Dear Parents and Carers, sorry it has been a while between newsletters but the P&C have been very busy working away behind the scenes.
Firstly a massive thank you to everyone that volunteered for the events in Term 3 and early Term 4 – we have had the Fathers Day stall and Breakfast, Musicale, Book Parade, Grandparent’s Day and the Year 6 led Disco. Funds for Musicale will be channelled back to the music and arts programme as always, the book parade profits go to the library resources, the disco went to Year 6 graduation costs and the rest of the fundraising is going to the $20,000 we donate annually to the schools literacy and numeracy programming. The P&C events make a massive difference to the resources at the school, so we really are thankful for everyone supporting them.
So on that note, we wrap up Term 4 with our Christmas Tree fundraiser and our ever popular major event, the SCPS Twilight Cinema.
TWILIGHT CINEMA
Get ready for a magical night under the stars!
Join us for the South Coogee Twilight Cinema — a spectacular evening of fun, food, and film for the whole family!
This year’s feature is the delightful musical adventure ‘Wonka!’, where you’ll follow a young, dream-filled Willy Wonka on his whimsical journey to open the world’s most magical chocolate shop. With dazzling chocolate creations, clever escapes, and a battle against the greedy Chocolate Cartel, it’s a sweet story that will warm your heart and tickle your taste buds!
Before the movie kicks off, the fun begins with entertainment for all ages — from little ones to grown-ups!
RocketBoy Pizza will be serving up their legendary pizzas
There’ll be a sausage sizzle, juicy burgers, and all your favourite movie treats: popcorn, candy floss, gelato, lollies — you name it!
And don’t miss the glowing light-up toys that will make the twilight sparkle even brighter!
This isn’t just a movie night — so grab your picnic blankets, bring your crew, and let’s make some sweet memories together!

As always, these events need the community to support by volunteering an hour or two of your time. We have jobs in the day to set up and roles in the evening from sizzling sausages, serving gelato, selling tickets and many more. Please sign up if you can spare a small amount of time, many hands make light work! Grab a friend and sign up together, I promise it will be fun.
Please sign up to help here: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/02715608071/#/invitation
We will also need a first aider on site, if anyone can perhaps help with this (Do we have any Doctors, nurses, paramedics or confident qualified first aiders amongst us?) please contact us on scps.pandc@gmail.com. We need someone to be available just in case any first aid is required.

CHRISTMAS TREES!
Christmas is only 50 days away, so it’s time to place your orders for Christmas Trees, Puddings and Cakes. The real Christmas trees are looking great this year, the benefit of many months of rain this winter! Order yours here and collect from the school on the morning of the 7th December. A percentage of the profits will go back to the school, so support us instead of the major retailers! The trees are popular, and generally sell out by mid November so please do not delay.
P&C MEETING
Our final P&C meeting for 2025 will be held at the Coogee Legion on the balcony from 6.30pm on the 3 December. We will be giving thanks for the P&Cs contribution for 2025, and looking forward to 2026.
In 2026 we will sadly farewell a few of our long standing P&C Executive Committee – Helen Randall (President), Leane Economou (Vice President), Jenny Connell (Assistant Treasurer), Jodie Steele (Ex President, Fiesta Queen) and Simon Griffin (Ex Secretary). This means there is a great chance for a brand new committee to form in 2026, and we would LOVE to hear from any one interested in getting involved. Please reach out to scps.pandc@gmail.com for any info, or Melissa Bramich and Helen Randall are also happy to hear from you directly.
We look forward to wrapping up 2025 with a bang, see you at Twilight!
Your P&C
