St James Kids Adventure Camp (Run by the Dads) 17-19th March 2023
2023 was the biggest camp yet!!! with 49 Dads (10 first timers) and 84 kids tearing around the YMCA Anglesea. There was plenty of fun across the weekend with lots of activities, beach time and most importantly friendships strengthened as St James families came together.
A big thank you to Dave & Michelle Thomas who put in so much work preparing and organizing the weekend, mums were also very grateful for the time off.
EASTER RAFFLE & BONNET PARADE
If everyone can kindly continue to bring in their chocolate and Easter donations for the raffle. Tubs have been placed in all classrooms for collection. Easter eggs will be used to create baskets which are then raffled off. If you could please have your donations in by Tues 28th Marchto allow for sorting and wrapping that would be amazing!

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) Improving school security 2) 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:
