Parents and Friends Association

Last year I had the pleasure of meeting many Early Learning Centre parents and students during the Chalk Café Parent Welcome Mornings. The enthusiasm they had for the School and the P&F was wonderful to see. Sadly due to COVID it’s been many months since, but we are finally able to welcome parents/carers to our Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 15 June at 7:00pm in the Library.  It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet new families, talk to the School Executive and find out how you can be involved. 

This year we have some P&F members moving on as their children have since graduated and we are looking for new members to join us.  We meet twice a term with attendance encouraged but not compulsory. I look forward to seeing you all there!!

Clothing Collection for Yipirinya School, Alice Springs

John Wollaston in partnership with Peter Moyes Anglican Community School, we will be collecting second-hand winter clothing, shoes and football boots for students at Yipirinya School, Alice Springs. 

Yipirinya is a small school in Alice Springs where some students travel hundreds of kilometres to get to school. Often these students are attending school inadequately dressed for the cold early mornings and night-time temperatures which can go below zero. Peter Moyes teacher, Kristina O’Brien is currently conducting her health studies within the Alice Springs school and has asked for help in collecting second-hand clothes. Ms O'Brien will be providing students with a pack of warm winter clothes to take home. 

The collection with be handed to Ms O’Brien on Friday 10 June before she travels to Alice Springs. 

The following items are being collected for distribution:

• Winter clothes sizes 5 to 16
• Shoes 
• Football boots

If you can assist in clothing donations, boxes will be placed outside the Primary Reception each day between 8:00am and 3:15pm. For more information, please contact Primary PE Specialist Mel Fowler on SEQTA Direqt Message.

Wonder Recycling Rewards for Schools

Our school is teaming up with Wonder Recycling Rewards to help reduce soft plastic waste in our environment and earn new sports equipment for our school. 

We are calling on all students, parents and staff to start collecting bread bags and placing them in the collection bins at the ELC, Primary or Students Services Receptions. Any bag that has held bread is recyclable and will help the School earn points to redeem on new sports equipment.
