Parents & Friends Association
From P&F President, Mrs Pip Smith
Thank you to all who attended our first meeting of 2025 last night. It was wonderful to see so many of you there in person and online. We are lucky to have such an engaged and community-minded community here at Kinross Wolaroi!
Our Annual General Meeting is coming up soon - 6pm Wednesday 9 April - so I encourage anyone who would like to play an active role in our Association to think about standing for one of the many positions available on the Committee. Details about the AGM are below and on our hub page. Feel free to contact me or any committee member if you would like to find out more - our Executive is listed below.
The Association is already working hard on events for 2025. Most exciting is our 50th Anniversary Gala... tickets will be available soon, so start chatting to friends and family about making up your table of eight. Will it be the best night in fifty years? Quite likely!
