P&C News
Greetings to all members of our vibrant P&C community! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us for the last meeting. Your presence and active participation truly exemplify the strength and unity of our community. Together, we continue to make a positive impact on our school, our children's education, and their overall experience.
A warm welcome goes out to our two new members who have recently joined our P&C family. We are excited to have you on board and look forward to collaborating with you as we work towards enhancing our school community.
Katherine and I had the pleasure of attending the Prep Information Session. It was a heartwarming occasion where we had the pleasure of meeting new families and guiding them through the exciting journey of choosing uniforms for their little ones. It's wonderful to witness the enthusiasm of our new parents as they embark on this important chapter in their children's lives.
A Successful Leap Forward with Grants and Upgrades
It brings us immense joy to announce that our persistent efforts have borne fruit. We are thrilled to inform you that Elise secured a grant from Pine Rivers Community Finance that allowed us to replace the tuckshop's aging grill. This achievement reflects our commitment to ensuring the best facilities for our students, staff, and volunteers. The new grill press not only enhances efficiency in the tuckshop but also emphasizes our dedication to maintaining high standards in all aspects of our school environment.
In our continuous pursuit of improvement, we have also managed to procure new equipment for the tuckshop, phasing out outdated items and streamlining operations.
Generosity that Makes a Difference
We are incredibly proud to announce that, thanks to your unwavering support and involvement in our fundraising activities, we have been able to contribute $13,050 to the school for a significant upgrade in technology equipment in the Junior School. This investment will undoubtedly pave the way for enhanced learning experiences and enable our students to engage with the latest tools and resources. It's a testament to our community's collective belief in the power of education and our commitment to creating an environment where students can thrive.

A Celebration of Fatherhood
As the calendar turns towards September, we eagerly prepare to celebrate our fathers and father figures. The Father's Day Stall is just around the corner (Tuesday 29th August) and it promises to be a fun occasion filled with joy, appreciation, and thoughtful gifts.
The Father's Day Stall is a lovely opportunity for us to come together and honor the incredible Fathers and Father figures in our lives. It's a chance to show gratitude for their unwavering support, love, and guidance. Whether it's a Dad, Stepdad, Grandpa, Uncle, or Family Friend, this event recognizes their significant contributions and allows our students to express their love in meaningful ways.
Curated Selection of Gifts
Our dedicated fundraising team has been hard at work curating a fantastic array of gifts that students can choose from. With prices ranging from $1 to $15, there's something for everyone, ensuring that all students can participate and find a special token of appreciation. Much like the beloved gift packs featured at the Mother's Day stall, these offerings are bound to bring smiles and create lasting memories. Here is a sneak peak at just 3 of the gifts packs that will be on offer.
What to Expect
On the day of the stall, students will need to bring cash and a bag to hold their chosen gifts. The stall will be set up to welcome each class and teacher throughout the day. This arrangement ensures that all students can have the opportunity to visit the stall, browse the selection, and make their choices at their own pace. It's a chance for them to independently select something heartfelt and meaningful to gift to their special father figure.

As we gear up for the Father's Day Raffle and the Father's Day Stall, we encourage you to get involved in these exciting events. Your participation, whether as a volunteer or a contributor, plays a pivotal role in making these initiatives successful.
