Parents and Friends News
Dear families,
We held a P&F Meeting on Tuesday, 2nd August 2022. Planning is underway for the Father’s Day Stall and other events and fundraisers were discussed. There was low attendance, it would be nice to see more families attending the meetings and offering to help with planning fundraisers or events. If you can't attend meetings but can help out in other ways, please make contact with us. When tasks are shared it is less time consuming for individuals and greater outcomes are achieved.
The P&F has booked a coffee van to come to school on the morning of the Book Week Parade, we hope families will enjoy this opportunity to get a hot drink prior to the parades.
See the ‘Event and Fundraising Information’ below for more information about upcoming events.
We are looking forward to a great night at our Parents Social Night tomorrow night at Bicaro’s Ristorante'. If you haven't bought a ticket but would like to come along please contact us as soon as possible.
Bianca and Jacklyn

Event and Fundraising Information
Fathers Day Stall
As in previous years the P&F is planning to organise a Father’s Day Stall to give gift options to the children to purchase for someone special in their lives on Father’s Day.
This is also a fundraiser for the school.
This year Father’s Day is on Sunday, 4th September. To have gifts ready to give on Father’s Day we are working on the below timeline:
Orders open: Tuesday, 16th August 2022
Orders due: Tuesday, 30th August 2022
Orders distributed: Thursday, 1st September 2022
Helpers needed!
For the Father’s Day Stall to go ahead we require assistance to coordinate products for the Stall, pick up products and pack orders.
If you have any ideas of products we could include in the Stall or are able to assist with this event please contact parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.catholic.edu.au.
Book Week Dress Up Day
Friday - 26th August 2022
The P&F has booked a coffee van to come to school on the day of the Book Week Dress Up Parade for parents/guardians to get a coffee prior to the costume parades.
Golf Day
The P&F is hoping to hold a Golf Day aimed at inviting males from the school community to socialise in a fun and relaxed environment.
This will be a fun day if you are an experienced golfer or not, with prizes on offer and lunch at the end of the morning. Any funds raised will also go towards purchasing supplies for the students.
Helpers needed!
This is the first time the P&F have held an event like this and to organise the day we need volunteers to assist in booking the venue, coordinating the competition and seeking sponsorship for prizes.
If you have any ideas for the day or are able to assist with this event please contact parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.catholic.edu.au.
