Good afternoon all,
We have had a very busy start to term, with our Bunnings BBQ, the Referendum Day BBQ and tonight's movie night.
I would like to Thank the BBQ team, Erika, Kathryn, Kristen and Victoria for all the working sourcing stock for these and running the BBQs all day. I would also like to Thank Selby-Lynne and the Grade 6 families for supporting these events, some of the proceeds will go towards making this year grade 6 Graduation a special time for the children.
I would like to Thank everyone who kindly donated to the Bake Sale on Saturday, we would especially like to call out Ferguson Plarre who donated an assortment of amazing baked goodies. We wish them every success with the Bay Street shop reopening this week.
Thanks to Tamzine for organising tonight's Movie night. We have been blessed with sunshine, so this will be outside on the oval. Due to being outside the movie will start a little later, gates open from 6.15pm with the movie starting around 7.15pm. There will be a limited BBQ, popcorn and lollies on sale.
Movie Night
Join us on Friday 20th October for our Family Movie Night under the stars! We will be screening the movie Bad Guys (PG) on a gigantic 6m wide screen on the school oval. Gates open from 6.15pm via Poolman Street, movie commences at 7.15pm (sharp) and finishes at 8.45pm. Tickets available on the Door.
Yearbook Planning
Pre-purchase for the 2023 Yearbook is now open. 2023 has been a busy year with a calendar full of events, this book is a great memento of it all! The Yearbook contains the whole school (Prep to Year 6) and features students work, classroom pictures, and photos from various school events. Pre-purchase is the only way to guarantee you get a copy as print run will be limited. It will be delivered to classes in the final weeks of term.

The PMPS school community is excited to be running our biggest fundraiser of the year, our school fete. The fete is a fantastic community event and couldn’t happen without the support of our sponsors and local businesses. The funds raised from this years Fete will positively impact our school by allow progress on the following projects:
Improve student toilet facilities,
