Catering

After our successful catering gig in November, we were invited back again for another catering performance at the Town Hall. This time it was an Opera performance of Martha held at the Town Hall on Saturday. There were approximately 90 people in attendance, mainly from Melbourne. Our catering was very well received. Big thanks to Illona, Linda, Elissa, Julie, Tania, Bev, Raelene and Suzi for their baking efforts.

 

A further catering event will occur on Saturday, 4th March, when we cook up a storm for a local Landcare get-together.

Trivia Night

Once we settle on a date for this event, we can commence promotion within the community. The recommended venue is the golf club, as this will allow us to set up prior and provide maximum comfort for guests.

For those tippers continuing on, thank you – we really appreciate your support.  Please feel free to share the details attached with your family and friends – the more the merrier. We’re keen to grow the competition, as the more tippers we have, the greater the fundraising and prize money available. 

 

If you’d like to opt out this time around, we thank you for your past support.

 

We look forward to sharing with you what the proceeds of this fundraising effort will contribute to in the near future. Last year’s tipping competition contributed to our students' participation in Energy Breakthrough, along with providing valuable resources for the students. Thank you again for your support of our children’s education. 

 

Easter Egg Raffle 

 

Wanted: St Mary's is asking for donations to bulk up the prize pool for our Easter Egg Raffle. Please drop off your donated eggs, bunnies or treats to the front office by Monday 25th March. 

It's back! The famous St Mary's Easter Egg Raffle has returned, and we're excited. 

 

By purchasing tickets in this raffle, you are helping to support funds to improve our school's existing irrigation system and fruit fly nets. At St Mary's, we pride ourselves on maintaining a beautiful garden and orchard area at the entrance of our school. With recent drainage works carried out, an update to the watering system is necessary.  This year, our fruit was impacted by fruit flies; using nets, we can preserve the fruit and share this within our community. $20 raffle ticket books will be coming home with your child today, if you require more books please notify the school. The raffle will be drawn last day of term, Thursday 28th March.

 

Thank you for your purchase, and good luck!
