P&C NEWS
Next meeting - Tues 17th June, 7pm
All are welcome to come along and learn about what's happening, provide input and enjoy some snacks, wine & beers. We meet in The Hive, or you are welcome to join virtually via Teams (link to be shared closer to the date). Whilst we have a core group that attend regularly, we'd love to see some fresh faces, hear new ideas and meet new people.
Mother's & Special Person's Stall - Thank you & results
A very big thank you to Leah Holt who led the team of volunteers - Erica Brown, Katrina Meynink and Jane Knox. These ladies put in countless hours preparing, buying stock & ensuring the stall ran smoothly on the day. They have been doing this for a number of years and we are so very grateful for their enthusiasm & efforts here.
Another big thank you to those parents that donated gifts with a special shout out to Ivana Lowrey, Jen Crosbie from Thousand Island Dressing and Nicky Priede from Cherish Beauty.
Thank you finally to the stallholder volunteers who helped make the day possible for our students to buy these gifts, and to everyone that participated by sending their children along with money for the day. We hope you enjoyed your gifts too!
This stall raised just over $4,000 which is an outstanding effort!
Ladies Day - Thank you & results
A huge thank you to both Alisha McCarthy and Karen Aurisch, who both organised the day, secured raffle prizes & lucky door prizes. They worked behind the scenes tirelessly to create a fabulous event for the 2nd year running, and it was such a hit (with a shout-out to the lucky door prize bracelets!!)
We also would like to thank the parents that donated items from their businesses for the raffle, with a special shout out to Jen Crosbie, Yolanda Ferguson, Larisa Tait & Olivia Haupt.
Thank you to everyone that came along and enjoyed themselves, and to everyone that purchased raffle tickets!
Across the day including the raffle, we raised just shy of $7,000 which is an amazing effort!
