Election Day stall Saturday 24th November – helpers needed
Glen Eira College will be a polling place for the State Election on Saturday 24th November. The Parents Association stall will sell traditional election day sausages and other treats, welcome the local community to our school and raise some funds. Helpers needed for an hour or so each to set up in the morning till pack up in the early afternoon. Donations of bread, sausages, veggie burgers, onions, sauce, lemons, fresh herbs, flower posies, biscuits, slices, craft, jams etc. very much appreciated. If you can help please send an email to gecpa@gec.vic.edu.au.
Second Hand Uniform sale – helpers and donations needed
GECPA will again organise a very handy sale of second hand uniforms in late January school holidays on the same morning as book collections.
The uniform stall is a helpful service for families and a valuable fundraiser for the school. Please donate your unwanted uniform items by Friday 14th December 2018. This is a donation to the school - families will not receive any payment for their items. Please ensure that all items are in reasonable condition and have been washed and dried before you bring them in. Please note that we cannot sell items that are no longer part of the college uniform, such as polar fleece jackets or the older-style sports tops (sports tops in the current style - with red sleeves- are very welcome).

Weekly walk and talk
We have a social walking group which meets once a week to walk and chat for an hour. We meet on Tuesday evenings (weather permitting) at 7:45pm at the corner of Crosbie and Murrumbeena Roads at Duncan Mackinnon Reserve. So that we can keep in contact, we have set up a messaging group on Whatsapp. To join the group, just email us your name and phone number. (If you don't already have Whatsapp installed on your smartphone, you will need to do that first -it's very easy to install and to use).
