See you at the Referendum BBQ tomorrow

Thank you to everyone who has baked, donated, or signed up to help at our Referendum BBQ tomorrow. Join us for a coffee, a snag, a cake, or some pre-loved toys & books from 8am-4pm (or until sold out) on the school grounds.

One week until Comedy Night!

Don’t miss out!

Grab your tickets and join us in our glamorous school hall:https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1120110

Last year was a huge success, and this year - with twice the intervals and twice the eftpos machines at the bar - is sure to be even better!

Bron Lewis and Claire Hooper are back, because they love Merri-bek so much. They’ll be joined by world class comedians Lawrence Leung, Takashi Wakasugi and Garry Star.

Friday 20th October

Doors 7pm, show 8pm ‘til late

Bar and dancing afterwards.

18+

Thank you…

We know how busy life can be for everyone in our school community, and we recognise it the huge effort involved to put on events like this. But it is worth it to come together and raise money for exciting projects like a new playground for our kids! Thank you for your support.

If there is anything you would like to add to the agenda (feedback, event suggestions, etc) please email merribek.pnc@gmail.com.

Communication about PnC events

The PnC promotes its events via the WhatsApp and Facebook groups, posters around the school, in the newsletter, and via Compass. Not all school events are run by the PnC and all communication for PnC events is done by parent volunteers.

WhatsApp and Facebook groups

The PnC facilitates WhatsApp groups for grade levels, and a Facebook Group for the whole school community, to help connect our community online. There is also a private Facebook Group for parents and carers of neurodiverse students.

These groups are run by parents and not affiliated or overseen by the school or its leadership. You can view the terms of these groups here: https://tinyurl.com/4699e963

If you would like to join the Facebook Group or your child’s year level WhatsApp group, please email merribek.pnc@gmail.com.

As always, we recognise that not all parents and carers have the capacity to volunteer or donate to our fundraising efforts. We welcome all efforts, not matter how small. If you are interested in helping our school in a way that suits you, or you have a fundraising or social event idea, you can email us any time at merribek.pnc@gmail.com.
