Recent Activities
Last Friday, on a rare lovely, warm afternoon, the PFA sold ice creams and zooper doopers on the school oval at the Welcome to School picnic. Frozen treats were in high demand, and $172 was raised for the school! Thanks to Anna and Mikkel for organising, Krista for supply chain work, and Jennie and Sarah who came down and helped sell icy treats!
