Parent Choir from 2015
PFA AGM
The PFA Annual general Meeting will be held on Thursday 10th November at 7:30pm in the Meeting Room of the Innovation Centre. This meeting is relatively short as it just involves the election of Office Bearers for 2017. All current Office Bearers are standing again for re-election, however if you would like to nominate for a position please fill out the form below.
We would also like to appoint a few parents to be part of a wider General Committee of the PFA. This committee would meet up occassionally and share ideas/iniatives with the PFA executive.
Immediately following the PFA AGM we will have a regular meeting as we finalise events for the end of the year and start to focus on events for 2017. Your input is sought for this.

Parent Choir
The PFA are looking to form a parent choir (teachers also invited) for the Junior School Christmas concert on 25 November 2016 at 7pm in Rembrandts. This is open to all parents, not just Junior School parents.
We'll be singing one carol on the night and so that it is a joyful noise, we have organised 4 short practice sessions. If you would like to join us please email pfa@standrews.vic.edu.au and let Eriana and Loeky know which sessions you can attend. It will be from 7pm - 7.45pm.
As we are all leading busy lifes, we encourage attendance to at least 2 practice sessions. Practice on your own time with recorded music will greatly be appreciated.
The practices are from 7pm to 7:45pm in Rembrandts and the dates are:
1. Wednesday, 26 October 2016
2. Wednesday, 2 November 2016
3. Friday, 18 November 2016
4. Friday, 25 November 6pm (before the concert)
God bless

Tea Towel Fundraiser
There is still time to send in your order for this popular fundraiser.
Students from Prep to Year 6 have drawn a picture of themselves which has been put onto tea towels for the various Year levels. These would make a great Christmas gift and will be delivered to your child before the end of Term.
Orders are due by 28 October and extra forms are available at the school office or here:
