P&F
It’s been a busy week for the P&F.
Last Friday, we hosted the Primary School Meet & Mingle. It was wonderful to see families enjoying the sausage sizzle and a cool drink at the end of a busy week.
A big thank you to our volunteers: Chefs Graeme and Laura Hicks, Kiley Bowey, Claudia Maw and Christine Oosterhuis.
On Sunday, we held the Year Seven Meet & Mingle. The afternoon gave attendees the chance to put names to the faces of the students their children have been talking about over the last few weeks. Many thanks to our Year Seven rep, Mrs Taryn Mirdiyanto. Thanks also to Mrs Julia Bairstow for helping set up the event and to Chef Nick and his team for the delicious selection of finger foods.
We now turn our attention to the Afternoon on the Knoll, a free event. Just bring your family, a picnic blanket and some refreshments and enjoy the music of Kris Nelson on the picturesque grounds overlooking the water. There will also be lawn games, including mini golf, for families to enjoy.
After that, we have our annual Dads Group Kayak Event, an afternoon for dads and kids to enjoy on the river, followed by a sausage sizzle.
