P&F Update

Icy Poles for sale on Friday

Icy poles will be sold this Friday on the front lawn from 3.20pm. $1 for a Zooper Dooper, cash only and correct change if possible. We would also appreciate any volunteers to help run the stall once or twice on a Friday in Term 4. It’s an easy job, and only takes about 45mins. Contact the P&F members for more information.

Grandparents’ Day and Scholastic Book Fair

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Grandparent’s Day morning tea and Scholastic Book Fair! We couldn’t have done it without you. Books ordered at the Book Fair will be sent to school before the end of term. 

P&F AGM on Tues 26 Nov at 7.30pm

We are encouraging all parents, especially current Prep parents who may be considering joining the P&F, to come along to this meeting to hear more about the amazing line up of events planned for 2025!

Teacher Presence

Teacher Presence is not-for-profit charity founded by Holy Spirit teacher Andy McKellar. Its mission is spread the importance of empathy and gratitude through the gift of giving. They do this by helping redirect money that would otherwise be used for the optional end of year teacher gifts from families. This allows us to lead by example and show our students the impact of giving to others in need. Please view the videos linked here to learn more about Teacher Presence.
