PFA Fortnightly Update

You may have noticed the PFA update sent last week, was a new look and a new format. Apart from the new cleaner look, the new system we are sending this from is linked to our Parent Portal. Therefore all links should be much cleaner and shouldn't involve you signing in Mutiple times for more info or to make purchases.

We will aim to send this is out in alternate weeks from the School Newsletter so please look out for it and make sure you read it as it will be a one stop shop for all PFA activities, events and volunteer requests. If you have any feedback please let us know. pmpsparentsandfriends@gmail.com

Welcome Drinks

We are hoping to see many of you at the Welcome Drinks on Thursday (9th March) at The Cornerstone, on Crockford Street, Port Melbourne. This event is a great opportunity to get to know some new families, reconnect with people you haven't see for a while and find out more about what is happening this term. The PFA will meet from 6.30pm so please come along if you are interested in learning more about what we do, with the social event starting at 7.30pm.

Tickets are $10 which includes some finger food. Purchase tickets here

Easter Raffle

The Easter Raffle will take place in the last week of term. Each child will soon receive 10 raffle tickets (costing $2 each), which can be sold to friends and family. We need lots of donations; think books, craft items, soft toys, baskets - and heaps of chocolate! The more we receive, the more prizes, we usually aim for 100+ prizes! Please drop all donations and tickets to the office by Tuesday 4th April. The raffle will be drawn and prizes delivered to classrooms on Wednesday 5th April.

PFA AGM

The PFA is made up of many volunteers, broadly split into two groups; Committee and PFA Helpers. At the beginning of each year we assign roles and responsibilities for the new year, and we will officially elect the team at the AGM on Wednesday 29th March. If you are interested in getting involved register your interest now.

Icy Poles

We will be selling icy poles each Friday of Term 1 at lunchtime from the kitchen hatch, with a special classroom delivery service for the prep classrooms before lunch. Please send a gold coin in with your child on Friday mornings. Due to time, we will not be able to offer change or let your child choose a flavour.
