Agenda + Minutes from October Meeting

Halloween Carnival Thank You

Halloween Carnival was a fun day for all. The different format worked brilliantly in the lower playground, with glorious weather! The Carnival and Silent Auction raised $10,000 which means PTA met its fundraising goals for the year!

Your fundraising support allows the PTA to continue to support our wonderful school staff in providing opportunities for students.

Please come along to our next PTA meeting to help influence how this money is spent in the school! Next meeting Monday November 4th at 12.10pm

Halloween Carnival is Tomorrow

Join us for lots of spooktacular fun, tasty treats and bid on some amazing auction items. We have a live silent auction tomorrow for the kids, with kid themed baskets including unicorns, STEAM, Superheros, Harry Potter, Disney and more, amazing book buckets and our ever popular teacher experiences. Where else could you bid on a party with Mr Favorite doing the entertainment, have pizza with a Police Officer or lunch at a Fire Station, or be Principal for a day?! There are so many other fun things too. Come along and visit us and take part in the fun!
