Trivia Night - such a success!!

Trivia Night – Friday 21st June

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this night such a success. If you donated or wrapped hampers, setup or swept up, everybody’s contribution is greatly appreciated and shines a light on this great school community. A special thank you to Frances who used her creative touch to turn a bland hall into a sparkly party hall.

 

Stats for the night – we had:

  • 160 participants,
  • 81 silent auction items,
  • 80 trivia questions,
  • an awesome holiday raffle prize (thanks Holmes family),
  • a fashion parade and
  • an entertaining display of vocal skills!

All of which went toward raising just under $9000 dollars for the night. AMAZING!!! 

 

Mrs Kechayas (and her sidekick DJ Mr Kechayas) had us thinking, scratching our heads, arguing (and checking Google for clarification) and even at times, LEARNING!! But most of all – we laughed and had a very entertaining night out with friends!

 

And that is all I can say about the night, because………. ‘What happens at Trivia Night, stays at Trivia Night!’

 

But what happened to the ELEPHANT??

You will be pleased to know the elephant that called the office foyer ‘home’ for 2 weeks, now has a new home! A competitive and entertaining battle took place to win over the elephant. Sometimes the bidding sheet ‘disappeared’, sometimes the elephant ‘disappeared’. But in the end, Ali from the Office won and ‘Monty’ the elephant is now very happy in its new home.

 

Here he is playing Twister with Ali’s grandchildren!

 

Raffle

Congratulation to Martin Stronge for winning the raffle. A huge thank you to the Holmes family for generously donating their beautiful country retreat ‘Loch Paper Scissors’ for us to use as a raffle prize. If you are interested in having a retreat yourself, please visit https://www.lochpaperscissors.com.au/

 

Fundraising so far

It has been a very busy and productive two Terms for Parents & Friends. We have raised over $18,000 so far this year through a variety of social and fundraising activities. There is still more to do so if you would like to get involved, please come along and join us for a cuppa at a meeting next term.

 

Next P&F meeting will be held on Monday 22nd July, after assembly (to plan for Fathers day activities)!

Enjoy your winter break.
