Parents' voice
We hope that everyone is enjoying the School’s Arts Festival today. Thank you to Mat Thompson for all your work to arrange food trucks to come to the School. As the term draws to a close, we look to Term 4 and all the events that the Parent’s Committee has planned to close out the year on a high.
TERM 4 EVENTS AND PLANS
The Voice to Parliament Referendum, Saturday, 14 October: The School has been selected as a polling station for the historic “Voice to Parliament” Referendum. The PC will use this opportunity to hold a fundraising BBQ and cake stall. We are looking for a second “Cake Boss” to join the team and another BBQ coordinator to assist us.

End of Year Party, 1 December 2023 3.30 – 6.30: Please hold the date for the End of Year Party on Friday, 1 December.
Silent Auction, 1 December 2023: We will run our popular silent auction again cumulating at the End of Year Party– last year the auction and bike raffle raised $9000 and this year we have even bigger plans. We need some extra volunteers to join the existing team: At least 2 people to assist us with finding donations early in term 4 and someone to assist with uploading the donations into our Galabid software (can be done remotely).
Auction Donations: If you have something that you could donate for the auction please get in touch. For example: Food, sweets, drinks, art works, gym class passes, professional or artistic services, use of a holiday house, meal at a cafe or restaurant, lawnmowing/gardening services, babysitting, etc… caulfieldjuniorpc@gmail.com
