Parents & Friends (PFA)
Welcome!
Thank you so much for all those who braved the weather and turned out at the picnic last Friday. It was a most enjoyable night for all and it was great to see the staff in the mix of new and old faces. Our kids certainly enjoyed the puddles! Thank you also to all who helped pack up and clean up, it's always a team effort and we are pleased to see there were many hands lending a hand.
We are still looking for volunteers to fulfill the positions of Class Liaison Officers for Prep, 1/2JB, 3/4LC, and 5/6MN. Remember you don't have to do all the work, you have a whole class room of adult helpers to call on but you must have a current Working With Children's Check. Contact us if you are interested to know more about what the job entails.

Some key dates to ensure you’ve got locked away while you eagerly await the arrival of the calendar are:
- Working Bee #1: Sunday 15th March
- Dad’s Day Out #1: Saturday 21st March
- Ladies Lunch: Saturday 28th March
Cheers,
Troy & Scott
ICY POLES
Icy poles are for sale this term on Wednesday lunchtime only (they will return in Term Four).
They remain at 50 cents each with one to be sold per child. Don't forget to send your coins to school on Wednesdays if your child would like a sweet treat. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us on pfa@santglen.catholic.edu.au
FOOD BANK
Sometimes families at our school may go through difficult times - dealing with an illness, a new baby or other circumstances - and may need help with meals. We are looking for volunteers to go on a contact list who can help prepare a meal when required.
Meals can be simple and can be either something to use straight away or freezeable.
You will be provided with instructions and Food Safety guidelines and can collect disposable food containers from the school office, if required.
All meal requests are organised through the school office, so confidentiality can be maintained.
If your family or a family you know, would benefit from the Food Bank, please contact the school office.
If you would like to join the food bank contact list, please contact Bianca (Aiden’s mum) as soon as possible on biancadunn@yahoo.com.au or phone 0418 593 413
SICK BAY LINEN ROSTER
To help maintain the school’s Sick Bay, St Anthony’s depends on the generosity of volunteers to help launder the bed linen, on a weekly roster.
This task requires swapping the used linen with clean linen (located in the Sick Bay) on a Thursday or Friday, taking home the used linen to wash and returning the clean linen the following week. Usually it is a pillow case, a single doona cover and a fitted sheet.
If you would like to join the linen roster, please contact Bianca (Aiden’s mum) as soon as possible on biancadunn@yahoo.com.au or phone 0418 593 413
SECOND HAND UNIFORM SHOP
I am looking for helpers to assist in the selling of second hand uniforms. There is no purchasing required as all items are second hand. Please come and see me to discuss what is involved on either the first or third Thursday of the month when the uniform shop is open.
A reminder also that we have some new items for sale; pants and shorts, which we are selling at less than half price, they retail at $30 approx and we are selling them at $10. Various sizes available. All other items are still only $2 with the summer dress only $5.
Thank you
Natalya (Ilya's mum)
