Our AGM and first General Meeting for 2022 will be held this Wednesday the 9th February from 6pm in the year 5/6 classroom. We will have some activities set up next door so that if your children come with you, they can be entertained!
We would love to see lots of parents (new and old) come along to this meeting and we promise you won't be put under any pressure to take on a role but of course encourage you to put your hand up if you would like to be involved.
Save the date:
23rd February 5.30pm - Welcome back picnic for our school community
27th February 9.30am - Family mass and paver laying at the school pathway
More information for these events will be sent through shortly.
We have left the following items in the newsletter for this week to enable our new Kindy enrolments and their parents to find out how the PT&F runs in our school.
Hello Parents, Teachers and Friends,
If you are a new member to our community, or have been here before, welcome to the new year! We hope you enjoy your time at St Joseph's.
Our PT&F committee is a group of dedicated and committed “doers” who are passionate about the St Joseph’s community. We are here to support and assist in bringing our community together and we also like to fundraise so that we can provide the little extras (like books, gardening and sporting equipment, canteen) to the school and ultimately, our children.
This is us:
President – Clare Lee (Mum to Charles -yr 6 and Rosie – yr 4)
Vice President – Kate Dillon (Mum to Olive – yr 5)
Secretary – Marnie Jamieson (Mum to Jorja – yr 4 & Tayla – yr 1)
Treasurer – Jenni Hird (Mum to Ricky – yr 4 and Ryder – yr 1)
Together with our teaching and support staff, we meet on the 2nd and 6th Wednesday of each term, in the library, from 6pm. Our meetings run for an hour, and we discuss many and varied things but mainly how we can value-add to our already wonderful school community. Be it through supporting our families, our children or fundraising.
We are now calling for parents and friends to assist in our canteen. Generally, canteen is offered to the children on a Friday, and we aim to cook fresh and healthy meals, made with seasonal produce. Availability of canteen is largely dependent on assistance by you, our school community. If you can lend a hand for a few hours on a Friday, please contact us via the below method.
You can find our calendar of events with this newsletter. If you can assist with any of the activities please let me know via phone on 0409079932 or email sjptfquirindi@gmail.com
We also have a Facebook 'Parent Page' called; St Joey's Quirindi Parents. We would love for you to join this page which is designed to: Ask questions and discuss school events.
Sunflower Trail Fundraiser - Jenni Hird
During the holidays, the PT&F held a very successful fundraising event as part of the Sunflower Trail. We set up a little ‘pop up stall’ in the paddock and at the grand woolshed at Windy Station selling - Art Packs, drinks and cut sunflowers to the many visitors that came. Children from everywhere immersed themselves amongst the sunflowers and created little painting masterpieces. It was a fabulous couple of days and I would like to thank the Lee family for inviting our school to have the stall in the sunflowers and importantly the mums, dads, & teachers who helped out behind the scenes getting it all ready for the stall over the 2 days and the pack up afterwards. It was fantastic to have some new Joey's families helping out over the weekend and hopefully 2022 is a kind year for our planned social & fundraising events.
