Hello everyone,

With only a few weeks left until the end of the year I would like to express my gratitude to the P&F committee this year. Thank you all for your optimism, time and support. While we have a wonderful core committee need more general members next year to make light work of all tasks and a class representative for each class. As I am stepping down as the Chair of the committee, we also need a volunteer to do this role. Please speak to me or Lynda O’Donnell if you feel you can take on this role, which takes around an hour a week (a little more when organising a big event).

Thank you too, to the St Catherine’s staff team who have been a wonderful support for all of us this year. The P&F are providing morning tea on the Staff Planning day this Friday as a small token of our thanks.

The Christmas Raffle is being finalised and we have some wonderful prizes. Thanks to Bunnings, Lazy Gramps, Body Fit Training Cheltenham, Rosa Mexicana and Melbourne Museums for supporting us. Thanks too, to the families that have donated wine, chocolates, games and tickets. Raffle tickets will be $2 each and will be sent home this week with the eldest child in each family. If you would like extra tickets they will be available at reception.
