FWPS Parents Association

From the Parents Association

On behalf of the FWPS Parents Association we would like to wish our community a healthy and happy Ramadan. Eid-al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan later this month and we have a fun activity for those interested to join the celebrations. Watch this space.

Easter Raffle Fundraiser 

The traditional FWPS Easter raffle will be run in the final weeks of Term 1. We support the school who runs the raffle and it is a great fundraiser event. 

If you are able to, please consider purchasing an item to donate to the raffle - we will be able to take donations at the office from 11th March (after the long weekend). Easter theme is the only ask. For those new to FWPS, in past years our families have donated generously as we have been able to create a prize per class. 

Look out for the school's compass post with details on how to buy ticket.

Second Hand Uniform Shop - Next opening planned for 24th March

Unfortunately, we didn't get any parent volunteers to assist with opening for the prep welcome picnic this year, so we couldn't open as planned. However, we plan to open on the 24th March, and we are still seeking volunteers to assist.  Sign up here if you can assist: Second-Hand Uniform Shop 2025 signup sheet.

A reminder - we sell FWPS beanies that prove very popular in the cooler weather - $20 (apologies last week the incorrect price was listed). And we also have a limited supply of iron on green school logo transfers for purchase - $1. The shop offers payment by cash, card and payment via your school bonus.

Mother’s & Special Person’s day stall 

We are already preparing for this much loved event to be held in Term 2. 

Sign up here to assist with sales on the day: Mother's & Special Person's Day Stall 2025 signup sheet (note you have to have a WWCC that is sighted by the office team, and have completed the school's online volunteer induction course to assist).

If you would like to get involved, sign up to our mailing list: FWPS Parents Association. Alternatively, reach out to us at FWPSParentsAssociation@outlook.com.

With thanks,

Alicia and Clare
