ELECTION BBQ
The Year 6 Fundraising team held a very successful election day BBQ, raising over $3000 towards the graduation event. Special thanks goes out to Bunnings Eastgardens for their donation of a brand new BBQ, and to Bakers Delight Pacific Square for their discounted bread rolls. Thanks also to all of the parents and children who helped out on the day, or baked, or prepped especially Nikki Goldsmith who led the efforts.

WISH LIST
Some Wish List items have already been ticked off for the year, with the P&C donating the funds for the teachers tea and coffee for the year, $200 per teacher for supplies for the classroom such as stickers, rewards, décor whatever they like. The literacy donation has also been made for an initial $5000. Future fundraising will focus on securing more chromebooks for the school, the sensory path upgrade and ethics training. We are also hoping to upgrade the technology for the zoom assemblies so that the audio is bearable!
APPEAL – IPAD CHARGERS
The school is currently running very short on IPAD chargers, we are missing about 30 from covid lending and general breakages and losses. If anyone has the standard lightening cable chargers lying around used please consider donating to the school for our charging stations. They can be sent in to the office 😊
ENROLMENTS FOR 2023
Enrolments for 2023 have commenced, the school is looking at building on capacity and will be hosting an open day for all (in addition to the kindy orientation) to show off our fabulous school. Mrs Fisher would love to speak to a graphics expert to assist in designing a poster to advertise this to the wider community.
CROSS COUNTRY
Congratulations to all of the Zone Cross Country runners, who secured SCPS 1st place in the Eastern Suburbs PSSA Zone Cross Country carnival.
Hope to see you all either in person or virtually at the P&C
