SPOTLIGHT (by Priscilla)

Introducing Pei-Jun (pictured) - Consistent and reliable, Pei-Jun is an active member of the Parents' Association. Her gentle demeanour does not mean silence. Pei-Jun's contributions at PA meetings and the Trivia subcommittee bring value to our discussions.

Current project

Pei-Jun is part of the sub-committee formed to plan this year’s Trivia Night. Her ideas on extra fundraising on the night are followed up with research to find out if the idea is viable. Pei-Jun suggested tropical colours to be incorporated into the decorations for the night which has been incorporated in the promotional material. She has sourced donations to go towards the table decorations, another example how Pei-Jun follows through on her ideas.

How to get involved in the Trivia night

1. Buy at ticket ($40) for a fun night out. Either join a table or rally others to make a table of ten. Tickets at the office or via order form.

2. The sub-committee welcomes volunteers to assist with picking up fundraising prizes over the month of September.

3. Help to set up from 5pm on the day (Saturday 11 October) will be needed.
