Kalinda Parents and Friends

Dear Families and staff, Boy do we have some fun times ahead! 

The next 2 weeks are going to be busy at Kalinda with 2 events: The election day BBQ and Cake Stall, and the Mother’s and Carer’s Day stall. 

Please see below for more details about these events.

1.    Election day BBQ and Cake Stall. Kalinda Primary School will be a voting center on election day, Saturday May 3rd, and will have a BBQ sausage sizzle and cake stall as a fundraising event for the school. We welcome families to contribute their favourite home-baked treats for the cake stall.  Plates and large zip-bags will be sent home with the eldest child in each family today to put your baked items into for the cake stall. Extra plates are available at the office.  Please place your baked items onto the plate, and seal it in the zip-lock bag. Please DO NOT include any nut products, raw egg, custard, or cream that requires refrigeration, as we cannot accept them.

Please fill out both ingredient lists provided with your plate, and attach them to the sealed bag of your baked goods on the collection day. Baked items will be collected at the stadium on Friday May 2nd from 9am to 10am, and 2.45pm-4pm for any last minute cake donations.Responsible students are able to drop off baked items at the stadium at 9am Friday May 2nd for parents unable to make the collection time. Please ensure you complete the ‘student drop-off details’ section on the information page (sent home with the plate and zip-lock bag) to have your child drop-off your baked item.   Any parents or family members wishing to assist us in collecting the baked items on Friday May 2nd can sign-up using this link www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094BA8A82EA1F9C16-55987919-kalinda 

2.    Mother’s and Carer’s Day Stall 

The Mother’s and Carers Day stall will be on Wednesday May 7th  in the Multi-Purpose Room. This is a cash-less event, with tokens for purchase on QKR if you wish your child to participate. There are options for $5, $10, $15 and ‘other amounts’ through QKR. Gifts range from $1 , up to $10 for a gift pack. A named shopping bag or plastic bag is an ideal way for carrying and hiding purchased gifts. 

If you are able to ‘pay-it-forward’,  for other students experiencing hardship to participate, there is an option to do this in QKR.

For families that forget to pre-pay on Qkr, their child is still able to shop at the stall using Layby (maximum $20). A note will be sent home with these students after they have chosen their items at the stall. 

Grade 5/6 students attending Somer’s Camp will still be able to shop at the stall using an order form and pay for their chosen items on Qkr. These forms will be sent to the relevant students before the camp. For any parents, families or guardians who would like to help at this event on Wednesday May 7th, please contact kalindapandf@gmail.com, and ensure you have a current Working-With-Children-Check. All volunteers will need to sign in at the office on arrival before going to the MPR to help at the stall. 

Helpers are needed from 9am to 2pm, and can stay the whole time or less.   A sincere thank you to everyone for your support with these events. Kalinda Parents and Friends
