Trivia Night – We Need YOU!

As our planning for the 2025 Trivia Night begins to take shape, we are looking for volunteers to assist our team with co-ordinating the event. If this sounds like just the kind of thing you could have fun with, please email us at FWPSParentsAssociation@outlook.com by Friday, May 23rd. Following on from the success of last year's event, this year's Trivia Night is set to take place during Term 3. Stay tuned in the next few weeks for some exciting announcements. 

Second Hand Uniform Container Mural

Last week we had the Hey! Nice Mural team on site to paint the shipping container. They spent the better part of 5 days perfecting the native flower design, as chosen by the student leadership groups. We hope you like it as much as we do and for those who forget what were started with, here is a before picture. For the after view, please visit the container in person!

Bake Sale - Coming Soon - Friday, 27 June 2025

The second last Friday of this term we will be holding a bake sale. We are asking for home made donations from families in Grades 3-6. So, if you are a baker, please save the date and there will be a Compass post in the coming weeks with a call out for donation suggestions, labelling we require you to provide and drop off points. All baked goods will be required to be dropped off ahead of the stall, which will run at the end of the school day on Friday, 27 June.

We have our third committee meeting of 2025 on Monday, 19th May at 9:00am to 10:00am in the Staff Room. Members and new faces alike are welcome to join - you don't need to be a member to attend.
