Parents and Friends Association (PFA)

The PFA are excited to share with you our upcoming events in May to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Firstly, we will hold our annual Mother’s Day Stall on Wednesday, 6th May. More details to follow early next term, but to kick things off, we would love your help with selling items on the day. There are 3 available shifts: 9am - 11.30am, 12pm - 1:40pm or 2:30pm-4pm. Please email Ebby to ebby@cinet.com.au if you can help.

The Mother's Day breakfast will be held on Thursday, 7th May at 7:30am in the school hall. Please make sure you place your breakfast orders for the morning via MySchoolConnect prior to 9am on Monday 4th May – the menu is now live! 

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing all the mums and special friends on Thursday morning.

The PFA is so excited to share with you all the things we have been brewing up for a fantastic 2026. Here’s a sneak peek:

More about us…

The “PFA” is the Parents and Friends Association made up of a group of volunteer parents and carers of children who attend Ivanhoe Primary School, together with a few staff members. Our purpose is to organise social events throughout the year which provide us with an opportunity to build connectedness and a sense of belonging in the IPS community. Any fundraising which results from these events is an added bonus and is applied to implement various building, playground and equipment improvements throughout the school. 

We will share specific fundraising goals and purposes as each event approaches.

Would you like to be involved?

It’s not too late! Please email Sue Kelly sue.kelly@education.vic.gov.au if you are interested in joining the PFA on its journey to making 2026 a fun-filled year!
