Senior Campus Staff Room. All are welcome. We will wrap up Term 3 and plan Term 4.
JUNIOR CAMPUS CRAZY CAMEL FUNDRAISER
A huge thank you to Shaheen Khan for her hours of sorting for this great fundraiser. Artwork has been sent and we expect delivery of order early Term 4. People don't always know about the hours of work behind the scenes that parent volunteers do, Shaheen has been very busy liaising with the teachers, parents and Crazy Camel!! Thank you Shaheen!
DADS AND DONUTS
Thank you to the Year 5 team lead by Kym Hayat, Rachel Bloom, Esther Lauretti and Anna Angus for a spectacular morning of deliciousness and fun under the COLA. Thanks to our sponsors, the Sawicki family, Bay City Auto group and the Lim family, Squash Melbourne. This really is a special date in our annual calendar and enjoyed by many.
DOGS LUNCH AT THE LOCAL
Thanks to Mick Hennig for arranging this great lunch which was enjoyed by many Dads. The beer the DOGS brewed, the Dishlicker was fresh and on tap. A reminder for the month of September, $1 from every GPS brewed beer at The Local or Stomping Ground goes to the school. So another shout out to Guy and Claudia Greenstone for their consistent effort to support our school!! It means so much. On that note, we are looking for any parents with their Responsible service of alcohol. If you have this please reach out!
DISCO
Wow! What a sensational event! The fairy floss was flowing, neon lights were glowing, DJ was incredible and the kids simply had a blast! Another annual event that is truly “memory making!”.
Led by the incredible Tanya Shulman, thank you to her team of helpers, Shaheen Khan, Sinem Ibrahim, Sim Skovron, Lainie Hanan, Kelly Krepak, Lisa Shiran, Romy Same, Mel Sput, Nat Anker Cohen and Lex Edmunds. These events take hours in planning and ordering and organising and then on disco day - it’s huge! Thank you to the parents who signed up to help with set up, during the discos and at pack up. The hero’s at pack up know how I feel. It’s not a glamourous job to pick up rubbish and clean spills from the floor but it has to be done and I’m so grateful to those parents who get down and dirty!
Phew what a term!

2025 GPS HERRRBY EXTRAVAGANZEA FAIR - SUNDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 11AM-4PM
A few people have asked when the Fair is... it's NEXT TERM... Every newsletter we will be giving information and asking for assistance so please read and do what you can! Together we can have the most wonderful Fair for our community.
Crafters
We are looking for talented crafters and makers of all ages to donate goods for the GPS Fair Handmade stall! As the pictures show, we've had some fun donations so far and we're open to any and all donations, as long as they are handmade. All goods will need to be donated (though can be returned if not sold), makers can be credited e.g. 'Jane, Grade 2A' or business cards can be displayed to promote your business and 100% of sales will go towards the school. If you're interested, please fill out this form https://forms.gle/8L7NdiwVQFpEUkuB7 or email ireen.taufika@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Glass Jars
We are also collecting glass jars for a terrarium craft activity for the fair so please bring jars to either campus if you have any.
Volunteer Coordinator
We are looking for someone to help organise the volunteers on the day. Help create the sign ups and manage volunteers. It’s a pretty small role. Please reach out.
SECOND HAND UNIFORM SALE - FRIDAY 10TH OCTOBER - 8:40 - 9:10AM
We are holding our last uniform sale for 2025, the first week back in Term 4, Friday 10th October. We have a plentiful supply of stock, so this time we are not taking donations of used uniforms other than recent jumpers and hoodies, dresses and any new uniform pieces. Please drop off at the Junior Campus office.
CHOCS AND SOCKS DAY - FRIDAY 10TH OCTOBER
Students are able to wear fun socks and bring along a chocolate to donate to the fair. It can be a slab of chocolate or a packet of smaller ones. Students wear normal school uniforms, just fun cute socks and bring chocs to donate!
