Parents and Friends Association

Thank you so much to Vittoria O'Brien (and her team of helpers) who have just rolled out the pasta fundraiser.

Also an heartfelt thank you to all our parents and families who have been involved in the college musical, Shrek the Musical. It has been an enormous task, running over many months, from costumes to sets and everything in between. It was a spectacular event that showcases the community working together at its best!

The PFA also look forward to supporting the Fathers Day Breakfast celebrations and 60th school anniversary. ‘Watch this space’ for more information in the coming weeks on the schools milestone. Save the date for the Fathers Day Breakfast on Friday 30 August.

The Year 7 families recently had their first coffee catchup. Thank you to those who attended, its a great way to stay connected and meet other families. There have also been other social gatherings organised by the PFA. Stayed tuned for more opportunities to catchup with the families in your year level in the near future!

If you have any questions, suggestions or wish to be involved in the PFA, please email pfa@koonung.vic.edu.au.

Theatre Parents Group

It has been a busy year for the Koonung Theatre Parents. Earlier this year the group organised at Once Upon a Swamp, a Knight of Tunes and Trivia at Box Hill Town Hall. This was a most successful event raising approximately $5000 for this year’s production of Shrek the Musical.

The Theatre Parents Group have been working tirelessly all year to create wonderful sets and costumes for our students to shine on stage.

If you’d like to join the Koonung Theatre Parents they would love to hear from you – it takes a whole community to put on a musical, and there are many ways to get involved, ranging from sets and costumes to front of house and fundraising. Please contact koonungtheatre@gmail.com for more information.

Second Hand Uniform Shop

The second hand uniform shop is open on Fridays from 2pm to 3:15pm

Good quality second hand uniform items for sale or donation are always gratefully received and can be left at the administration office.

The role of a Parent Representative needs no experience, just a willing spirit to facilitate parent connection in your student’s year level. You have the flexibility to organise coffee outings, dinners, a Sunday afternoon picnic or whatever you like doing! We generally recommend 2 representatives to support each other for your year level.
