PFA
A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING PARENT COMMUNITY!
We want to say a massive thank you to every family who supported the 2026 Cadbury Chocolate fundraiser. Your generosity, enthusiasm and willingness to get behind the school has been incredible! We look forward to announcing our fundraising total very soon with our school community!
Congratulations to the top selling class 5/ 6K! They sold a total of 17 boxes and have been awarded with a free dress day! (Date to be announced soon)
Congratulations to our student top seller Andre Rawadi for selling a total of 9 boxes! He has been awarded with a $200 gift card!
It’s been a very busy and exciting few weeks for the PFA!
A huge thank you to all the wonderful mums who joined us for our Mums’ Social Night at Gambino’s in Glen Waverley on Saturday 15th August. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout and enjoy a fun evening together outside of the school environment. With delicious food, great cocktails and plenty of laughs, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect and get to know one another a little better. Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a memorable night!
We would also like to say a big thank you to all the parents and students who supported our Pies & Sausage Rolls Lunch. We hope everyone enjoyed their lunch! A special thank you goes to the wonderful mums who volunteered their time and helped on the day, Stephanie Lombardi, Helen Paone, Diane Le, Asanka Wisidagama, Katherine Lukic, Sia Roussos, Mia Simic and to our organisers Melanie Harper and Lina Dell’Aquila for all their hard work in bringing the event together.
And there is plenty more to come! The PFA has lots of exciting events planned for the remainder of the term, including our annual Father’s Day Stall next week, followed by refreshments for our dads on Friday 4 September, as well as our much-anticipated School Disco and our famous footy day Sausage Sizzle!
We are so grateful for the continued support of our school community. These events would not be possible without the amazing families who volunteer, participate and get behind the PFA. We look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming events!
Please consider signing up to volunteer at one (or more!) of our events this term. It’s a wonderful way to meet other families, support our school, and create memorable experiences for our children.
No experience is needed—we’ll provide all the guidance and support you need.
Keep an eye on your class WhatsApp page for volunteer sign-up links and event details.
Thank you for supporting our PFA—we couldn’t do it without our wonderful school community! 💚💛
PFA news is always added in the weekly newsletter, displayed on the school notice board and shared in our class WhatsApp groups.
You can always drop us an email if you have any questions about our PFA or would like to become involved in any way!
