MPS Trivia Night Wrap Up 

What a night! A big ol’ thank you to everyone who saddled up and joined us at Murrumbeena Ranch for the MPS 2025 Trivia Night on Saturday. It was a hootin’, hollerin’, good time – thanks y’all!

If you were lucky enough to win one of our amazing auction items, mosey on down to the school office to collect your loot – just make sure it’s paid for first via GalaBid. 

We tip our hats to the hardworking parent volunteers who helped decorate the hall, stock the fridge, set up tables and made the night run smoothly. David Funston, Annie Liddell, Kim McClure, Anna Bowring, Annie McDermott, Rach Cyc, Celeste Benetti, Andrew Urquhart, Jono Conley, Tim Lovett and Josh Evans.

Big thanks to Sam and the team at Toscana Pizza for feeding us on the night.

To Megan Mitchell & James Baker from Five Creative who designed our invitations and all event collateral. 

To Miss Newbond's brother Ryan Newbond from Woodards who returned to his old primary school to run our live auction and to all of the families and businesses who donated items for our auctions. Special thanks to our live auction sponsors -  Dr Tanya Lee & Allure Skin & South Eastern Dental, the Pellegrino Family & Vicinity Leasing, the Urquhart Family & JCDecaux, Bunnings South Oakleigh, Big Pig Canteen & Limnos Butchers, the Evans Family & The Gardenia - Trentham, and Slater & Levin. 

Thanks to all the businesses who helped stock our Saloon bar - Grainshaker, Tradie Beer, Pizzini, Dominque Portet, Steve's Liquor and Young Henry's.

To Helen, Ledam and Rosa in the office who were a huge support in the lead up to the event. 

Special thanks to the clean-up crew who swept a lot of hay and washed a lot of glasses yesterday - David Funston, Annie & Mark Liddell, Kim McClure & Rob Leigh, Rach Cyc, Annie McDermott, Bianca Baker-Smith and Judith Yani. You’re the real MVPs of the wild west! 

We'll be sure to share the final amount raised with you once we've tallied it.

Thanks to everyone who attended for dressing up, digging deep and making it a night to remember!

Until next time,
