PFA
I would like to open the invitation to all parents/guardians to attend a meeting or even help out with events during the year to see what the PFA is all about. You don’t have to commit to every event just when you can help out.
If you want to help with PFA events you would need to have given a copy of your Working with Children’s Card to the office.
If you have questions or would like to join out the PFA please email p.f.a@oatlandsps.vic.edu.au
Mango Fundraiser
The PFA are having the Mango Fundraiser for this year.
If you love mangoes, here’s your chance to indulge in fresh juicy Bowen Special Mangoes which are more formally known as Kensington Pride Mangoes and support our fundraising drive.
We are selling trays of mangoes picked and packed during the premium harvest.
Orders must be placed and paid by Friday 25th of October at 4pm.
Mangoes must be pre-ordered and cannot be purchased on delivery day.
Mangoes are packed in a single layer tray, with approximately 7kg of Mangoes per tray.
The number of Mangoes per tray depends on the size of the fruit. Mangoes will be delivered to the school in late November/Early December.
Cost per Tray is: $35
Place your order by: Friday 25th of October at 4pm via compass tix. Please click on the link below.
No orders through the office will be accepted.
Book club
Issue 7 has been distributed and is due to be submitted online by Thursday 24th of October.
The best gift any parent can give a child is the love of books and the joy and benefits of independent reading for fun. Children who read at home or are read to have a head start on reading success in school.
Every class is participating in Scholastic Book Club this year. Up to twice a term during the school year, we will send home a catalogue with different selection of books offered for all ages.
You’ll find award-winning books and bestsellers, as well as old and new favourites. We recommend Book Club as the books span a wide range of children’s reading levels and interests and because they are inexpensive (some books cost as little as $2).
It is easy to order. The Book Club LOOP platform for parents, allows payment by credit card. Your child’s order is submitted directly to school safe and sound and the books will be delivered to class. You can place your child’s order at scholastic.com.au/LOOP or using the LOOP app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play or send your order to the school office.
A benefit of Scholastic Book Club is that our school earns 15% in Scholastic Rewards on all Book Club orders which helps the school to obtain free books and additional learning resources. However there is never any obligation to order.
There is no better way to encourage reading than to allow children to choose the books they want to read.
