P&C News
Hi Families,
A massive thank you to all the families, friends and community who purchased Pies and Lamingtons through our drive.
It was brought to our attention once the drive had closed that the decription of the lamingtons on QKR was incorrect. The lamingtons are not jam filled and as per previous drives have never been filled. We apologise for the incorrect description.
726 pies and sweet pies where purchased, along with 335 lamington orders.
A reminder to collect your pies will be sent out closer to the pick up allocated date.
Please keep your eyes peeled for what our next fundraiser will be as we have a couple of new ones coming your way.
The Resilience Project – Family Journals
This year our school has been participating in “The Resilience Project”. The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs to schools, sports clubs and businesses, providing practical, evidence-based mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness. Through presentations, school curriculum, events, the TRP App, and Wellbeing Journals, they share the benefits of Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness, and easy ways to practise these in everyday life. The RP team also incorporate Emotional Literacy, Connection and Physical Health education and activities as they are foundational contributors to positive mental health.
The P&C supports this program and to show our support the P&C purchased a Family Wellbeing Journal for each family (given to the eldest in the family) so the children can fill them with daily reflections, questions and practical activities designed for the whole family. Catered for adults and children of all ages, this journal is a great way to build happiness and resilience in your household.
Each Journal Features:
- 10 weeks of daily reflections, questions and practical activities
- Focus on gratitude, empathy and mindfulness to improve everyone’s mental health
- Daily Healthy Family Habits tracker to monitor our sleep, exercise and eating
- Weekend activity library with over 30 activities suitable for a variety of age groups

Journals will be sent home on Friday 26th July 2024.
