School and Kindergarten Parents and Friends Association Meeting
What an amazing turnout we had at the first PFA meeting for 2023. Thank you to those parents who were able to come along, or sent through an apology. Following feedback, this year we will be alternating the days when meetings occur, generally on a Thursday or Friday.
The next PFA meeting will be the Annual General Meeting followed by a General Meeting on Thursday 9th 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 new and existing parents are encouraged to attend and toddlers are most welcome.
Second-hand Uniform Shop – Open Friday 17th February
The PFA will be running the Second-hand Uniform on a weekly basis, opening this Friday 17th February, 2.45pm. All items can be purchased for a gold coin donation. If you have any uniform items that are in good condition, you are welcome to bring these along to the shop on a Friday afternoon or can be dropped into the school administration office any time.
Easter Raffle - Tuesday 4th 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. Donations can be left at the office.
Cookbooks - Grow, Harvest, Prepare, Share - $5 per book
The Parents and Friends Association have produced beautiful, full colour cookbook printed on luxurious high quality paper. This great book is sure to last a lifetime, making it a great memento from our school, kindergarten and community of Miners Rest. All recipes featured in the book have been tried and tested. The cook book will be selling for $5.
Student Display Books
Through the PFA, we also have Student Display Folders for sale for $15 each. These are great for storing your child's reports, achievement certificates etc. Both the Display Folders and Cookbooks are available from the School General Office.
School Lunches – Monday and Thursday through Quickcliq.com.au
Lunches need to be ordered online through the website www.quickcliq.com.au. Please note: Donuts are currently only available on Thursdays, and you cannot specify which colour donut; there are no dimsims or pasta options due to supplier issues; sauce is provided in each classroom. 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 8.15am 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).
