PFA update

The PFA is made up of volunteers giving thousands of hours throughout the year. Official members are the decision makers and planners. We held our AGM on Tuesday 18th March and it was a lovely meeting. We have 2 new members this year and a new face for the elected roles. Tom came to the meeting to oversee the formalities. The meeting was held at the same time as the School Council meeting so a number of SC members popped their heads in to make sure the PFA members know how important they are. 

 

Elected roles

  • President - Kate Esam
  • Vice President - Kate Ross
  • Treasurer - Mia Kronborg
  • Secretary - Hayley Drinan

I will introduce the whole PFA committee properly in a couple of weeks. Thank you to the parents from our school community who have put their hand up to join the PFA to support us, the school and our kids. I appreciate you.

Easter Raffle

When: Raffle tickets on sale now. Drawn on 4 April 

 

We are now asking for donations for our Easter Raffle – anything and everything Easter is welcome, please drop donations to the office!

Hot Cross Bun Day

When: Tuesday 1 April

Hot Cross Bun Day is a delicious fundraising event in term 1. You can order Hot Cross Buns for your child/ren for lunch and they will be delivered to their classroom.

Mother's Day Lunch

When: Friday 9 May, 12pm - 8pm

Where: The Pier

 

Mother’s Day Lunch is fast approaching! It's the most anticipated event amongst mums and guardians!

 

Tickets: $130 per person

Each ticket to this cocktail event includes canapes and a 3-hour drink package from 12-3pm plus entertainment into the evening!

 

Tickets go on sale on 28 March. 

In previous years we have recommended you put money in your wallet on the Parent Hub, this helps with the overload of transactions, which in the past have crashed the site! That's how popular the event is!

 

To add money into your wallet via the Parent Hub:

  1. Log into the Parent Hub
  2. From your profile menu, click My Wallet
  3. Click Wallet Top up
  4. Enter amount, click add
  5. Checkout and place order.

Get in quick so you don’t miss out!
