Hello Parents and Caregivers,

Not long to go until the end of term 1, we hope all the children have now settled into their new classes especially our Foundation students. I’m sure all the children are looking forward to a break and no doubt lots of chocolate from the Easter Bunny.

We are still looking for some parent/caregivers to be part of the STAC group, if you are interested in being part of this team or would like more information, please email stacgroup@stacbourne.catholic.edu.au

After a curious year last year, the STAC Group is looking to be bigger and better in 2023 and expand parent involvement. For the STAC Group to do this we are looking for an additional 4-6 parents to be part of a team that are involved in the planning, organizing and communication of STAC Group fundraising and community events.

The team would:

Meet to decide on STAC group fundraising and community event for the year. (Bring new ideas)
Set dates for events that fit in with other school activities.
Liaise with the school on STAC group matters.
Set up planning groups /organize helpers for events.
Provide STAC group communication to the school community via newsletters, posters, Seesaw App etc.
Have flexibility in scheduling meetings - you don’t necessarily need to be hands on at events and don’t need to be available school hours only.
Have fun and feel awesome for helping the school build a great community.

Without parent involvement in the planning and organizing of fundraising events we may not be able to continue holding our wonderful Mother’s and Father’s Day stalls, Easter Raffle and other fundraising and community events in the future.

So get behind your STAC Group and together we can achieve incredible things as a school and as a community.

Easter Raffle

Raffle tickets have now been sent home, one per family. If you would like any extra books there are some available at the office. Funds raised will go to the purchase of new playground equipment.

We will be looking for some helpers to put together the raffle prizes on Tuesday the 4th of April at 9am in the parent lounge. If you can spare some time to assist, please email stacgroup@stacbourne.catholic.edu.au.

Please check in via the office to gain access the Parent Lounge.
