Warrandyte Festival - volunteers needed

It’s that time of year again and the Warrandyte Festival is being held on March 17-19 and Andersons Creek Primary will be running a food stall on Saturday March 18 and Sunday March 19. Our kebabs, icy-poles and sparkling fruit juice were a huge hit last year and we will be having a similar menu this year.

We need plenty of volunteers to help us run the stall - absolutely no experience needed! - and you can sign up at https://acps.to/2023-festival-roster

The Festival was our major fundraiser last year and that was just from one day. This year we have two days to raise money for the school but we can’t do it without your help. Working at the food stall is good fun, helps the school and doesn’t take up much of your time so please join us and get your friends to help out too.

As an incentive, we will have a prize for the class who provides the most volunteer helpers (measured by total time committed). A pyjama day complete with movie and popcorn…just for the winning class. If that’s not a reason to sign up, I don’t know what is! (And yes, if you have more than one child, your volunteer help will be counted for the classes of all your children.)

Our major fundraising aim is to replace one of our playgrounds with brand new equipment and funds raised at the Festival will be essential to achieving that goal.

I’ll be there all weekend and I hope to see you there too. Just look at how much fun we had last year!

Farewell...and welcome to our School Council members

This Tuesday we held our final meeting of the 2022 School Council. Our next meeting on Tuesday March 21 will be with the new 2023 council members.

I'd like to thank all the members of our 2022 council and to welcome to those that are joining us for the first time in 2023. We're saying farewell to Georgie and Lucy and welcome to Michelle, Myles and Rick for the first time.
