P&C News
Hi everyone! Well, we’re officially halfway through Term 4 and things are really ramping up! If you have a grade sixer then you’re probably starting to prepare for their departure on Sunday. We were very pleased to be able to subsidise the bus costs to Seaforth and back to keep this wonderful experience affordable for families.
Did you see the photos of the Robotics teams that represented our school on Saturday at the First Lego League Gladstone Regional Competition? They looked so smart and professional in their P&C sponsored representative shirts. We are so proud of them all for what they achieved and all the hard work they put in! A big congratulations to Team DaVinci’s for taking home the Motivation Award!! And a big thank you to the coaches for all their hard work and for all of their own time they put into the FLL program this year.
As the cost of everything increases significantly, so do the costs associated with providing educational ventures for our students to compliment classroom learning and curriculum. We strive to subsidise costs for such opportunities as much as possible to keep the struggle for families to a minimum. This isn’t possible without our fundraising efforts.
Our final fundraiser for this year is our Christmas raffle. Tickets are on sale now and will be drawn at the end of Week 9. We would love your support so we can continue supporting all our wonderful students. Check out our Facebook page and the advertisement in this newsletter for all the details. If you wish to support us with some of your spare time (even only a small amount of time helps the team immensely!); please check out the dates that we have booked for pop-up stalls to sell our tickets to the wider community too. If you would like to volunteer please send us an email on the details below.
If you have a grade fiver, hopefully you have seen the 2024 senior shirt order form?! Please ensure your orders are placed via QKR before COB Wednesday November 22nd. This is a one time only order due to the hefty shipping costs.
Our next and final P&C meeting for this year is next Tuesday November 14th at 5pm in the Admin building. Just because it’s our last one, doesn’t mean there aren’t still important decisions and plans being made. We would love to see you there! If you can’t make it but have something to say all the same, please feel free to send us an email on: communication.calliopess@gmail.com for our Communication Officer or pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au for our Executive team.
Warm regards,
Heidi, Geoff, Angela and Lisa.
