Parents & Friends 

🎉 Another big week for the P&F community. 

🧑🏽‍🎓 The Class of 2022 are graduating THIS WEDNESDAY! Grade 5 parents are reminded to drop off a dessert for the Grade 6’s to share after the ceremony on Wednesday. If you’re dropping something off in a tub/container please remember to label it so it can be returned. Desserts can be dropped off all day on Wednesday to the office. 

🌭Thanks as always to George Ma for his fabulous BBQ skills at Tuesday night’s Christmas Concert BBQ. We had a great group of helpers including Matt Dunn, Emily & Ben Harnett, Tegan Ma, Amy, Rob, Tom & Elsbeth Moore, Leigh McDonald, & also thanks to previous students Xavier & Bella for all their enthusiastic efforts. 

Huge thanks to Ally for her multiple trips to purchase more sausages, and to all the staff for jumping behind the counter so parents could still enjoy the show. It was a huge team effort. 

🥭The mangoes FINALLY arrived. Thank you very much to everyone for their patience as we dealt with freight issues from the courier on Thursday & Friday. We sold over 210 boxes of mangoes and all were collected Friday afternoon. 

🎄 The Bill Waters Rovers have agreed to support the school community again with their Christmas Tree sales. You can use the following link: https://scouttrees.au/ to order your tree, and enter the code MTPLEASNTKINDER  on the checkout page to receive $5 off your tree, and another $5 from the sale will be donated to the school & kindergarten. 

❤️After 3 years of co-ordinating the P&F community, Emily Harnett & I are hanging up our BBQ aprons and cake rosters. We’ve navigated Remote Learning, Lockdowns, Social Distancing and the ‘new COVID normal’ and while we’ve had a blast doing it, it’s time to let fresh ideas and energy in to support the school community in the future. 

I couldn’t have done it without you Em 💕
