P&C NOTICES
P&C Picnic Thanks
The P&C Christmas Picnic was a great hit again - we were pleased to see so many families join in the activities and enjoy the entertainment.
A big thank you to our “organiser extraordinaire” parent Sharon Williams who put in many many hours towards planning and coordinating the event. And a big thank you to all the school administration and staff who helped make the evening a success, particularly the team from the music department who organised the high quality musical entertainment for the evening – it was enjoyed by all and greatly appreciated.
Thalia Cole and Brianna Peck in particular provided fantastic help coordinating our team with the school – well and truly ‘above and beyond’ – thank you!
The student stalls provided lots of fun entertainment and were very well received – we would like to thank teachers and students who coordinated these stalls, with special thanks to Tracey Enslin and Kate Holland for STEM @ MOD, Alison Soraru who co-ordinated and supported the student’s fairy floss stall, Gerard Mazza for supporting the sustainability stall, Melanie Wilcock for organising the Dance Concert and Rick McMahon and the Mod crew who helped with tables, chairs & gazebos relocation.
And thank you to students Grace Brown and Carmea Visser whose artistic talents came to the fore on the facepainting stall –these two lovely volunteers created some great Xmas designs!
Finally, thank you to all the many parent and community volunteers who helped with the countless tasks, big and small, on the night. The P&C’s success relies on volunteers, your contributions helped to make the evening fun for all.
Please don’t forget to post your photos of the evening to your year group Facebook pages so we can share.
A Merry and Safe Christmas to all and we look forward to another successful year in 2021.
Kind regards
