Colour Fun Run

I would like to say a thank you to Daniela and Lisa for taking ownership of the Colour Fun Run from start to finish. Having you both take the lead has been such a relief and a blessing for me. I am so grateful for your time, and for everything you have done to bring this event together for our children.

Our Parents & Friends events help create the community we all love at St Margaret’s. From the Welcome BBQ, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day breakfasts to the pie drive, Easter raffle, disco and Christmas party, each event gives our families an opportunity to connect and creates special memories for our children.

For 2027, I would love to gather a team who can collaborate, share ideas and bring these events to life together. If you have ever thought about putting your hand up to take the lead on an event, please don’t be afraid to reach out. You don’t need to have all the answers or previous experience—there is support available, and we can talk through what is involved.

Perhaps there is one event you would love to organise, or perhaps you would like to join me on the Parents & Friends journey and help guide the year’s activities. Whether you can offer a little time or take on a bigger role, you would be warmly welcomed.

If you are interested, have questions or would simply like to know more, please contact the school office for my number, or email parentsfriends@smmaribyrnong.catholic.edu.au. I would love to have a chat.

Many hands really do make light work, and sharing the load makes it more enjoyable for everyone. Let’s build a team for 2027 and keep creating wonderful experiences for our school community.

St Margaret’s Christmas Picnic & BBQ – Celebrating 2026

As another wonderful school year comes to an end, the St Margaret’s Parents & Friends warmly invite all our families to come together for an evening of celebration, friendship, and Christmas cheer.

It's a lovely opportunity to reflect on the year we've shared, celebrate the memories made, the friendships formed and the wonderful community that makes St Margaret’s so special.

We are also excited to extend a very warm welcome to our new Prep families joining us in 2027. We would love for the new families to come along, meet some familiar and new faces, and begin feeling part of our beautiful school community.

Join us on Thursday 3rd December from 5:00pm for a relaxed evening of Christmas carols performed by our students, live music, a BBQ and refreshments available to purchase, and perhaps even a special visit from Santa or the Grinch! Please RSVP via School Stream. 

Bring along your picnic rugs, your family and your Christmas spirit as we celebrate the end of 2026 together.

After all, it's the people, friendships and sense of belonging that make our school community so wonderful.

We look forward to celebrating with you all!
