For all the guys, we really need some volunteers to run the breakfast BBQ – so please sign up for an hour or so. Lets raise some funds for the school and show the Mum’s our appreciation.

FURTHER DATES
FUNDRAISING SO FAR
Easter Activities
The team have been fundraising for new readers for K-2, which are much needed as I am sure any junior parents will agree! Led by Jacqui Busby and Melissa Bramich, a Bunnings Easter BBQ and raffle, and cake stall at the Easter Hat parade have been great successes. Along with generous parent donations, we are very close to reaching the $4000 target. We will be donating a cheque to the school at the P&C meeting next week, if anyone else would like to contribute you can do so here, thanks to all of those who have contributed:
Election BBQ
The Election BBQ and raffle was run to raise funds for the Year 6 Graduation at the end of the year. It was a massive success and we managed to raise in excess of $11,000!!! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed – purchased raffle tickets, helped on the day on the BBQ and stalls, baked cakes, donated prizes and a special thanks to Ellise Andreacchio who coordinated the online sales. Congratulations to all of our winning raffle ticket holders, I hope you enjoy your prizes!
For all Year 6 parents, the graduation dinner has been confirmed for 13 December so save the date!
ANZAC DAY
SCPS once again participated in the Coogee Dawn Service, and a special ANZAC assembly was held at the school. Both events were very moving, and the choir performed magnificently.
Until next time,
Your P&C
