Justine Hofman – Head of P&F

We finally hit the finish line of the longest term ever (at least it feels that way) and I would like to  thank all the parents who have contributed to our community over past weeks. Almost 40 of you who have volunteered and just as many have signed up to volunteer for next term.  

We’ve got an exciting Term 2 planned so please read below as we reveal details of our Mother’s Day festivities.

Book Now –  Mother’s Day Morning
Retro Schvitz Aerobics, Coffee & Pastry

Let’s get physical together while we schvitz, laugh, dance and sing along to an 80s inspired aerobics class for all ages. Throughout the morning there will (of course) be coffee flowing, pastries and time for long-overdue catch ups with other mums, grand-mums and special friends.

Where: On campus in Waxman forecourt (enter via Stanley Street gate)
When: Friday 6 May 2022
Time: 7.15 am – 8.30 am (aerobics kicks off at 7.40 am)

Tickets

Advance tickets: Adult $15.00, Child $6.00 
On the day: Adult $20.00, Child $10.00

Adults must show proof of vaccination and wear masks.

A Mother’s Day Stall with a difference for Years 5 and 6

This year, alongside the beautiful, pampering $10.00 gifts at the Mother’s Day stall for Years K-6, we are excited about trialling a new initiative for Years 5 and 6.

Every child in Years 5 and 6 has a choice. Select a $10.00 for a physical gift at the stall or use your $10.00 to opt in to an initiative where mum receives a (smaller) gift with the bulk of the money donated to mums at Women Up North shelter. Children selecting this option will also be provided with a donation certificate to give to mum. All of this is entirely optional. 

If you and your kids love the idea as much as we hope you will, next year it may open up to younger Primary kids. For now, we thought it would be better understood by the older years. We will provide more information on this first week back but just wanted to give you the heads up.

With thanks, Lynn Ross and Carli Rothman – Mother’s Day Stall organisers.
