Parents and Friends
WHAT A DELICIOUS SPREAD FROM THE PFA
In appreciation of our hard working St Andrews staff, the Parents & Friends Association of the College graciously decorated the staff room and prepared a wonderful spread of delicious food, fruit, cake and nibblies for the staff to enjoy. Thank you PFA! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed every morsel and the lovely decorations. It was so nice for staff to be blessed in such a generous way.
THANK YOU BANKING MUMS
A big thank you to all our mums that volunteer their time to collect, collate and bank student deposits each week. It's a time consuming, fiddly process that requires a great eye for detail and figures. So thank you to all those mums that do such a fantastic job.
FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Parents
We hope that you and your family have had good Term 1 and are looking forward to Term 2 after a rest through the coming holidays.
Bunnings BBQ Fundraiser Saturday 11th May
The PFA will be running a Bunnings BBQ at the Vermont South Store on Burwood Highway on May 11th. Stay tuned for further details.
Mothers' & Fathers' Day Stalls not running this year
Please note, for your information, that the Mothers' & Fathers' Day stalls will not be running this year.
School Banking
School Banking will take place on each Tuesday of the School Term.
2nd Hand Uniform Shop
The Uniform Shop is located just next to the Multi-Purpose Hall and student drop off area.
The Uniform Shop will open from 8:30am - 9:30am each Wednesday during the Term.
Please note that due to the generosity of families; we currently have a large stock of second-hand uniforms at the present time and will not be accepting further donations of uniforms until the start of Term 3.
Icy Pole Friday
Icy Pole Friday will take place every Friday lunchtime.
Volunteering
Parents are reminded that if you are volunteering at school, you'll need a current Working With Children Check. These can be done online and then submitted at a post office at no cost.
The school also requires parents who volunteer or go on excursions to read and sign a Child Safety Code of Conduct form, which is available from the school office.
Parent Participation Hours
Families can participate by being involved in a variety of activities. During the year, notices will be sent out requesting parent help at various events or activities, for example, helping at sports carnivals, covering library books, icy pole Fridays, 2nd Hand Uniform Shop, PFA events, classroom help or attending working bees.
Parents are required to record the hours they have completed in the Parent Hours Book which is kept in the College Office. You will be charged a Parent Participation fee of $250 at the commencement of each year and will be credited at the end of the term for any work done. You will be credited at a rate of $25 per hour of work completed, up to a maximum of $250 for the year. The time requirement for each family is ten hours per year.
Keep an eye out for notices in the Week at A Glance for activities and events being held each Term.
