A huge shout out to the PFA for the Christmas Raffle especially to Sally Westra, Karina Gallace, Kat Bain, Angela Nixon, and Lucy Lynch! This was a huge effort and we can't thank you enough!
It’s hard to believe how quickly 2025 has passed, but when we pause and look back on everything we’ve achieved together, it becomes clear why the year has flown by.
The RNPS PFA may be a small group, but it is filled with people who bring enormous heart to our school community. With just 11 dedicated members, their work ethic, passion, and unwavering commitment shine brightly. This is a group that lifts each other up, celebrates the highs, supports one another through the lows, and gathers eight times a year—sometimes online, sometimes over a shared meal—always connected by purpose and kindness.
All it takes is attending one meeting to truly see the warmth, generosity, and genuine care that each person brings. They are the heart of so many special moments at RNPS.
To honour the PFA’s tremendous achievements, it’s only fitting that we reflect on the wonderful events they’ve thoughtfully organised throughout the year:
Colour Run
Tesselaar Tulips Fundraiser
Bakers Delight Hot Cross Bun Fundraiser
Mother’s Day Stall
Father’s Day Stall
School Disco
Bogan ⚡ Bingo
Christmas Raffle
The PFA raised over $30,000 while providing these fun activities—joy-filled moments that brought happiness to our children, their families, and the wider school community. Each event helped strengthen our connections and enrich the experience of being part of RNPS.
We also can’t thank Kate Seyer enough for volunteering for her time to be part of our meetings this year. Her willingness to connect with the school and support our activities has meant so much to us and has helped strengthen the bridge between the PFA and the broader school community.
It has been an honour to be part of this beautiful team over the 12 years I have been at the school. If you are looking to join a warm, welcoming, and purposeful community group, I wholeheartedly encourage you to get involved in 2026. It is with much love that I say farewell—for now—and I truly look forward to staying connected.
