Year Level Social Nights

The Year 7 social event held on Friday 25th August was the final PA social night for term 3.  We had over 50 guests attend a wonderful night hosted at Burnley Brewing. A big thank you to the PA year level Representatives who organised these events on behalf of the Parents Association. Each year level event has been well attended and feedback has been positive, with the community enjoying the ability to connect with other parents and cares from their child’s year level. The PA aims to bring you more events like this.

Staff Thank you morning tea

The Staff Thank You Morning Tea was hosted on Monday 28th August by a group of Parent Association members with the generosity of our school families. A big thank you to those who contributed delicious homemade goods, cards, and other items to treat our MGC staff. The PA are extremely grateful for your support and the staff were overwhelmed by such a special morning. Thank you also to our year 7 junior ambassadors for creating our beautiful sign.

Father’s Day Breakfast

The Annual Father’s Day Breakfast is such a great morning hosted by the Parents Association in the Gillard Centre, and is always well attended by our students and their dads/guests. Thank you to all those who came along and purchased tickets in our Father’s Day raffle. It’s a lot of fun spoiling dads with prizes at this event and the students had their own little quiz to go into the draw to win a sweets pack! It was wonderful to have our Principal Tamy Stubley attend and draw out the winners for our raffle and quiz. 

Congratulations to the winners of our raffle and a big thank you to the generous MGC families who contributed prizes. We were able to raise money that will go towards the Parents’ Association Grants program and other PA initiatives. Also, a big thank you to the wonderful parent volunteers Elisa, Tammy and Yvonne who helped on the day, and MGC staff Nancy, Glen and David for assisting.

MGCPA School Raffle 2023

The PA are hoping to run the MGCPA Raffle once again with the help and generosity of our school community. We are opening an expression of interest to our school community to be included in our 2023 promotion. If you, or a business you know, would like to be included in this wonderful raffle, all proceeds raised from the ticket sales directly benefit our MGC students and the school community. The fundraising from this event allows the PA the ability to offer teaching staff and student groups the chance to apply for funding for ‘extra’ opportunities. 

From our 2022 raffle, we were able to provide $29,870 worth of grants towards MGC resources and programs.

Please contact the MGCPA directly with any questions regarding the MGCPA Raffle and if you would like to be included mgcparents@gmail.com
