ST AIDAN'S P & F

The St Aidan’s Parents and Friends Committee would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the unwavering dedication and support from all of our volunteers and donors this year. Your commitment to making a difference in our school community has not gone unnoticed, and we want to express our sincere appreciation for the time, energy, and passion you have generously given whether it be running the uniform shop, organising the Easter egg raffle or Mother’s Day stalls, creating lolly bags, buying icy poles, decorating or running a stall or BBQ at a school disco, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day event, organising/donating prizes for raffles, participating in our events and the list goes on!

 

Your involvement in various activities, events, and initiatives has truly enriched the experiences of our students and strengthened the bonds within our school community. It is through your selfless contributions that we continue to create a nurturing and vibrant environment for everyone and wonderful memories for our children.

 

A shout it out to the St Aidan’s staff - we couldn’t have had these events without you - thank you for helping to make this school such a special place!

 

So thank you, thank you, thank you and a Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful families. We look forward to continuing our journey together and having another amazing, fun year in 2024!

 

From the St Aidan’s P&F Committee
