Thank you!

Firstly, I need to thank the wonderful Trivia organisers, Kathryn and Zoe. Both have organised the Trivia for a few years now and this year was their biggest yet, both with attendees and money raised. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes for weeks leading up to the night, the full day of the event and they showed up the morning after to clean up all of the mess. Kathryn and Zoe you put on a fabulous event, the school, kids and parents are very grateful for all of your efforts.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask parents to think about these events and how much effort goes into them. Kathryn, Zoe and their husbands were the only people cleaning up the morning after. It would have been a lot quicker if more parents showed up and helped.

Another thank you is to all of the parents who turned up on the night in the most fabulous costumes!!! You always put in such a huge effort and you all looked truly incredible. Thank you also for purchasing tokens and participating in heads & tails and for all of the raffle tickets you bought. All the money raised goes towards our school to benefit our kids.

My last thank you for Trivia is to Kirsten. Kirsten sourced and uploaded all of the Online Auction items. She worked for weeks leading up to the auction going live, putting in countless hours contacting businesses and securing items. To top off all of Kirsten’s hard work the online auction beat the $10,000 target - well done to all of the winners!!!

The Auction can’t go ahead without these businesses donating. Our school, the parents and the kids truly appreciate the kindness and generosity of them all.

Thank you!!!!!

Cupcake Day on Wednesday was a huge hit! The donations came in strong and looked so fabulous! Thank you to Belinda who led the team and organised the day, I appreciated you a lot. Thank you to all the wonderful families who donated the most amazing cupcakes going around - you should all start a side hustle!!! The children loved the event and as a bonus we raised a great amount of funds for the school.

The event is a really fun night for the kids.

About the movie: Despicable Me 4

Gru and Lucy are overjoyed as they welcome their newest family member, Gru Jr. However, their happiness is short-lived when a new villain, the cunning Maxime Le Mal, emerges. With their family in danger, Gru and his team must utilize their wit and skills to outsmart the villain and protect their loved ones.
