Dear Parents

As we approach the end of the year, I would like to say a HUGE thank you for your support throughout 2023. We welcomed an entire new Committee to the P&F this year and we all hit the ground running. 

This year alone we have managed to raise a total of $16,497.44, not including any of the funds we have raised for our Colour Run major fundraising event. 

That is an incredible total amount of $43,444 that has been donated to the school just in this past year alone!

None of this would be possible without the support of our generous school community. Thank you! We hope to continue to contribute more resources and upgrades next year.

COLOUR RUN

St Michael’s 2023 Colour Run is off to an AMAZING start with fundraising pledges coming in. We have an EPIC day planned!

The Colour Run will be held on Wednesday 13 December on the back oval as part of the school Fun Day. The proceeds from this year’s Colour Run will fund the future playground improvements. 

For every $5000 raised, a staff member will be nominated to be soaked. So far we have managed to raise a whopping $21,870. The 4 teachers that have been nominated so far are:

• Mr Paton
• Mrs Rutkowski
• Mr Anderson
• Mr Allmark

We have the potential to soak at least 2 more teachers with our fundraising efforts.

Who will be next?

Let’s keep the momentum going and add more teachers to the list.

IMPORTANT:  When registering your child make sure YOU ENTER THEIR CLASS!  When starting the sign up process for an individual, you will be asked to select a team to join, the Team is your student’s class.

Without this information attached to their profile your child may miss out on the chance of winning some prizes. 

After only 3 weeks of fundraising, we are only $8250 away from our target goal of $30,000. How incredible are all the students for this mammoth effort! With just under 2 weeks to go, we are going to smash this goal.

PRIZES: 

There are some incredible prizes up for grabs, thanks to the support of our amazing local businesses. Their generosity and support have made these prizes possible. Please support these businesses who are the backbone of our local community. 

The major prizes can be won for the highest fundraisers in the category of Infants and Primary. There is also a prize for the Highest Fundraisers per class AND prizes along the way for the class with the most students signed up. (Terms and conditions apply).
