A ‘Thank You’ Note

Mother’s Day Stall – Happy Mother’s Day

What a huge success! We hope all mothers, grandmothers and carers were excited to open, and are still enjoying, their carefully selected gifts.

We know the children couldn’t wait to purchase your special gift and we commend them for being very patient and polite when waiting for their turn in line. Thank you to Lucy Leahy for organising and purchasing the wonderful array of gifts for the children to choose from. A big thank you to the volunteers also, who helped on the day to set up and sell the gifts to the children.

Mother’s Day High Tea

Thank you to all that attended the event. We hope you all enjoyed the wonderful and scrumptious goodies provided by Fabulous Catering Melbourne. They once again provided us with a wonderful assortment of finger foods to enjoy with some hot, much needed coffee and teas.

Thank you to Barry Plant Coburg for sponsoring our event. Congratulations to the lucky mothers who won the wonderful door prizes that were generously donated:

Sylvaine Moses from Grace Cosmetics
- Pamper trial pack
- Hand and body lotions
- $10 discount vouchers for ‘The Gel Bottle’ nail manicure
Cyclamen flower plants courtesy of the P&F – by Flowers by 2 Sisters

We also hope you all make great use of the free facial voucher offered to all mums at the event, donated by Sylvaine Moses from Grace Cosmetics. We would also like to say thank you to TLC for Kids for setting up their absolutely divine candles by MOR at the event. The candles made the hall smell extra special even without being lit!

Candles are also available for purchase online after the event, directly from TLC for Kids. A wonderful gift idea for any special person in your life, not just mums! See flyer for details.

Again, thank you all for attending this special event. We all deserve a break from everyday life once in a while and what better way than with a little pampering and some scrumptious food! Last but not least, a HUGE thankyou to all the P&F Committee for working tirelessly over the last couple of weeks to make this event happen. Also a thankyou to all the volunteers that helped set up the event, help at the event and/or help with the big (not so fun) job of cleaning up after the event! And a thankyou to Manuela, Janine, and the school office ladies for their much needed support and for putting up with us (the P&F committee) with all our requests!!

Earn & Learn

Woolworths has just launched Earn & Learn, and we're once again joining it. For those parents who aren't aware of the program, if you shop at Woolworths between 1st of May and the 25th of June you can earn stickers. Our school will be collecting these stickers which we'll be able to swap for new school equipment; things like art and craft supplies, sports gear, teaching aids, and more. So for any parents who shop at Woolworths, please collect those stickers and drop them in to our collection box, which is located in the front office. Tell your friends and family too!! We also have a collection box at Coburg Woolworths to make it easy for them to donate to our school. Thanks for helping out!
