PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Dear Holy Spirit Community School,
I hope you all had a fantastic school holiday break. I hope you enjoyed spending quality time with your children. I hope they are feeling relaxed and refreshed for another big term! This term we have 2 food days, our annual Father’s Day Stall, Scholastic Book Fair, 2nd Hand Uniform Shop, Dads Night, Lob-a-Choc Free Dress Day and the 50th Birthday Party to look forward to.
We would love everyone to save the date for our up and coming 50th Birthday Celebration. We would love to see as many families as we can to help celebrate this amazing milestone birthday. Please save the date. Saturday 8th of August. We welcome you to come to The Coach (only a 7-minute drive from the school!) and join us in a fun night of celebrations. Grab your friends, dust off your dancing shoes and help us celebrate 50 amazing years of community, friendship and social spirit. We will have a DJ, food platters and birthday cake. The P & F and school can’t wait to celebrate with you all! Details and tickets sales links are listed below. It should be a fantastic and fun night for all!
At the end of 2026 our Treasurer Andrew and Vice President Lincoln are stepping down. This means that come 2027 we will need a new Treasurer and Vice President to join our team. These two roles are highly important and valued in the successful running of the P and F Association and help make up the Executive Committee. We need these two positions filled by the end of the year so, in the next few weeks, I’ll provide more information about what is involved in taking on these two positions. Watch this space!!
Come and speak to Georgette if you are interested in these very important roles!!
We are also on the lookout for General Members to join us. You can even come to one of our monthly meetings and see all the work we do behind the scenes, and how we run the P and F Association. We always welcome new faces and new ideas. If you have a passion and interest to help our school community and be involved in the fundraising/social side of the school, I would love to hear from you!
Here’s to a fantastic Term 3!
Kindest Regards,
Georgette Di Manno
