Parents' and Friends'
Thank you to everyone who joined the P&F meeting on Monday at the new timeslot of midday. It was lovely to see people in person, including some new faces, and online. When the meeting finished, it was lunchtime at school, and it was great to hear the hustle and bustle of the students and see the smiling faces.
The sub-committees established by the previous executive are working well, with planning underway for some exciting fundraising and 'friend-raising' activities for Terms 3 & 4 and next year. We will keep you posted.
Christmas Cakes
The College Christmas Cakes are our major annual fundraiser, and a long-held tradition of the School. Each year, we need helpers at different stages of the process.
We would love for you to look at the dates and save one in your calendar:
- Thursday 19 September - weigh and mix ingredients
- Saturday 12 - Wednesday 16 October - baking week **
- Thursday 17 October - pack up and distribute cakes to sell
** This year, we are baking over a weekend. We welcome all community members, working parents, boarding parents, dads, and grandparents to come along for an hour or two.
Donations:
Thank you to people who have already made donations of ingredients and money toward the cake production. If you would like to contribute, please contact the paf@hamiltoncollege.vic.edu.au
Thank you to Kate Wall for leading this major project and for already doing a lot of work behind the scenes!
