end!

Shrove Tuesday Pancakes

Fundraising Update

The PIC hosts many events throughout the year, many of which include fundraising. But what are we fundraising for?

In 2022, the school completed a rejuvenation of the outdoor space, with new playgrounds put in. The PIC has committed to an annual contribution of $10,000 towards the playgrounds’ loan. Every year, we aim to fundraise enough to cover that commitment, as well as host events to enrich the school community and fulfil teachers’ and students’ wish lists.

The first item from the wish lists is a set of drying racks for all the artistic masterpieces the children create. As the SRCs start their meetings, we will also aim to fulfil some of the students’ wishes.

Thank you for your support of the PIC!
