Justine Hofman – Head of P&F

What a Term! I personally want to wish everyone a wonderful Pesach and may we all enjoy the comfort in our tradition of gathering around a table and storytelling with family, friends and people we love.

Help save a life this Pesach

As many of you know, Toffee Folyton’s family is still seeking a donor match for brother Murray who has a rare blood cancer. Good news is that swab testing is now available to test for the Bone Marrow Donor Registry. While you are gathered together with 18-35 year old cousins and friends, it’s an opportunity to ask them to get tested.

There’s no blood involved in the test, it’s just a simple cheek swab. Swabs can be ordered here.

Second Hand Uniform Shuk at school
Don’t miss it!

Our second hand uniform sale on campus is going to be a cracker. We have collected so many good quality uniforms from Primary and High school families this week. It means our community can benefit while we get reasonably priced, pre-loved uniforms – while being environmentally friendly. Uniforms will be priced from $5.00 – $80.00.

The sale is on 1.00 pm – 5.30 pm, Monday 24 April 2023 (2 days before Term 2 starts) at the PAC.
Enter via the Stanley Street Gates.
