From Your P&F

Marist Card and Games Day - Raffle Coordinator

Are you one of those people who love to shop, excel at wrapping gifts, all the while promoting College spirit?

We are looking for the next Raffle Coordinator (or Coordinators - grab a friend) for Marist Card and Games Day.  Our current Coordinator is a Year 12 Mum, so now's the time to shadow her before she leaves at the end of 2025.

Time-commitment-wise, the role requires about one day per term for shopping and wrapping, and the morning of Card and Games Day (always a Wednesday) to deliver the prizes and to oversee raffle ticket sales.

If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Michelle Mead on carddaypandf@marash.qld.edu.au.

Marist Card and Games Day - Volunteers for 30 April

The P&F will be hosting our next Marist Card & Games Day on Wednesday, 30 April. To make these days a success, we need parent helpers to assist with baking or supplying items for morning tea and/or attending on the day to set up and serve our guests.

If you can assist with sweet or savoury baked goods (we have a warming oven), they can be dropped off at the Br Cyprian Pavilion from 8:00am (or sent in with your son). Disposable containers are preferred but other containers will be sent back to Student Administration if not collected on the day (please ensure your name is on all containers). Please either pre‑cut items or ensure that they can be cut into bitesize pieces.

Volunteers for the day are needed for the following sessions:

• 8:00am – 10:30am – setup and serve morning tea
• 11:30am – 1:30pm – setup and serve lunch
• 2:00pm – 2:30pm – final clean-up and pack down

Volunteers are most welcome to assist for all or part of the day.  It is a great way to meet other parents from many different year levels, as well as contributing to an enjoyable day for guests from the community.

We also conduct a raffle for which items are sought from parents or businesses (e.g. movie tickets, wine, coffee, chocolates, nice smelling things, vouchers, etc.). They can be sent into Student Administration in the week leading up to Card & Games Day. If you don't have time to shop, consider sending in a gift voucher (e.g. Coles Myer) and our Raffle Coordinator will source the prizes.

If you are able to help by baking/supplying items for morning tea, assisting on the day, or providing an item for the raffle, please contact Sue Hartfiel (0423 076 603) or Ann Rainbow (0411 482 792) at email: CardDayPandF@marash.qld.edu.au.
