Justine Hofman – Head of P&F

This term has started with a bang. So much on including lots of meet ups with families and kids. This week Friday Chills starts up again. We also launch ticket sales for our Autumn Family Camping on Sunday night.

Friday Chills
3.15 pm Fridays (starts today!)

It’s back for Term 1 and happening every Friday after school. Join us on the Basketball Courts for $1.00 icy poles and catch up with other parents while the kids play (and run off their sugar high). Want to help? We need volunteers to sell icy poles. Please email Melanie Shilbury if you are available. It’s only 30 minutes of your time, it’s a lot of fun and your kids will love you for it!

P&F Autumn Family Camping 
Friday 10 March 2023 – Saturday 12 March 2023  
Tickets go live this Sunday

We are excited to announce that our P&F Autumn Family Camping Weekend will be held once again at Glenworth Valley camping ground. It’s a 90 minute drive from Randwick and we will have a dedicated area for our school group. The site is beautiful, situated within stunning natural bush and scenery. Facilities include toilet, hot showers and a small onsite shop and café with barista made coffee.

Inviting new campers to join (Glamping option) 
If you haven’t considered camping in the past because you don’t have the gear or the idea is overwhelming – there is the option of glamping which is easy and fun. Note that glamping is an additional cost/booking that can be arranged directly with Glenworth Valley’s preferred suppliers, once you have booked your Emanuel camping ticket.

Full details and the booking link will be shared on Sunday night via What’s App groups.
