P&F News

As another school year draws to a close, I thought it would be a good time to share with you our activities this year.  It's been quite a busy year.

 

We held the following events and invested in our community in the following ways

  • We initiated integration events for the Year Seven cohort, welcoming the many new families into our community.
  • We held a whole of Primary School integration BBQ, once again to welcome new families.
  • We partnered with the school to upgrade the playground equipment in Primary School.
  • We sponsored the 2025 Country Week Team to help reduce transport costs for families.
  • We held our first off-campus event in many years, our Bogan Bingo event. 
  • We conducted the Colour Run, a day that the students always look forward to.
  • Our annual Welcome Sundowner event was a raging success with more attendees than prior years.
  • We hosted guest speaker Claire Eaton to speak to students as well as parents about building resilience in our students.
  • We supported the school with a once-off donation for the plans to build a 'High Performance Gym' on campus.
  • Provided much-needed sustenance on day one of each term with our coffee vans.
  • The many year group catch-ups that our wonderful P&F year group representatives organised.

There was also the effort put into the DIGS group

  • Held a kayaking afternoon
  • Hosted a successful sleepout on school grounds
  • Organised a lawn bowls afternoon
  • Hosted the monthly catch up for dads at the Premier Hotel
  • Ran a sausage sizzle at Bunnings to bring the dads together for a bit of fun and fundraising
