PFA Uniform Shop and Second Hand Book Sale

The PFA would like to remind everyone that the Uniform Shop will not be open on Monday 4 December as all items will be available at the big 2nd Hand Uniform & Books Sale on Saturday 2 December, in the gym.

If you would like to sell any text books or unwanted items of uniform please come along to the sale and hire a table for just $10.  Payment for the table is payable at the door.   

The updated 2017 into 2018 book list can be found on the Nossal website at http://nossalhs.vic.edu.au/resources/booklist.

The sale is a very straight forward process. Simply set up your stall in the gym from 9:00am and the doors will open to buyers from 9.30am.  The sale closes at 12:00pm.   This is a very popular event so the advice is come early, as stock goes very quickly. (We usually get about 700 people there!)  

A furrther reminder too, if any Year 12's would like to donate their old uniforms to the PFA to sell, please leave them at the Office. All funds received from the sale of these items goes straight back to the school.

While the main focus of the day is on the sale of the 2nd hand school text books shown in the attached list and items of pre-owned uniform, you are most welcome to sell  outdated editions of books or story books too.

Annual Working Bee

We would also like to remind everyone that the school will hold its Annual Working Bee on the same day as the 2nd Hand Uniform and Book Sale.  The Working Bee will take place from 9:00am and end at 1:00pm.  Please come along and help for whatever time you can spare.  On the day we will be doing jobs such as:

• a range of garden tasks; eg: weeding, pruning and spreading mulch in preparation of the hot weather
• tidying up along the boundary with neighbouring factories and also along the new fence line opposite the Insight School
• removing surplus wire offcuts from the same boundary fence
• painting the Library Courtyard seating and cleaning the glass wall in the same area
• rejuvenating the herb garden

There will be a range of things to attend to to improve the school for all of our students. 

We would appreciate it if people could bring with them any shovels, rakes and other small tools they think might be of assistance.  Also people with trailers would be of great help especially in the shifting of mulch from the central pile to gardens around the site. 

Please note:  All volunteers will be required to report to the Registration Point to sign in to the activity so that the school can maintain its very good OHS compliance rating with DET. 

The PFA will be  at the Working Bee handing out tea and coffee to keep you all refreshed and there will be tasty toasties and Krispie Kreme donuts to buy as well.  We look forward to seeing you there because remember... "many hands make light work!"
