Coffee Barn Fundraiser Saturday 30th May
The Coffee Barn at Marriott Waters are kindly dedicating an entire day to raise money for Lyndhurst Primary School.
On Saturday 30th May, 5% of proceeds taken will go to the school. Book for lunch or dinner, or grab a coffee. Enjoy the entertainment of ‘The Kartoon Duo’ performing during the evening.
Every bit counts towards raising funds for your school!
Walkathon & Trivia Night Fundraisers
The PFA are working hard on planning for our major fundraiser, the Annual School Walkathon which is to be held on Friday 23rd October this year.
We are also planning the first Lyndhurst Primary School Trivia Night, which will be on Friday 28th August. Keep the night free, as we would love to see as many parents & friends as possible for this event.
We are seeking donations for both of these fundraisers; if anyone in the school community can donate a prize or offer a service for auction please see the front office, or email the PFA at neilson.enza.e@edumail.vic.gov.au.
PFA Shopping Tour
The PFA have booked a Shopping Tour for Saturday 17th October. This was a fantastic day last year, with a bus trip to many shopping outlets around Melbourne.
Keep the day free, and $20 deposits for the tour are being taken now until mid June.
The Good Guys Cranbourne Cash Program
Lyndhurst Primary School is now a part of The Good Guys Cranbourne Cash Program. If you purchase an item at The Good Guys Cranbourne store, advise the salesperson that you would like ‘Cranbourne Cash’ to be allocated to Lyndhurst Primary School.
$1 from every $25 spent goes back to the school. Mention this to friends and family, as the more people who allocate the ‘cash’ to the school when they make a purchase, the more funds we raise.
Coffee Barn Bistro & Bar Rewards Card
Notices with a Coffee Barn Rewards Card were recently sent home. Keep this card with you and present it whenever you purchase food/drinks at the local Coffee Barn at Marriott Waters. 5% of total purchases will be given back to the school.
Quickbeds Accommodation & Booking Website
The PFA have signed up for a Fundraising Program known as Quickbeds. Quickbeds is an accommodation and booking website owned by the Flight Centre.
If you, or any friends and family are looking for Australian and New Zealand accommodation, head to www.quickbeds.com. They have a price beat guarantee.
If you decide to book through Quickbeds, use the Lyndhurst ID of 1346. Every booking made with this ID raises funds for the school.
School Banking with Bendigo Bank every Friday
Bendigo Bank will collect bank books from the school every Friday. Students can bring in their banking each week, and books will be returned by the end of the day.
For further details, or to open an account with Bendigo Bank please contact 03 9799 0344, email marriottwatersmailbox@bendigoadelaide.com.au or visit the branch at Marriott Waters Shopping Centre to speak to any of the friendly staff.
Fresh Fruit Fridays
Fresh Fruit Fridays will continue this term, with the proud support of Woolworths Marriott Waters. Each class receives a container of freshly cut fruit to share.
We are seeking parent helpers to cut up fruit. If you can help out every now and then, feel free to drop in to the staff room at 9.00 on a Friday morning. We would appreciate your assistance.
Second Hand Uniform Stall
The Second Hand Uniform Stall will be running regularly, on the 1st Tuesday of every month. The next stall will be held on Tuesday 2nd June from 8.30-9.00am and in the afternoon from 3.00-3.30 in the school gym.
If anyone has any uniforms they would like to donate to the school, please hand them to the office. All clothes must be clean, without holes and able to be worn.
Future Events
The PFA has many fundraising activities planned for the year. We have already raised $25,000 for a new playground, and our goal of $10,000 this year will raise the remaining funds needed for this important equipment. All children will benefit from our fundraising. We will be showing our progress towards our goal in each fortnightly newsletter, and would greatly appreciate your support in all of our fundraising efforts throughout the year.
The next PFA meeting will be held on Thursday 16th July 2015, and we would love to see new parents join us then.
All parents, guardians, grandparents and friends are welcome to attend our meetings and join the PFA. If you cannot attend meetings, yet would like to participate in our fundraising activities, we would love to hear from you. Our new email address is neilson.enza.e@edumail.vic.gov.au. Send us an emailor speak to the office staff who will put you in contact with a member of the committee.
We look forward to your support in 2015
