PFA News

Dear Parents and Friends,

We're excited to share updates from the recent meeting of the new PFA leadership team. Our focus is maintaining the momentum ignited during the inaugural 2024 PFA gathering in Term 1. To enhance parent involvement, we're adopting a more informal approach to membership this year. As volunteer opportunities arise, we'll send out 'Sign Up' links. Additionally, you can opt to join our contact list by sharing your name and email address to elthamnorthprimarypfa@gmail.com, ensuring you stay informed about upcoming volunteer roles. Our aim is to break down barriers, making it easier for more families to engage in ways that suit them best.

In other news, the Easter Raffle held last term was a tremendous success, raising $1200 for the school. We look forward to hearing how the Junior School Council and Wellbeing Leaders decide to  utilise these funds.

Looking ahead:

1. School Grounds Clean-Up: Join us for a working bee on either Saturday, May 18th, or Sunday, May 19th, as we prepare for ENPS's upcoming 100th-year celebration. Tasks will include activities like hosing down pathways or walls and adding mulch to garden beds. Keep an eye out for the forthcoming Sign Up links.
2. 100th Birthday Celebration: Help make Eltham North Primary's centenary event memorable by contributing to morning tea on Thursday, May 23rd. Whether baking or purchasing items, please provide ingredient lists and drop off your contributions on Wednesday, May 22nd, or earlier if not freshly made. We'll also need volunteers to assist with serving refreshments—watch for the Sign Up link.
3. Trivia Night: Save the date for Saturday, May 25th, and secure your babysitters! Our trivia night promises an evening of Eltham-themed fun and fantastic prize opportunities. Details on ticket sales will be shared soon.

The  PFA warmly welcomes new members. Join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, June 4th, at 7 pm on school grounds. Come enjoy a glass of wine as we explore fresh opportunities for ENPS families to connect.
