Jazz in the Park

Last night saw our annual 'Jazz in the Park' event take place at the school.

As always, the night was a relaxed and fun celebration of the start of the school year. The live music from Hoodoo Mayhem was perfect and there was delicious food and drink and fun games organised by SKiPPA (our Parents' Association) and made possible by 85 parent volunteers.

As a school we are so lucky to have such unique and wonderful traditions as Jazz in the Park that bring our community together in such fun and positive ways. We are just as lucky to have such an active and committed parent community who understand how special these traditions are and work so hard to keep organising them year after year.

We need to thank a long list of people for making this event happen;

 

  • Woolworths Metro St Kilda
  • Little Sister Bakery
  • Calm & Stormy drinks  
  • Harris Family Butcher, Bentleigh East
  • Big Tree Gin
  • Hoodoo Mayhem and our very own Julian Boult
  • Our amazing parents/carer volunteers that helped on set up, BBQ cooking & serving, the bar staff and clean up crew.  
  • Neil, Nova, Wendy, Michelle and Jac for all they do in the background with printing, cash and eftpos organization and gas bottles!
  • The staff members who found the time on such a busy week to stay and enjoy the fun!

Most of all we need to thank the wonderful crew at SKiPPA for coming together right at the start of the school year and pulling off such a big event so smoothly and capably.
