Hello everyone! Last night we had our final P&C meeting for this year. Even though the school year is winding up, the work to continue to improve our wonderful school for each and every student certainly doesn’t end. We had extensive discussions around planning for 2024 last night. From uniform policies and tuckshop procedures to Community grants and operational planning. All P&C memberships and positions held carry right through til next year’s AGM. So, if you have any thoughts or ideas, don’t sit on them just because we’re nearing the end of Term 4; pop us an email on; communication.calliopess@gmail.com for our Communication Officer or pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au for our Executive team.

Tuckshop days for Week 10 will be Tuesday and Wednesday only. The Tuckshop will not be open for Break up and clean up days. When you order tuckshop, can we encourage you to let your child/ren know that they are receiving tuckshop on that day? And also to please remind your children to collect their orders through lunch time and not at the end of break as they head back to class. It is often not feasible for students to eat their lunch through class time. Thank you for your cooperation in helping getting hungry bellies fed.

Are you attending one of the Prep open afternoons? Or know someone who is? Our uniform shop volunteers will be there with uniforms for your Preppie-to-be to try on and for purchases.

Families of Year 5 students have one more week to place their orders for 2024 Senior shirts. Please ensure your orders are placed via QKR before COB Wednesday November 22^nd. We don’t want anyone missing out and this is a one time only order due to the hefty shipping costs.

Have you got your tickets in our Christmas raffle yet?. 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 above.

Warm regards,

Heidi, Geoff, Angela and Lisa.
