Our last event this term is a Pizza Club and Weeding Night on Friday 31 March! Bring something to bake in the pizza oven, come along to pull out plants in Yakai Baring, or do both! Bring your gloves, bring your uncooked pizza ingredients, bring a friend and make it a Fun Friday. Note that pizzas won’t be for sale, it is just an invitation to use the oven as a community.

Voting is OPEN for our trivia night theme for next term - choose between “Carnivals” (eg Rio, Venice, Pride, New Orleans, Carnie folk…), “The Future” (eg future fashion, future world, future you) or “Musicals” (Eg Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Xanadu, Hamilton, Matilda…). CAST YOUR VOTE at reception in the respective jars- with a gold coin (or note!) donation. All funds go to the school! So show your support, and get your favourite theme locked in as a bonus! ***Voting closes on March 31 so get your votes in now!

Trivia Night 

We are setting up a small team to organise the Trivia Night next term. For the trivia team we will need people to plan decorations, set up bookings, arrange running sheets, and coordinate the bar. It will involve working together during the first 5 weeks of term 2. It’s a great way to get to know other parents and carers at the school! We will also need people on the day to set up, serve and pack up. Please email us at cet@brunswicknwps.vic.edu.au to let us know you’re keen or to clarify the possible time commitment.

Thank you!
