Parent Club News

Welcome everyone to a new school year.

During the year you will find information about various fundraising activities and opportunities to participate in the Spring Gully Parents Club here. We’d love to encourage anyone who would like to get involved to come along and join us, the more the merrier. We will be gathering again on Friday 7th March in the meeting room to put together our Easter raffle books. Our next official meeting will take place early in Term 2, date to be confirmed. If you’d like to get involved, please make yourself known to your child’s classroom teacher or email Kellie Schajermann on kellie.schajermann@gmail.com

We welcome your involvement in any capacity you can offer. All time and contributions are greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to a fun filled, fantastic year, with lots of successful fundraising to support our school and students to ‘Be Awesome’.

Fundraising

The cut-off date for the Tesselaar bulb fundraiser is getting closer with the final date for orders being Friday 11th April. You can order anytime up until this date at www.bulbfundraiser.com.au/SPRINGGPS. Please continue to share these details with your garden loving family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and acquaintances to maximize our fundraising potential. Our school will receive 40% from each order, with all orders being sent directly to the buyer, so there is no need for collecting or distributing orders.

Our annual Easter raffle is getting close with the raffle to be drawn on the last day of term at the Easter Hat Parade. A book of tickets will be sent home with your child next week, so we ask that you please check their school bags. We would also like to kindly ask for any donations for raffle prizes to be handed in at the school’s front office. This could include Easter themed colouring books, chocolate eggs, soft toys, craft or any other fun items that could be enjoyed by our students and families.

We will provide more information regarding future fundraising opportunities in the coming newsletters. We thank you for your contribution and support of our fundraising opportunities and events for our wonderful school.

Fruit Friday

We are very grateful for the ongoing support offered by the McKern Foundation, who generously supply our fruit for Fresh Fruit Friday every week. Fresh Fruit Friday preparations take place in the staff room from 8:45am.  This is a wonderful opportunity to make new connections with other parents. New volunteers are always welcome and appreciated.
