Coffee Morning at Open Streets

Big thanks to our Open Streets coffee morning volunteers! We will be holding coffee mornings during the Term 3 and Term 4 Open Streets events. All funds raised go to the school and our new playground. Stay tuned to the WhatsApp groups or Facebook group for updates.

Next PnC meeting

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 22 August, 7-8pm in the school staff room.

All parents & carers are invited to attend. If there is anything you would like to add to the agenda (feedback, event suggestions, etc) please email merribek.pnc@gmail.com.

Communication about PnC Events

The PnC promotes its events via the WhatsApp and Facebook groups, posters around the school, in the newsletter, and via Compass. Not all school events are run by the PnC and all communication for PnC events is done by parent volunteers.

WhatsApp and Facebook groups

The PnC facilitates WhatsApp groups for grade levels, and a Facebook Group for the whole school community, to help connect our community online. There is also a private Facebook Group for parents and carers of neurodiverse students.

These groups are run by parents and not affiliated or overseen by the school or its leadership.You can view the terms of these groups here: https://tinyurl.com/4699e963

If you would like to join the Facebook Group or your child’s year level WhatsApp group, please SMS Tess on 0419280282.

As always, we recognise that not all parents and carers have the capacity to volunteer or donate to our fundraising efforts. We welcome all efforts, not matter how small. If you are interested in helping our school in a way that suits you, or you have a fundraising or socialevent idea, you can email us any time at merribek.pnc@gmail.com.
