The Gift of Giving

Justine Hofman – Head of P&F

It’s hard to believe we only have a few short weeks to go until we wrap up the 2022 school year and that we are all going to be together for Aladdin over the next few days!

As we race towards summer holidays, there are a few P&F related things to note:

End of Year Primary Staff Gifts 
Group collection closes Monday 21 November 2022

As is a tradition at the school, each year the P&F offers Primary School families the opportunity to contribute to a group collection for end-of-year gifts for Emanuel Primary staff.

It’s a lovely way to thank class teachers, specialist teachers and support staff for all their hard work and dedication through the year. This collection is completely optional and is offered as a convenient way for families to show appreciation to staff.

The gift provided is a Westfield voucher, which teachers welcome, as it enables them to buy something substantial, and of their own choosing. It makes things easy for parents as all your staff gifts are organised for you. And of course, environmentally it’s a win with less waste.

For full information, refer to the email sent to you on Wednesday 2 November 2022. Links to the group collections can be found in your year level’s ‘Official’ WhatsApp group.

P&F Term 4 General Meeting – Monday 28 November 2022 at 7.00 pm

We are going to close off the year with our P&F General Meeting. It’s a meeting where class parents and committee heads will provide update reports, along with Head of Primary, Tany Milner. All are welcome. If you would like to join, please email me on Justine.hofman@gmail.com. We will determine whether it is by Zoom or at School closer to the date.
