Parents & Friends Community
Dear BPS parents & friends,
Thanks for responding to our call out for your contact details, and consent to share them via class lists. Thank you to Jan Browne who spent countless hours preparing the lists.
You should by now have received your class list from your Class Rep. Class Reps perform the vital role of sharing important and timely messages from teachers, organising class catch ups, and much more. Year Level Coordinators help the Class Reps work together as a team and for the benefit of the PFC’s community-building and fundraising activities.
We’re pleased to share the names of the Class Reps and Year Level Coordinators for 2020 and that we are still looking for a volunteer for class 6D:

The advertising fete boards are up, excitement is building and tickets are on sale for the ‘Let’s Get Happy’ Lunch of the Year – our annual Parents & Friends Lunch.
Buy your tickets now via https://www.trybooking.com/BISMH and please see the Frequently Asked Questions (following), which outlines all the nitty-gritty details about this fun-filled event.
The Best-of-Brighton raffle will be drawn at the lunch and to bolster the already great array of prizes on offer, we would like to invite all parents to look in their pantry or ‘present cupboard’ and consider contributing an item towards the prize hampers, to be raffled on the day of the Lunch.

All items are welcome, but if you’re stuck for ideas, some suggestions include:

- skincare/beauty/wellness products
- books, toys, sporting goods
- new clothing or accessories.
- tickets to events (movies/sporting events etc)
- grocery cards (Coles/Woolies, etc).
Donated items can be sent to school with your child between Monday 10 and Wednesday 13 March.
If you have a large donation to make, or would like to discuss sponsoring our major mid-year event, or have suitable products for our Mother’s or Father’s Day stalls this year, please get in touch: fob@brighton.vic.edu.au
