Locked Down Trivia Night
We have been invited to join nine other schools online for a Fundraiser
Trivia night!
Join us on September 11 from 8pm to 9.30pm for Trivia Fun!
Although it is FREE to join and to participate, this is a fundraising event
and we have the potential to earn funds for our school playground by
participating and promoting to our wider community, so your support is
much appreciated!

Virtual Learning & Entertainment Hub
Clever Cookies is an online learning and entertainment hub facilitated by
the Families and Friends. We organise a calendar of affordable events
and courses virtually provided for our wider community to participate in
and ask that a percentage of the profit from fees is donated to SMPPS
Families & Friends.
We are looking for volunteers to:
- Run a course and donate their time or a percentage of the fees
- Connect us with your network - do you know a clever cookie who
could run a course?
Think:
- Guitar lessons, language lessons, pilates classes, art lessons,
cooking classes and more - we are open to hearing from as
many clever cookies as we can!
- Trivia nights, games nights, what else can be held online?
Contact: contact.smppsff@gmail.com for more information or to express
interest in joining the Clever Cookies community. We are developing our
September/ October calendar now!
Families & Friends Cookbook
Volunteers needed
Planning has begun for this Families & Friends Fundraising initiative.
The aim is to put together a fabulous cookbook with recipes and
photographs contributed by members of our school community. This
delightful keepsake will then be available for purchase later in the year,
with proceeds going towards our school playground fund.
Please contact Adriana directly on 0478 302 105 for more information on
how to assist. Alternatively contact Families & Friends on
contact.smppsff@gmail.com.
Families & Friends Art Exhibit
Volunteers needed
We have our fingers crossed that we will be able to organise an Art
Exhibit (with staggered ticketing and viewing times if necessary), hopeful
in October this year. As well as being a wonderful way to share our
children’s creativity, this is also a unique way to bring our community
together and fundraise for our school playground fund.
Should you be artistically inclined or feel as though you have the skills to
help to organise the event, please contact Baige directly on 0422 436
235. Alternatively contact Families & Friends on
contact.smppsff@gmail.com.
