P & F News 

We did it! We SUCCESSFULLY ran the St. Fidelis' Community Day and what a magical day it was! We should all be so proud of our school community, the feedback received on the day was SO POSITIVE. The day was filled with an overall positive vibe, lots of smiling and laughing children and best of all such a supportive immediate and extended community.

THANK YOU first and foremost to the AMAZING P&F members who put in countless hours planning, setting up and running this event. All the hours of hard work paid off, and I am sure the community of St. Fidelis is so proud of you!

THANK YOU to all the staff and parents who assisted in the lead up to the event and for volunteering your time at the event. As Manuela continually quotes ‘Many hands make for lighter work’ AND many hands we had. Your assistance does not go unnoticed, and we are very grateful for your support.

THANK YOU to the ThierCare Staff and our lovely St. Fidelis' Parishioners who also took time out of their Sunday to assist at the event. It’s so wonderful that we can count on each other in times of need.

THANK YOU to all our wonderful stall holders and local businesses who attended and sold their goods/products/services at the Community Day. Your presence added to the overall positive experience of the day, and allowed for many HAPPY CUSTOMERS.

An especially HUGE THANK YOU to these businesses and stalls - ‘The Village Bakery’ (Anastasia & Damian Spyrou), ‘Clara and Madalene’s (FUNtastic things), the ‘3D printer stall’, ‘Bunnings potted plant stall’, ‘The sustainability Stall’ and to ‘Sandra & Jimmy Joson (fruit stall)’ who kindly donated ALL PRODUCTS and/or MADE PROFIT directly to St. Fidelis. This accounted for a huge amount of raised funds for the children of St. Fidelis, who will surely benefit from your kindness and generosity. 

And last, but not least, THANK YOU to all the families who attended the St. Fidelis' Community Day event, for bringing your family and friends along and for adding to the overall wonderful experience that the day turned out to be.

Please note that in next week’s newsletter, an announcement will be made regarding the total funds raised!

Families will be receiving a raffle booklet with 20 tickets @$1 each to sell for our upcoming Easter Raffle. Like every year, we ask that all families donate ONE PRODUCT to use in our Easter Hampers. We ask that the items donated are non-perishable. Some ideas could include easter themed crafts, toys, books, homewares, etc. wine or candles are also a great contribution. Of course though, we would be happy with as little or as much every family could donate. We will be collecting donations up and to the 31st March. If all donations could be sent with your child and passed on to their classroom teacher this would be greatly appreciated. The Easter raffle will be drawn on TUESDAY 4th APRIL! Thank you.
