Parents and Friends

Mothers' Day Stall

We would like to thank the volunteers for assisting with the Mothers' Day Stall.  The students had a great time selecting gifts for their Mothers', which we are sure were appreciated upon receipt on Mothers' Day.

Bunnings BBQ

Thank you to those Parents and students who volunteered and assisted with the Bunnings BBQ on Saturday, 12th of May. Despite the cool weather, the rain did hold off and the PFA was able to conduct the BBQ which raised funds to be used for future PFA events and activities.

School banking

School Banking takes place on each Tuesday of the School Term.

Please note that the Commonwealth Bank have advised that they only have limited stock of the Secret Scratch Pad reward item from Term 1. 

The other reward items currently available are:

• Sparkle Glitter Pens – Term 2
• Glow Light Torch – Term 2
• Twister Power Handball – Term 1
• Cyber Handball – 2017
• Colour change Markers – 2017
• Tablet Case – 2017
• Pencil + Tech Case – 2017
• Smiley Emoji Keyring – 2017

The Commonwealth Bank have also advised that they have put new controls in place to prevent a recurrence of the issue recently reported in the news about the practices of some of their staff making deposits to the Youthsaver bank accounts under their banking program in 2013.  The Commonwealth Bank acknowledged that it was a breach of Trust and they have taken steps, such as increasing the minimum deposit to make an account active to $5; in order to ensure that the situation does not repeat in the future.
