PFA update 

Pasta fundraiser

Back by popular demand, our fresh pasta fundraiser was another fantastic success this term! A huge thank you to Vittoria for coordinating the fundraiser and to all our wonderful parents who got behind the initiative.

The funds raised will help make a real difference around our school, contributing to more outdoor furniture and further beautification of our new outdoor space. They’ll also support events celebrating our wonderful teachers and staff (such as coffees for Koonung Day, and World Teachers Day morning tea in Term 4), along with other initiatives that bring our school community together!

Father’s Day Breakfast

We had a full house again! A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers for donating your time, energy, and community spirit to make this day special for our school’s dads and father figures.– from setting up and decorating the space, to welcoming our guests at the door, serving hot drinks, generously donating delicious food, and doing a stellar job cleaning up afterwards. You all made the morning run so smoothly!

We also want to give a special shout-out to the students (Jayden (Yr8), Tom (Yr8), Keo (Yr8), Christina (Yr9), Skye (Yr9), Sofia (Yr9), Ambra (Yr10), and Wilson (Yr11) who rolled up their sleeves and helped out. You are fantastic role models for your peers!

A very special thanks to Helen & Martina for coordinating, and Gerti, Sylvia and Ida who organised the fantastic raffle prizes! 

We wish to again say thank to the amazing  Mont Albert Bakehouse in Hamilton Street, Mont Albert for supporting us with the delicious bakery items, and the following businesses for raffle prizes - Yarra Valley Smokery, Aqualink, FD Tennis Balwyn, Bunnings and Bin3 Café and Wine Bar

Uniform shop – exciting new location!

We’re delighted to share that our uniform shop has moved into a wonderful new space on the side of Building A! You’ll find the entrance behind the water tank, next to the staff car park. Come and check out our new space on Fridays from 1:15pm–2pm for students only, and from 2pm–3:15pm for all visitors.
