Happy Term 3 from the Parents & Carers Committee!
The first half of the year has been a huge success, filled with wonderful events, strengthened community connections, and fundraising well ahead of our 2025 targets. A big thank you to everyone who’s contributed so far!
Community Thanks
- Prep Courtyard Working Bee: Massive thanks to all the parents who rolled up their sleeves over the holidays to spruce up the Prep Courtyard. It’s now neat, tidy, weed-free, and ready for our youngest students to enjoy.
- Who Gives A Crap bulk order: Thanks to Ange Perkin and Nell Woods for coordinating the latest toilet paper order, and to everyone who stocked up through the school. Every roll counts!
End of Term 2 Hot Breakfast: We couldn’t have done it without Ross Bicknell, Andy Bryson, Mark Evenhuis, Katy Ingram, George Kotridis, Cody Moore, Erica Reed, Bridget Smith, Nell Woods and Najwa Yehia.
Volunteer Update
We’re so grateful to everyone who gives their time and energy to keep our events running smoothly. None of it would be possible without our incredible parent and carer community.
Please note: For child safety, all future volunteers will need to provide their Working With Children Check number. Don’t have one? It’s quick, free, and easy to apply — apply here.
