A Message from Parents & Friends
Hi everyone,
Fundraising Goal for 2024: big screen and speakers under Gumbuya
Just when you think it couldn’t get any colder, boom, another cold snap! As we sit here writing this, our fingers are about to freeze off!
However, that hasn’t stopped Parents & Friends from making some excellent progress with all things events and fundraising!
Term 2 Fundraising
We just wanted to say a massive thank you to our community for the wonderful support during Term 2 with all of our fundraising. We are delighted to tell you that we raised a total of $8100.05. Thank you to our wonderful community for your support and to our volunteers who made this happen.
School Disco
It seems as a whole school we have some little movers amongst us (parents included)! We hope that your children enjoyed the disco as much as we did! We think that they loved having the photo booth to capture memories with their friends and peers.
Big thank you to Leanne and her team of volunteers for organising, setting up and running the event and a big shout out to Kate, who came to the rescue with lights and a lot of black tape! We’re delighted to tell you that we raised a total of $1933.00.
Term 3
Trivia Night - Friday 9th August
It’s not too late to grab yourself, your family and friends and come along to our adult only Trivia Night. Guaranteed that you will have some fun and know some answers - it’s about participation, not winning!!!!
If you’re a little shy or sitting on the fence, this is a perfect opportunity to be put on a table with new people and connect across the school.
Tickets are $30 per person, with all profits going towards our new screen and sound system. Tickets are limited, but are available to buy via CompassTix (please see Compass post).
August Fundraising - external suppliers
We understand that not all parents and guardians can get involved in our events so we have created some fundraisers with external providers for the month of August. Further details on this will be coming out w/c 12th August so make sure you check Compass.
Father’s/ Special Person’s Day Stall - Tuesday 27th August
Our Father’s/ Special Person’s day gift ordering and making is in full swing. Items will be on sale for $5 each.
If you wish to help out on the stall, please sign up here:
Father’s/ Special Person’s Day Event - Friday 30th August
Please make sure you save the date for this event for all you special people out there. Further details will follow on Compass shortly.
For anyone wishing to volunteer to help on the day, please sign up here:
Subway Special Lunch - Thursday 12th September
Please make a note of our next “we don’t have to make lunchbox”day - further details will come home late August.
Term 4
Grandparents/ Special Person’s Day
For those that are following the dates of events on Compass, please note that we are going to be changing the date of our Grandparents/ Special Person’s day. We originally had this scheduled for Friday 25th October, but we are having to move this day to Friday 1st November. Please make sure you let these special people know about the change of date.

Fete 2025
We are seeking sponsors for our school fete next year. If you run a business or work for an organisation that you think might consider sponsoring our fete, please email the fete committee on fete.agps3028@gmail.com or alternatively pop in and see David to discuss. Plenty of opportunity for large and small organisations to get involved.
Have a great weekend and keep warm everyone!
