Parents and Friends
Dear families,
We are over halfway through the school year!
On the last day of Term 2 we were pleased to host an End of Term Disco. There were lots of happy faces and dancing. It was a great way to end the term!
We have discussed with school leadership the idea of the P&F hosting a Lunchtime Club with different activities offered. This would be a great option for the students to try out different activities. To run this, we need volunteers – see more details below.
Please contact us on parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.catholic.edu.au if you have any questions.

Review of fundraisers/events
End of Term Disco
A lot of fun was had at the End of Term Disco on Friday 4 July 2025.
Lunchtime Club
We are calling out to members of the school community to help out with the new the Lunchtime Club, it would be parents, grandparents or other members of the school community.
Lunchtime Club would run at lunchtime from 11.10am to 11.45am, helpers would need to come a little earlier to setup and then pack up at the end.
We hope to be able to offer different activities both indoor and outdoor.
Examples of activities include: colouring/drawing, lego, board games, sports clinics and craft activities. We are open to other ideas.
Volunteers will need to hold a current Working With Children’s Check and will be required to complete a volunteer induction with the school.
We hope to get this up and running in Term 3 – please contact us if you can help out.
Book Week Colouring Competition
We are excited to be having a Book Week Colouring Competition for students in the lead up to Book Week. Colouring pages will be sent home in the next few weeks. We look forward to seeing beautifully coloured pages.

If you are interested in becoming a Committee Member – please contact us to have a chat. Being a part of the Committee isn’t a large time commitment and there are no set requirements of a member.
