P&F News
Hi everyone,
You can read all about what we have going on below.
P&F AGM...
Thank you so much to all the amazing people who came along to our P&F AGM. We had such a lovely turn out. A warm welcome to all the wonderful ladies who have kindly volunteered to join the committee and support our school.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jacinta and I will be returning as president in 2021. Also joining the team in 2021 we have Chelsie Clinton (Vice President), Rachael Asbury (Secretary), Julie Quirk (Treasurer) and Beck Lord (Purchasing Officer) rounding out the executive committee. On the General Committee we are joined by Hayley Boyes, Julie Hays, Annika Loci, Tara Hickman, Ruth Scott, Erin Davies, Meagan Van Den Helm, Jess Turnbull, Brooke Zammit and Michelle Tapper.
We look forward to a wonderful and exciting year ahead! Anyone can join the committee at any stage throughout the year, so just shout out if you'd like to come join the fun!
Christmas Pop Up Stall...
Christmas is coming to RHPS!
On Friday 27th November, the P&F team will be hosting a Christmas Pop Up Stall.
It will be a stall for children to attend, in a similar style to the Mother's Day/Father's Day stalls. There will be small gifts that children can purchase for family or friends. There will also be some items for sale that the children might like to wear to the Christmas Dress up day. The gifts will range in price from $1 to $6.
If we are allowed helpers on the day, we will use the sign up system on MySchool Connect, we will let you know.
DURING THE DAY
Children are invited to bring some money along to school to spend at the stall. All children need to bring their own bag to put their bought items in – an old shopping bag or plastic bag is fine. During the day on Friday, all grades will visit the stall with their classroom teachers in their allocated time.
AFTER SCHOOL
The stall will also be open from 3:30 - 4pm outside the library for families to make any further purchases. We have a few left over Christmas trees left we will be selling ($15 each) and some other interesting little Christmas gifts!
CHRISTMAS THEMED DRESS UP DAY
On Tuesday 1st December, children and Teachers are invited to wear a touch of Christmas to school. This might be a Christmas tee shirt or a Santa hat! The children can wear items they have purchased at the stall.
Christmas Donations...
After a difficult year, we thought it would be nice to support the community and do a Christmas Food Drive.
We will be donating our items to the Nourish Network in Mooroolbark again as it's so easily accessible by local families. We hope that this directly supports any RHPS families that might be in need this Christmas time.
If your family needs a little support this Christmas, the Nourish Network are able to help. Please message the Nourish Network Facebook page for a chat. Or, email lisa@ripplekindness.org
We are kindly asking for donations of non perishable food items and also pet food. You can donate other Supermarket items that struggling families might appreciate too. No toys please, if you'd like to give something special, a small voucher is a great option. Christmas themed foods and items would be fantastic as Nourish Network will create Christmas Hampers.
All donations can be added to the box at the front office before Monday 7th December.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
