RIPPER FAMILIES IN 2020
We are keen to get some Social and Fundraising events underway but we need volunteers! Please return the “Ripper Families Volunteer Form” to the school ASAP.
Any questions or ideas can be sent to ripperfamilies@gmail.com
STUDENT CAKE RAFFLE
A chance to win Lee’s lovely Valentine’s Day Cake
Tickets only 50 CENTS each from the office or via QKR! And we’ll put your name in the draw.
Winner drawn at Assembly 3PM on Friday 14th February
All funds raised will go towards Student Council projects in 2020
Snack Shack will be open for business from Wednesday the 19th February and then each Wednesday and Friday recess.
There will be some exciting changes to the Menu, which are currently being planned. Once all the finishing touches are done the menu will be published and available to all.
Please remember we cannot run Snack Shack without our awesome family volunteers - so when your Class Rep sends around the roster make sure you have your Working With Children Check ready and sign up to help out!
WELCOME PICNIC BAKE SALE
The annual welcome picnic will be hold on Tuesday the 25th of February.
This year we will also be having a bake sale table.
Over the next 2 weeks we will send out all of the information (what we can and cannot sell), so start thinking about how you could help us! We would love to have lots of individual serve items, like cupcakes, cookies or slices - so you can grab a RPS sausage, drink and a treat!
GARDEN CLUB
A BIG THANKS to Tegwen and Cynthia for their hard work in keeping our garden so beautiful over the holidays. If you are keen and available to help with the Garden Club please let Ripper Families know - before, during or after school, we can work with any time you have!
The Garden Club also looks forward to having its first Harvest Market soon. Keep your eyes peeled for the date and if you are able to help out we would love to hear from you.
UNIFORM SHOP
Thank you for all of the second hand donations we have been receiving at the Uniform Shop. Please feel free to drop off any good condition second hand uniforms to the office anytime. Remember the uniform shop is open every Friday from 9 - 9:30am for you to purchase good quality second hand items for $2.
This term we will also be running ‘Sale item of the day’ on our new stock items. As these items are limited it will be first come first served and cash only! Make sure you keep an eye on Compass each Thursday so you don’t miss out on a bargain each Friday morning!
