School and Kindergarten Parents and Friends Association Meeting

The next PFA meeting will be the Annual General Meeting which will be held on Thursday 17th March at 9am in the Davey Building Conference Room (school administration building). This is a great opportunity to meet new parents, staff and a place where you can share your ideas for fundraising and how you would like to see the money raised to be spent on your children. All parents are encouraged to attend and toddlers are welcome. Please note due to covid regulations, you do need to be double-vaxed or be able to show proof of exemption.

Secondhand Uniform Shop

The secondhand uniform shop will be open weekly this term on a Friday afternoon from 2.45pm in the Brady Building Library. Gold coin donation per item please. If you have any uniform items that are in good condition, you are welcome to bring these along on Friday afternoon or can be dropped into the school administration office any time.

School Lunches – Monday and Thursday through Quickcliq.com.au

Lunches need to be ordered online through the website www.quickcliq.com.au. Please note: Sauce is provided in each classroom, and you cannot specify which colour donut. Some days, not all items are available or sell out quickly. We recommend to try and order as early as possible, with orders closing at 8.30am on the day of delivery.

Please update your child’s profile to reflect the correct teacher and room (this saves a lot of time when the caterers are distributing the lunches into the classroom containers).

SpringFest Ballarat Harness Racing – Thursday 3rd March

Miners Rest Primary School and Kindergarten are beneficiaries of SpringFest Ballarat. We have volunteered at many events throughout the last three years. To receive funding as a beneficiary, it is expected we have a few tables at the Harness Racing night. The night is fun, relaxed and the best part – you don’t have to cook!

Where: Ballarat & District Trotting Club

First Race: 6.00PM

Cost: $40 pp – Children U16 $22pp which includes entry, 3 course meal & race book (drinks at bar prices)

Please book a table or spot by leaving your details and payment at the office.

Easter Raffle – Wednesday 6th April

The chocolates have been on the shelves since Boxing Day so we are now asking for donations towards our annual PFA Easter Raffle. Anything and everything Easter related can be donated which will be turned into one of the many wonderful prizes. Raffle sheets will go home next week – please keep an eye out.
