Parents & Friends 

Lots happening in the last week of Term!

Cake Raffle

A huge thanks to the Teoh family for this week's delicious cake raffle prizes!  This week we raised $27.40.

The cake raffle is held every Monday at assembly, with prizes donated by families from across the school.  Tickets are 20c each or 6 for $1 and are available for students to purchase at recess each Monday.  If you are able to help us out by baking or contributing a prize for the raffle one week in Term 2, the sign-up sheet is now on the P&F board at reception.

Hot Cross Buns

Our annual Hot Cross Bun fundraiser closed last Monday.  Thanks to everyone who put an order in!  We raised $266 this year.  Hot Cross Buns will be delivered next Tuesday 26th March.  We will confirm via email what time when we have a delivery time. 

Easter Raffle

We are still collecting donations of Easter chocolates (boxed or bags), empty baskets, and other Easter goodies such as books, crafts, toys and candles for our annual Easter Raffle. If you have anything taking up space from last Easter, or you see a good special at the supermarket, please consider putting some items aside to donate to the school. All contributions are much appreciated!

Also remember to return your raffle tickets and money to school anytime between now and Family Breakfast on March 28.  Simply pop your raffle tickets (with a name and phone number written on the back) and your money in a sealed envelope and have your child pass this to their teacher on arrival at school.  If you need more raffle tickets, please see Jane at reception.

Family Breakfast

Family Breakfast is also coming up next week.  RSVPs were due last Friday (March 22), but if you haven't got yours in, please hand it in ASAP for us to be able to cater appropriately.  We are still in need of a number of volunteers to help with set up and manning food stations on the day.  If you can help, please sign up at https://volunteersignup.org/XJPQA

P&F Board

Have you checked out the P&F board at reception this week?  Our long-term fundraising tracker is now up to date (with a revamp of our oval the long-term goal!) and loads of information on current and upcoming P&F events.  Next week you should also start to see information on a range of community groups you can get involved with!  Have an idea for a community group you want to talk through or get started?  Let me know and we'll see what we can do!

Class Chats and Parent Reps

All class WhatsApp group chats have now been set up, and class reps found for all classes.  Thanks to all who have volunteered for this role this year!  If you haven't received the details on your class chat, please let me know at mprps.pf@gmail.com.

P&F Meetings

Our next meeting will be in Term 2.  Dates and times to follow!

Event Coordinators

I'm still looking for event coordinators for the following Term 2 event:

- Cookie Dough fundraiser (April and May) - coordination includes checking the delivery when it arrives and helping organise and hand out orders

Given the number of fundraising events coming up throughout the year, having event coordinators for each one helps make my job a lot less stressful.  Event coordination differs depending on the event, but generally involves helping with the planning of the event, calling for volunteers or donations, and helping run the event (all with help of course). If you have capacity to help me out with any of the events coming up, please let me know.
