INSPIRING CURIOUS MINDS
As you know we’ve been consulting with the community about the future of Families and Friends, our Parent Club. In the last newsletter, I made a final call out for office bearers. Unfortunately, we had no nominations, due in part, we believe, to the busy lives that most of our families lead. I do know, however, that we are a strong community and that we will always find a way to come together to support our kids and one another. With that in mind, School Council have endorsed the motion for Families and Friends to go into recession for 2023. This allows our school to trial a new approach, which will mean we can share the load and ask for a commitment for a short project. The model looks like this:
*Term 4 is yet to be confirmed

MOTHER’S AND VIP’s BREAKFAST
We had a magnificent breakfast for our Mums and VIPS last Friday, project managed beautifully by Amanda McConaghy. I would like to thank Amanda for her organisation of a morning that brought smiles to Mums and VIPs across our community. Make sure you check out Amanda’s wrap up and photos from the day, in this newsletter.
Robert John Maguire AM RFD, commonly known as Father Bob, was an Australian Roman
Catholic priest and community worker from South Melbourne. When South Melbourne
Park Primary first opened in 2019, the community was grateful to have the Robo Bus visit the school to provide STEM lessons for our kids. This was provided by Father Bob and was a wonderful opportunity for our kids. On the passing of Father Bob on April, 19th, we would like to gratefully acknowledge his contribution to our community.
