Thank you to Kristen for running the Bunnings BBQ, you killed it BBQ King!! The day was a great success with parents helping out and lots of sausages sold! Thank you to everyone who was there and everyone who came down to support us.

That’s a wrap for 2024!

This is our final newsletter of the year. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my updates each fortnight. What an incredible year it has been! A special thanks to our amazing 2024 PFA— I couldn’t have accomplished all that I did this year without their incredible contributions and support. The School Council also expressed their gratitude to the PFA this week.

 

In my first year as President, I’ve focused on creating a welcoming space where everyone feels included and valued. I hope this has been evident to the wider school community and that more of you will sign up for the PFA or participate in events in 2025. I’d love to see fresh ideas and new perspectives for the year ahead. The PFA celebrated their hard work on Tuesday night, and it was wonderful to reflect on everything we’ve accomplished together.

 

We’ve achieved so much in 2024! This year’s fundraising efforts with the PFA raised an astounding $60K from the Fete and an overall total of $130K to support our school and, ultimately, our kids. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and generosity of our PFA and everyone in our school community. When we come together, we’re truly unstoppable. I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together in the future. 

 

Thank you all for making this year so memorable. 

 

Have a fabulous break and a very Merry Christmas!
