Our 2019 Mango Fundraiser order forms are due today - Monday 28th October. So, if you haven’t done so already please return your form to the office with full payment. Delivery of the yummy fresh mangoes will be early December with the exact details to be advised closer to the day. Thank you to Sue and Amanda for coordinating this great fundraiser.
Thank you to the Griffiths Family for supplying Friday’s cake raffle and the Taubert family for harvesting produce from the garden. We raised $37.00 from ticket sales. Raffle tickets are available for purchase in the courtyard each Friday before assembly.
Would you like to be class parent rep in 2020? The role is fun and rewarding, not only does it provide families with a point of contact at a class level but it gives you the opportunity to connect and make new friends. If you would like any more information on what is involved with being a class parent rep please email me at mprps.pf@gmail.com or have a chat to Sue or Ally at the office.
