Parents Association 

What an amazing day for the Mothers Day Lunch.  The sun came out for our arrival and Elwood Bathers put on a beautiful spread for us mums.  It really was fantastic day and night and I know a few of us were a little more tired than usual the next day!

 

A very huge thanks to all the organisers for the day including Michelle Thomas, Cass White and Kate Korber.

 

Our other very grateful thanks go to:

Elwood Bathers for allowing us to celebrate in style, along with Belucci for opening their doors post event!

Kate Pascoe for her happy snaps

Our very own Nat Jarvis, from Electric Confetti, for the sparkles upon entry

Emily at Think Blooms for giving us an overload for the senses through her stunning floral arrangements

Sam & Sam for providing the ripper tunes

 

We'd also like to send a huge thankyou to our beautiful mums from Year 5 who donated prizes for our, somewhat clunky, lucky polaroid draw, including Anika Walker, Candice Murray-Beckman and Fernanda Ramos.

 

These fun and memorable events wouldn’t happen without our amazing volunteers.

THANKS FROM THE PA

We are very grateful for the continued support of all our parents, the school and local  community.  All our PA members are volunteers who generously give up their own time to organise our school events. 

 

Contributions from our fundraising efforts will be put towards many areas across the school.  Some initial ideas that have strong support from the PA group and school community are 1) Outdoor furniture for the Tilley playground 2) Improving school security 3) Retractable cafe style blinds for the exterior of the undercover area so it can be used during hot or wet days.

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly:
