Father’s Day – thank you!

Many thanks for the donations to our Father's Day gift stall and raffle hampers. Fundraising will be announced next week!

Special thanks to Rebecca Ostberg and Tamie Jones who do a great job managing the stall and hampers.

Social event – Robinson Reserve, 15 September

At our last meeting we discussed holding an informal all-school event at Robinson Reserve on the last day of term 3. This is an opportunity for families across all grade levels to socialise together.

Keep an eye on the WhatsApp groups and Facebook group for more details as the end of term gets closer.

All parents & carers are invited to attend.If there is anything you would like to add to the agenda (feedback, event suggestions, etc) please email merribek.pnc@gmail.com.

Communication about PnC events

The PnC promotes its events via the WhatsApp and Facebook groups, posters around the school, in the newsletter, and via Compass. Not all school events are run by the PnC and all communication for PnC events is done by parent volunteers.

WhatsApp and Facebook groups

The PnC facilitates WhatsApp groups for grade levels, and a Facebook Group for the whole school community, to help connect our community online. There is also a private Facebook Group for parents and carers of neurodiverse students.

These groups are run by parents and not affiliated or overseen by the school or its leadership. You can view the terms of these groups here: https://tinyurl.com/4699e963

If you would like to join the Facebook Group or your child’s year level WhatsApp group, please SMS Tess on 0419280282.

As always, we recognise that not all parents and carers have the capacity to volunteer or donate to our fundraising efforts. We welcome all efforts, not matter how small. If you are interested in helping our school in a way that suits you, or you have a fundraising or social event idea, you can email us any time at merribek.pnc@gmail.com.
