PTA News
Senior Athletics Day is next Tuesday 8th November. This is an all day event held at the school so we as a PTA take the opportunity to run a food stall as a fundraiser where we sell sausages $2, juicies $2, and baking ($1- $2) for all the school. Our plea for help is two-fold, can we have helpers manning the stall and barbeque (as we all want to watch our kids) and we need baking to sell. Any contributions from across the school community would be gratefully received as usual, and could these be dropped into the school office first thing Tuesday. If you are available to volunteer to help with events in the future and would like to be included in the WhatsApp group for volunteers could you let me know your name and phone number so we can advise you of events coming up and see whether you would be available to help.
Other news; I have signed our school up for the Yummy Fruit Company Sticker programme in answer to a parent request for some varied sports equipment they saw at this year’s AIMS games. They give schools an amount to spend on sports equipment depending on how many sticker or collection sheets have been completed. If we start now we should have heaps (hopefully) by next September which is when they do their allocation. I have attached the sheets and I hope they are self-explanatory. More sheets will be sent home with the oldest child tomorrow to share with friends and family. Basically keep any Yummy stickers you find on fruit or the cut-out labels from bags of fruit. When a sheet is filled in hand it in to Christine at the office and start again. Yummy fruit is sold at Pak’n’Save, New World and some fruit shops. Don’t go out of your way to buy it, but if you are buying it already collect the stickers! Please hand sheets on to grandparents or other family members also.
Kind regards,
