CSRs
Kirsten Brooks, PFA President
Thank you to the team of volunteers offering to put on events and activities throughout the year for our cohorts, and for your patience as we organise and adjust events to manage changes in the COVID environment.
PFA and CSRs will communicate on Facebook cohort pages and via email with alerts for their events, and we ask you to check before attending. It is essential to RSVP so CSRs can plan for these situations and manage bookings.
If you would like to join the CSR team, please sign up here.

Jam/Relish Day – Sunday 14 March – Food Tech Centre
Parents, secondary students and extended family are welcome to come along for a social day of cooking jams and relish for the Fair. There will be a morning and afternoon session, or come for the day. Sign up here.
In the meantime..
Collect jars (no labels, clean, jam-sized, lids preferable). Wash, cut and freeze tomatoes/jamming fruit whilst they are in season, and therefore, cheaper. Email ingredients, the product, your name and the date to Deb Duce at duced@kilvington.vic.edu.au. We will provide labels.
Collecting now ...
Books, toys (educational, lego, etc), games, puzzles. Drop to School on SHUS days - 27 Feb and 27 March between 9.00 - 11.00am. Please ensure items are in good condition, clean and complete. Puzzles and games can be placed in bags or sealed, so pieces are not lost. No text books, thank you.
The following items can be delivered to Reception, or on SHUS days:
- Wine/spirit bottles for wine bingo
- Chocolate blocks, all sizes for Choc Toss game
Propagate plants – indoor, outdoor, edibles – start now for good healthy plants.
Sponsorship of our free rides
Our free rides make our Fair a welcoming event. Details of sponsorship can be found by emailing pfa@kilvignton.vic.edu.au. I thank you for your generous consideration.
