P & C HAPPENINGS P&C - Spring Fair Update

A big thanks to each and every family that baked, contributed and assisted in

serving, setting up/packing away at the Spring fair.

Please also pass on thanks to other family

members who baked for us, I know many

grandparents contributed which is greatly

appreciated.

We had a successful day with our total profit

coming in at just under $1200.

All funds raised go directly back into our

school and is spent on reducing costs on

excursions and making it affordable for families or on resources for the children to

utilise to learn.

All decisions on how funds are spent are discussed and agreed upon during P&C

meetings feel free to come along or put suggestions forward if you have any great

new ideas.

Lastly another big thanks to Seth and Lu + others who contributed to the white

elephant stall they donated a lot of their belongings to assist our great school.
