P&C NEWS 

Welcome to Week 2 of Term 4! The year is flying by and as we begin the run-up to end-of-year craziness, we would like to thank everyone who has been involved with the P and C so far. As a group of volunteers, we understand how difficult it is to find time for everyday life, let alone adding fundraising events to the calendar, so thank you for sparing some time to help us work towards providing funding for the children of our school.

P & C Meeting 

Next Meeting: Tonight - Tuesday, 11/10/2022, at 6 pm in the admin conference room. If you would like to add anything to the agenda or send apologies, please email pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au  All agenda items and apologies need to be received by 5pm prior to the meeting.

Calliope Rodeo Drinks Stall 

Thank you to all the volunteers who stepped up and helped at the drinks stall over the two days of the Rodeo!  It was a great success and we have been invited back again for their January 28^th event, keep your eyes peeled!!! We all had a great time and look forward to our next fundraiser. A massive thank you to our past students, Ava, Rhi and Tay for their help all weekend.

Tuckshop News 

Our fabulous tuckshop convener, Miss Lisa, has been working hard as normal, filling hungry bellies this term. We would like to thank Miss Lisa and Miss Mel for their daily efforts and the amazing food you provide for our kids.

Miss Lisa can always use an extra set of hands or two each tuckshop day to make sure your kids get their food as quickly as possible at break times. If you’d like to lend a hand, please contact Miss Lisa via our Facebook page or pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au  

Parents are reminded that ice creams and ice blocks need to be collected from the tuckshop by the students with their paper bags. Without your help, the tuckshop will not be able to continue to run as it does. 

Taste Buds Fundraiser 

Taste buds are a variety of yummy spice blends, savoury salts & rubs and versatile mixes and the best part is you can order online, and they are delivered straight to your door. Remember to use the code Calliope at checkout to fundraise for your kids. Feel free to share the link with friends and family. More information on the Calliope State School P & C Facebook page or Visit https://tastebudsfundraising.com.au/?ref=Calliope 

Uniform Shop 

The Uniform shop is via appointment only; if you need to make an appointment, please email the uniform shop email address below. Otherwise, orders can be done on QKR. *Please note that orders can take up to 3 business days to fill after the day of order.* These items are then taken to the office, and the students are contacted to collect them. If you haven’t received your uniform order, please check, if it has been three days, that it’s not in your child’s school bag (we all have that one child :p ) and that it’s not in the classroom. Please remember if you have any concerns the admin ladies are probably unlikely to be able to solve them, contact us via our Facebook page or email uniformshop.calliopess@gmail.com   

Volunteer Reminder 

I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that we are volunteers, we are parents, we are employed by other organisations or companies and that unfortunately, although it would be amazing, we do not have endless hours in the day. Please when contacting us be patient, be polite and be kind. We know it may be frustrating not getting a response straight away however please understand you are not being ignored, we just may be busy and will get to it as soon as possible. If you would like to help lighten the load and volunteer, please reach out we would love to have you on board.  

Please don’t hesitate to stop us and say hi and ask questions.  

Your P&C Team, 

Tenielle, Kate, Bec & Geoff.
