A Message from Parents & Friends 

Hi everyone, 

 

Fundraising Goal for 2024: big screen and speakers under Gumbuya

Term 3 seems to be passing by soooo quickly - it must be all the events we have had and are planning for the remainder of the year. 

 

Here’s a quick update for you. 

 

August Fundraising

You should have received a note home by now about all the opportunities to help further support our fundraising for this year. 

 

We currently have open a cookie dough fundraiser through Billy G’s which has seen some big orders coming through, so thank you for your support. There is still another week left to get all your dough orders in. Tubs are $20 and make around 40 cookies. Perfect for some nude food. 

 

We’re also selling personalised AGPS inspired hair ribbons. These are $13 each and come with your child’s name on them. 

 

And lastly, who doesn’t love KEFAR, a bag tag for your child’s school bag at $6. 

We hope you enjoy all these little items when you receive them.

 

Trivia Night

Our Christmas (not) in July trivia night was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who turned out in their best Christmas outfits and pjs! It was a wonderful night of quizzing, kicking, throwing, hitting and winning (or losing) and most importantly, laughing! 

 

A huge thank you to Meagan and Anna for pulling an awesome night together and for all the elves who helped decorate the gym (and clean up). 

 

Next year will be bigger and better! 

 

Father’s/ Special Person’s Day Event - Friday 30th August

A Compass post has been sent out about this, but here are the main details: 

 

You may arrive from 1.15pm and meet your child under Gumbuya from 1.30. We will be selling sausages (with delish onions) for $3. We won’t be selling drinks but there are water fountains available. You can pay for Friday treats at the same time. 

 

We will open up our obstacle course from 1.45pm (don’t panic you don’t need to be an Olympian to participate). The aim of the obstacle course is that you get a stamp for each one completed. Once you have spelt out the mystery word from all 6 events, you will win a prize for your child. Classrooms will be open from 2.15pm. 

 

We still need a few volunteers to help run Friday, so if you’re free, you can sign up here.

Subway Special Lunch - Thursday 12th September 

We will be selling sushi for this special lunch. There are 4 options plus drink options. A note will be sent home to help place your orders. 

 

Parents & Friends Meeting

Our next meeting will be held on Friday 6th September 2024 at 9am.

We are seeking sponsors for our school fete next year.
