P&F News
Welcome to a fresh school year! I hope everyone had a restful break from routine and an enjoyable time with their families over the school holidays.
P&F Committee:
All are welcome to join our school P&F Committee. If you would like to be involved, please e mail me or come along to our next meeting. If you are unable to attend our monthly meetings due to work or other commitments, please feel free to email me and I will add you to the group so you can receive the meeting agendas and minutes.
We are very keen to have new members join to help support the volunteer work, behind the scenes organisation and to help share the load of special fundraising events such as the school fair, student services including special lunch days each term and toast each morning, along with social events for our community to come together. Without volunteers we are unable to offer these opportunities for our students and community. Please consider joining this year if you are able to, to support our wonderful P&F Committee. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to our 2024 year by volunteering, giving your own time and supporting our school and students! Looking forward to a wonderful 2025!
Next P&F Meeting:
Our first P&F meeting for this year will be held on Wednesday 19th February from 2-3pm, prior to school pick up at 3:15pm. All welcome! Please meet at the school office. If you would like to join and/or take on a role within our committee please come along!
Toast:
Toast is available each morning for all students who would like some extra fuel before they begin the school day. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who prepare and serve the toast each morning and to those who collect the bread as well as top up the supplies! If you would like to join the roster, please let myself or Jo Lawrence know or you can pass your name onto Krystal in the office.
Student Special Lunch Day:
Each term, our students have the opportunity to enjoy a special lunch organised by the P&F Committee. Stay tuned for our Term One lunch and date!
Sushi Lunch Orders:
Every Friday, students have the opportunity to have a sushi lunch order provided by Lunch Box Sushi Castlemaine. If you would like to organise this for your child/ren, please jump online to School lunch online to organise ordering. Orders need to be place prior to 5pm each Thursday afternoon.
Second Hand Uniforms:
Second hand uniforms are available from the school office should you require any. Please also donate any uniform items you may no longer need for others to use. Thank you! (New uniform items can be purchased from Hip Pocket Castlemaine).
