Hello Everyone,

The P&F committee met last week and although we are unable to confirm dates for events due to
restrictions, we are hoping to have some community events in term 4. Please stay tuned.

One P&F project that will go ahead is the Annual Christmas Raffle, we will be seeking sponsors and
donations in term 4 for this major fundraiser for the school. Please let us know if you can help.

We are scheduled to host the Bunnings BBQ Saturday the 2nd of October (subject to the lockdown
lifting) – please put this in your diary to lend a hand for a couple of hours, a sign-up form will go out
via Operoo this week. Thanks to Suzanne Currie for coordinating this.

Our recent Father’s Day Stall raised $160.00 towards our fundraising goal to purchase a new smart
TV for the learning hub. Thanks again to Abbey Walters for coordinating this – the gifts were
wonderful.

Restrictions permitting, the Dad’s Night Out will be scheduled as soon as venues are available.

We are disappointed that the Music Trivia Night will again be postponed – the organizing committee
are determined to have it this year and will advise of a date as soon as restrictions allow.

We are seeking additional members for the P&F for next year, including class reps for each class.

I will be standing down from the co-ordination role at the end of the year after two years in the role.
I am hoping to hand over to the new coordinator in Term 4. The main function of the role is to chair
meetings and be the liaison between the committee and Lynda, to collaborate about events and
goals for the committee and how we can support the school. Please let me know if you are
interested in the role.

The responsibility and time commitment of the role have been greatly reduced by creating a
committee and sub-committees for all events. A plan for all events/fundraisers for next year will be
created by the end of this year and we are developing ‘how to run’ documents for all events in the
hope this will enable more families to be involved in big and small ways next year.

We as a P&F are, as always, very grateful to the ST Catherine’s staff for guiding us through the home
learning journey this term and the huge effort they have put in. We hope you all have a wonderful,
well deserved holiday break.

We are very hopeful the new term will see our children back at school and our community able to
come together. In the meantime, stay safe and well and enjoy the school holidays.

Please take care and reach out to us if we can support you in any way.
