Thank you to our Parents and Friends

A very big thank you to our P & F and all their efforts to organise the Trivia Night for our school families and to raise funds for our school. Both before and after the event there has been such a buzz around our school and a great night was had by all. It takes quite a team to ensure an event like this goes well. Thank you to the parents who collected and sorted donations, picked up and returned tables, organised the bar, decorated tables, cleaned up, etc. Thanks also to Laura Bailey in our school office for supporting the P & F, by counting all the money raised! This event raised significant funds for our school and just as importantly provided a social opportunity for our school community to have fun and build connections with each other.

Special thanks to our parents:

Emma Bugg

Karen Glancy

Matt Casey

Anna Sloan
