EASTER RAFFLE
Thank you to those children and families for your Easter egg donations.
The raffle link is live and we are well and truly underway with raising funds for new sports equipment. The P&F are looking at possibly replacing the soccer goals and looking at some other sporting equipment that can be used during recess and lunch.
Please find the raffle link below to share with your friends and families.

FAMILY BBQ & DISCO
P&F Family friendly BBQ and disco is on at 5pm tonight.
Please bring along the whole family as well as some chairs and a picnic rug and enjoy the music along with your children out the back under the Cola. P&F will be selling sausage sizzles, drinks and snacks. Our DJ for the evening will be Stella Studioz.
P&F would like to advise that due to circumstances out of our control, we won't be having EFTPOS Facilities at the Disco on Friday night.
It will be a CASH ONLY event for all P&F items that they will be selling. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
This is not a drop off event - parents will be required to stay.
LOLLY JAR GUESSING COMPETITION
Thank you to all the children who had a guess in our lolly jar competition. The winner will be announced at the school disco.
WORKING BEE
The P&F are seeking families to assist sorting out the storage space under the Parish Centre. Looking for trailers and donations of tip vouchers.
Sunday 30th April
8:30am - 3:00pm, come along anytime.
BBQ at 12:30pm.
GRANT FUNDING APPLICATION
With the support of the school, the P&F have recently applied for a Grant through Veolia. This grant application was for the upgrades to God’s Grass and the placement of Astroturf. Over the years, the drought and then constant rain has meant the grass has not been able to survive in that space. We acknowledge this needs to change. P&F have committed $30000 to the cost of this project, with the Grant hoping to fund the balance. We will find out at the end of April if we are successful Grant recipients, so please watch this space.
We are able to donate this amount of money from the generosity of parents and students throughout the fundraisers we undertook last year, in particular the Colour Run.
P&F will continue to raise funds for a variety of projects throughout the year. At each fundraiser we will announce what the funds raised will be going towards.
We appreciate your ongoing support.
UNIFORMS
We have received some feedback recently from various parents, students and staff regarding the school uniform. P&F and Mr Paton have been speaking to Lowe’s to consider options. We will be receiving samples over the next couple of weeks and at our next P&F meeting we will be discussing this. If you would like to contribute to this discussion, please attend the next meeting, either in person or via zoom. If you are not able to attend but would like to contribute, please contact the P&F via our email (stmichaelspnf@gmail.com).
PARENT INPUT
We value parent input. We will be sending out a parent survey at the beginning of Term 2. Please keep your eye out for this. We are keen to understand the needs of the school from a parent perspective.
DIOCESAN CROSS COUNTRY
P&F will be running the canteen at the Diocesan Cross Country at Willandra on Tuesday 2 May. If you are able to assist us at this event please let us know via email (stmichaelspnf@gmail.com).
