P & F News 

What a glorious sunny weekend we just had; the P&F hopes you all enjoyed it!

Only a couple of weeks left of the school term, so only a few notices left to share with you…

Upcoming Events

Icy Pole Fridays – Every Friday in Term 1

Hot Cross Bun Drive – Delivery Monday 4th April

Icy Pole Fridays

This Friday the students will once again be given the opportunity to purchase an icy pole at lunchtime for ONLY $1 – so please remind your children to pack their dollar coin for school this week.

And a reminder that P&F members, along with parent volunteers are regularly required to assist in the organisation and distribution of icy poles to students. If you have some spare time on Fridays, we would really appreciate your help. You can add your name to the volunteer list by calling SANDRA on 0407 867 601, or alternatively you can email her at sbarone69@hotmail.com

Easter Raffle

Every year the P&F has the pleasure of organising the St. Fidelis Easter Raffle. It is such a joy to see the ecstatic faces of the ‘winning’ children who collect their easter hampers!

Raffle tickets have been distributed and cost $1 per ticket. As usual, you can sell as little or as many tickets as you like. There are also spare raffle booklets available at the front office if you need more! Please name and number each raffle ticket, then return to school before 9am this Friday, 1st April – GOOD LUCK!

We are also asking all families to kindly DONATE one Easter item to be used in the raffle hampers by Wednesday March 30. Non-perishable items would be appreciated. Some ideas may include Easter themed activity kits, stationary, mugs, candles, pyjamas, books, wine, etc… But of course, any donation would be accepted with pleasure. Donation tubs will be in each of the children’s classrooms, so please have your child take their donation into class with them to pass on to their teacher.

We thank you in advance for your support with this fundraiser and thank you to the families who have already kindly donated.
