From Your P&F

Walkathon - Sunday 11 August

This is your moment to be part of the great story of the Walkathon…

… the P&F’s biggest single event of the year. Community, Family, Fundraising, Wellbeing - partnering with our neighbours, the Australian Defence Force and Gallipoli Barracks.

Barracks based volunteers needed by this Friday 10 July…

 …. Seated Course Guides (open to anyone), Defence parent volunteers, and QPS parent volunteers

We are grateful to everyone who has been into the Signup already - numbers are increasing week to week. Calls for volunteers located within the grounds of Marist will stay open until Friday 9 August. If you are new to Walkathon volunteering, there are plenty of opportunities to serve alongside others. The Walkathon Sub-Committee will also be there on the day for any assistance you may require.

For those jobs that are located within the Barracks, we need to have names finalised by this Friday 19 July:

1. Seated course guides - through SignUp: Open to any parent, guardian, or family member. Situated at numerous stations along the course, within the Barracks, to give directions as required to Walkathon participants. There are two people located at each station. If you have done this before it would be great to have you along for 2024. You can even request your favourite station! If you would like to volunteer alongside someone who has done it before, just highlight this in the notes when you Sign Up. 

2. Defence and QPS Parent Volunteers - contact Jon Pollard directly: Must have current DCAC/ID Card. For specific roles within the Barracks on the day of the Walkathon.
