The upcoming state election on Saturday 26 November on is a fantastic opportunity for the school to raise funds from the wider community. These funds will help finalise the school’s new library and resource centre!

 

In order to support our fundraising efforts, we would greatly appreciate if families could contribute the following items for our bake sale:

 

Home-baked goods: e.g. cakes, muffins, cupcakes, cookies, slices, or scones.

 

Items generously donated will need to be:

 

  • Labelled with ingredients (please note this is a health regulation requirement; please complete and securely attach the ingredients form (available at the office) to your goods
  • Shelf stable – do NOT require refrigeration (NO cream fillings or cream cheese icing please)
  • Delivered to the office or parents room by 4pm on Friday 25th November

 

Boxes to use for your baked goods are available at the office.

 

Toy donations*

 

A reminder that we are also accepting donations of pre-loved toys in excellent condition, for sale on the day. Toys can be dropped off to the boxes in the office.

 

*Please note we cannot accept soft toys as they cannot be cleaned. Thank you!

As always, we recognise that not all parents & carers have the capacity to volunteer or donate to our fundraising efforts. We welcome all efforts, not matter how small. If you are interested in helping our school in a way that suits you, or you have a fundraising or social event idea, you can email us any time at morelandps.pnc@gmail.com
