Save the Date - P&F Committee AGM Tue 28th Nov at 7.30pm
Our P&F Committee Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday 28th Nov at 7.30pm in the P&F room (across from the church). All parents and friends of Holy Spirit school (including incoming Prep parents) are warmly invited to come along and hear about our achievements in 2023 and plans for next year.
Thinking about joining P&F? Here are 5 reasons why you should!
- Your kids LOVE it when they see you helping out at school – and it shows them the importance of ‘giving back’.
- You get to know other parents and make some really wonderful friendships.
- It’s fun – don’t underestimate the hilarity of making 400 cheese toasties!
- It’s a great way to gain a deeper understanding of what makes this community so special.
- Everyone gives what they can and helps when they can. There is no pressure to help EVERY time or ALL the time. We all have jobs and family commitments too; we understand the juggle!
The following positions have given notice that they will not be continuing in their current roles in 2024:
- President
- Fundraising Coordinator
- Social Media Coordinator
- Fete Liaison Officer
We are also looking to nominate an Assistant Treasurer and General Members are always welcome. Role descriptions are available from the P&F Secretary by emailing pandf@hsringwoodnth.catholic.edu.au
Second-hand uniform shop – Tuesday 14 Nov 11.40am-12.10pm
ATTENTION: NEW PREPS for 2024! We will be holding an extra Second-hand Uniform Shop session on Tuesday 14th November at 11.40am-12.10pm, during the final orientation session. The Uniform Shop is held in the P&F room across from the Church/hall. Most items are only $2. We also have pre-loved school bags and new hats for sale.
Wednesday 15th November – BBQ Food Day
Our Term 4 food day is a FREE sausage sizzle for students! P&F are sponsoring this event so there is no need to pre-book or pay for lunch. Gluten free options will be available; please make sure your child’s dietary information is up-to-date in Operoo. Students will be provided with a sausage in bread. Please remember to pack a drink bottle and extra food for lunch if your child will need more than a sausage to fill them up!
We need 8 volunteers to help us cook and serve sausages from 11am-2pm on the day. Please sign up here if you can help: https://signup.com/go/StHXROp
