Parent's Association

Parents Association Update:
Welcome back to Term 4. We hope you had a nice break, and are ready for one more term before our year is over. We want to say thank you for the last three terms. Despite our lockdown and restrictions, we have had some great fundraisers, and so far the school has raised over $10,000, including the Silent Auction/Raffle which raised over $3613. We thank you for all your support, and your help to be able to raise that money. It all goes back to the school, and our kids. We all have done this together.
We have a few more fundraisers before the year end which we hope you will participate in. Again, all fundraisers are optional, and if it is not for your family, it is ok to not to participate.
Sunscreen Fundraiser - see details below
Coin Wars - Sometime in Nov
Xmas Carols Event - Dec 9th - If restrictions allow
Sunscreen Fundraiser 2021
The Marlborough Parent's Association is running a Sunscreen Fundraiser for Term 4 2021 - just in time for Summer! We have partnered with Sunsational Suncare to deliver a range of SPF 50+ Sunscreen, After Sun Care, Insect Repellent and Hand Sanitiser that can be purchased through Marlborough Primary School. The profits of this fundraiser will go towards the Playground Renewal Project.
Items can be ordered by completing the attached order form and sending payment via Trybooking link or EFT to the School (details are in the attached).
Last day for order forms is Friday 15th October 2021. Items will be delivered to the school in weeks 4 or 5 (pending restrictions). Collection details will be communicated closer to the delivery date.
If you have any questions please contact Erin Vistarini on 0414889153 or email marlborough.ps.pa@gmail.com.
Casserole and Food Bank
This has been a long standing initiative run by the Marlborough PA to provide meals or groceries to families who are in need of a few extra groceries or to support families who are going through a tough time. We are currently short on personal items such as laundry powder, tissues, cleaning products, personal hygeine etc. We are also short on home cooked meals. If you are interested in donating anything to our Casserole & Food bank, please contact Kirsty on 0425114866.
If you would like to drop off any meals at school during lockdown, please call the school on 9870 3468 to arrange a drop off.
Once school is back to on site learning, meals can be dropped off at the office- just remember to sign in using the QR code.
Thank you as always for your support. These meals really do make a difference.
Contact Kirsty on 0425114866. If you are a family or know of a family who could benefit from the casserole bank, please do not hesitate to contact either Kirsty or Neil Butler. ⭐️

Once we hit Nov 5th, we should be able to advise you what is happening for all those families who bought tickets to Space Jam Movie night. We thank you for your patience as we work around the changes and restrictions.
