The next PFA meeting will be the Annual General Meeting which will be held on Thursday 12th May 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.
Mother’s Day Stall – Friday 6th May
This year the PFA are offering students the opportunity to purchase gifts at the Mother’s Day stall at a cost of $5 per gift. Students will be able to choose their gifts from the stall throughout the week leading up to Mother’s Day.
To order, simply log in to your Qkr! app and select how many gifts you would like. Orders close on Monday 2nd May and gifts will be chosen from the stall on Friday 6th May. Sorry, no late orders will be accepted after closing date. If you would prefer to place your order using cash or EFTPOS, please collect an order form from the school general office. If you haven't got a Qkr! app account, and would like further information, please contact the office staff and they will help you. Thank you for your support.

Cookbooks – Grow, Harvest, Prepare, Share - $5 per book
The Parents and Friends Association have produced this beautiful, full colour cookbook printed on luxurious high quality paper. This fantastic 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 Folders
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: 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).
