2nd Hand Uniform Stall
On Friday 8th March, the P&F are running a 2nd Hand Uniform Stall, at 3pm in the school staffroom. At the stall you can find preloved, great quality school uniforms at fantastic, cheap prices. This particular stall will provide access to the St. Fidelis' winter uniform so that families are ready to transition during Term 2. Other items of uniforms will still be available for purchase. Please note that this is a cash only event, and we ask that you bring your own shopping bag.
2nd HAND UNIFORM DONATIONS
We welcome any donations of second-hand uniforms for our upcoming stalls. Please ensure that the uniforms:
- Are in acceptable condition with no fading, missing logos or stains.
- Have a school logo or are PSW labelled, therefore no Kmart/Target/etc. purchases.
- Are in a clean condition.
Please place your items in a bag and hand into the school office to donate. Many thanks.
St. Fidelis' Community Open Day
Save the date – On Sunday 17th March from 12pm – 4pm we are hosting a Community Open Day. Like the event we ran in 2023, there will be food/drinks, market stalls, children’s activities, school tours and much more. There are TWO exciting new additions that have been added to this year’s Community Day:
- Sensory Friendly Space. The Foundation area (indoor and outdoor spaces) will be a ‘low sensitivity, quiet zone’ to benefit our students and children in the community with sensory sensitivities. Sensory friendly activities will be set-up in the Foundation classrooms all day, where parents are able to supervise their children, should they require some quiet time.
- St. Fidelis' Instrumental & Vocal Performances. From 1:30pm you are invited to watch the instrumental and vocal talent of some of our St. Fidelis' students/parents as they perform on stage, just outside the grade 1/2 area. If you or your child can perform an instrumental or vocal piece (whole song), please SIGN UP to take part in this event once the sign-up sheet is released. If you would like to sign yourself or a student up for this event, please click on the following link: https://signup.com/go/YNngWks
With the community day fast approaching, we ask that you consider volunteering some of your time to assist with stalls/activities. Please use the link below to sign up, your assistance is very much required and appreciated.
The P&F committee are looking forward to hosting this event, please reach out if you would like to assist, if you have a stall you would like to run, or if you are able to source donations for our raffle. Many thanks!
Community Day Raffle
On Sunday 17th March, at the St. Fidelis Community Open Day, we will be drawing a raffle.
Like always families will be given a raffle booklet (you will be receiving these this coming week) with 20 tickets to purchase/sell at only $1 per ticket. Extra tickets will also be available to purchase on the day. The raffle prizes will include Easter themed items as well as various other items, vouchers and products.
In preparation for this raffle, we ask that you consider donating any new and unwanted items for use in our hampers. Some ideas could include homewares, body products, candles, children’s toys, etc. Any donations can be dropped to the school office before Friday 8th March. Your assistance with the organisation of this raffle is very much appreciated.
Further information to follow shortly.
