Supporting Our Families at Galilee
Earlier this year we sent an email out to all the school families asking for support in the way of meals for the Kumaran family. So many people responded and meals have been dropped off to school or meals have been sponsored and are supplied each week. The response was so positive that we are able to continue supporting the family with meals for some weeks yet. Kamini has asked to please share the following with all of you:
The Kumaran Family warmly appreciates all the heartfelt messages, prayers and unconditional support. Vijay has finished his Radiation therapy however the road to recovery is very slow and painful. However, I’m confident we will get through this. As a mum, it’s difficult to manage all the challenges I have been faced with since April and I could not have managed all these weeks without the support from all the Galilee families. You don’t know how much a meal helps me, ready to feed my littles at home straight after work. Some of you have given me delicious meals, some mums stopped for a chat and gave me a much needed hug and others looked after my little angel at School.
We thank you for the kind gesture!
It has been wonderful to witness yet again the Galilee school community rally together when a family needs support.

Trivia Night Success
What a wonderful night we had on Saturday 5th August at the St Kilda Town Hall. The Trivia night went so smoothly and was well organised by a team of committed parents in our Social and Fundraising Committee. The Committee have been working tirelessly over the last few months; securing the Town Hall, organising auction items and prizes, setting up and maintaining the Facebook page and advertising. Well done on another great event for our Galilee Community.
We also had lots of help from parents who were attending the night or could help set up on the day. We thank those people for their hard work and for helping make the night a success. Thank you to the staff who made it to Trivia as well. We can't wait for our next event!
Woolworths Earn and Learn
Galilee is taking part in 2017’s Earn and Learn program through Woolworths. The program provides much needed resources for schools and early learning centres across Australia. The program has been set up by Woolworths as a way of delivering back to the community. Over the years Woolworths has provided millions of educational resources to Australian schools and early learning centres.
All you need to do is collect the stickers after shopping at any Woolworths. Once you have completed the sticker page, return to our collection box in the office.
The Earn and Learn Program will run from Wednesday 26th July until Tuesday 19th September 2017. Remember, anyone can collect the stickers in our school community - staff, parents, grandparents, neighbours and friends! Let’s reach out to our school community and earn as many points as we can to earn resources from Modern Teaching Aids.
