Parents and Friends Association
Pasta Fundraiser
The pasta fundraiser is back. Families will have a chance to order freshly made pasta and sauces, as well as ready made meals. The feedback last year was overwhelmingly "So delicious!!". Keep an eye on newsfeeds at the beginning of Term 3 to learn more.
Save the date - Father's Day Breakfast
Don't forget to put Friday 30 August in your diary for our annual Father's Day Breakfast. This event is not to be missed, a great opportunity to visit with your son and enjoy a most delicious breakfast. Further details to follow. If you are available to assist with this event the PFA would love to hear from you!
Theatre Parents Group
The Theatre Parents Group is another wonderful way to meet parents at Koonung. Earlier this year they ran a very successful Trivia Night, raising approximately $5000 for this year’s production of Shrek the Musical.
If you’d like to join the Koonung Theatre Parents they would love to hear from you – it takes a whole community to put on a musical, and there are many ways to get involved, ranging from sets and costumes to front of house and fundraising. Please contact koonungtheatre@gmail.com for more information.
Second Hand Uniform Shop
The second hand uniform shop is open on Fridays from 2pm to 3:15pm
Good quality second hand uniform items for sale or donation are always gratefully received and can be left at the administration office.
Volunteers are always welcome (even one hour a month helps!). Send an email to: secondhanduniforms@koonung.vic.edu.au

Become a Parent Representative for your year level!
The role of a Parent Representative needs no experience, just a willing spirit to facilitate parent connection in your student’s year level. You have the flexibility to organise coffee outings, dinners, a Sunday afternoon picnic or whatever you like doing! We generally recommend 2 representatives to support each other for your year level. The PFA will support and help facilitate any events you wish to organise. Please contact us via email pfa@koonung.vic.edu.au to find out more!
