Parents & Friends Association
Easter Raffle Ticket Sales
Term 1 is one of the most exciting terms of the school year! All students will be invited to design and create a hat, and then participate in the Easter Hat Parade on the last day of term (28th April 2024). As part of the tradition, families will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets, the proceeds of which will go towards a fun new play space near the school community building. There will be plenty of fantastic prizes to win!
