P&F News
Father's Day Raffle
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Father’s Day breakfast! It was such a lovely morning filled with sunshine, smiles, good food and even better company. Whether you were a dad, grandad, carer or supporter, it was great to see so many people coming together to celebrate the important father figures in our lives.
Events like this morning's remind us how special our school community is. Sharing moments like this helps strengthen our connections and foster the kind of supportive, inclusive environment we all value so much.
A special shoutout goes to our incredible volunteers who made it all happen:
Claudia and Matt de Witt, Natalie Chapman, Hayden Cornish, Anna Harley, Jemma Falkenmire, and Charlotte Raman – thank you for giving your time and energy to make the morning run so smoothly.
And an extra big thank you to Elise Bithrey from the P&F for coordinating the event and bringing everything (and everyone) together so beautifully.
We also extend our thanks to all those who generously donated items for the raffle – your support is greatly appreciated.
