Parents and Friends News
Dear families,
The term is flying by with only a few more weeks before holidays! We hope everyone is keeping healthy, as there has been a lot of illness around.
The Parents Social Night was a success with attendees enjoying getting to know each other, everyone was asking when the next night would be! Keep your eyes out for when tickets open for the next Parents Social Night to be held on Friday, 5th August 2022.
Make sure you stop by the Scholastic Book Fair next week - see details below. There will be lots of great titles on offer. Buying books earns the school credits to purchase books.
We have ideas for some great events next term, including the Father’s Day Stall. If you are able to assist with planning or organising details for events please make contact with us - many hands make light work!

Parent helpers
Do you have a passion for our school community and would like to contribute your ideas and help plan events - we would like to hear from you!
The P&F raise funds, hold fun events and support our school community to build an inclusive, supportive and caring environment for all students and their families.
We are looking for more assistance from our school community to help in planning events and fundraisers.
We are hoping to get representation from families across all year levels of the school.
If this sounds like something you may be interested in, please contact Bianca or Jacklyn via email or in person if you see us around school.
Business interest
Do you own/run a business, or know of a business, that may be interested in being involved in supporting the school community through fundraisers, sponsorship, in-kind support or at events?
Please contact the P&F by email to register your interest. We are very interested in working with our school community and building connections with family businesses.
