Parents and Friends

PFA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

All Parents are invited to attend the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the PFA on Wednesday 7th November at 7.30pm. A notice and nomination form have been emailed out to families and is also attached to this Newsletter.  

We understand that we all lead busy lives, however, if you are community minded and interested in helping others then we encourage you to get involved with the PFA, either by nominating for a position, coordinating an event, volunteering to help or simply attending a PFA meeting.

 

Nomination forms are required to be returned to the PFA; signed by the Nominee and two members, by Wednesday 31st October. 

 

 We encourage all Parents to become actively involved in both the PFA Executive and activities.

ENTERTAINMENT BOOKS

The 2018/19 Entertainment Books are now available for purchase from the school office.  The books are crammed with great value and a portion of each sale goes to the PFA. You can also purchase a digital membership here 

SCHOOL BANKING

School banking takes place on each Tuesday of the School Term.

 

We are looking for parent volunteers for Term 4 2018 who can commit to assisting on Tuesdays. Please contact Juli Tu via pfa@standrews.vic.edu.au

2ND HAND UNIFORM SHOP

Please note that the Uniform Shop will officially reopen on Wednesday 7th of November in our new location just next to the Multi-Purpose Hall and student drop off area.

 

The Uniform Shop will open from 8:30am - 9:30am each Wednesday during the Term from the 7th of November. We look forward to welcoming you at our new location as you grab a bargain.

Parents are required to record the hours they have completed in the Parent Hours Book which is kept in the College office. You will be charged a Parent Participation fee of $250 at the commencement of each year and will be credited at the end of the semester for any work done.
