Opening Message from P & F
Dear Parents and Carers,
Another term has just flown by – and goodness, it was busy!
As always, I start my message with a huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who helped out over the course of the term – the kids and parents alike have had a ball with all the events this term.
The term kicked off with a wonderful Father’s day breakfast – thank you to everyone who helped out with cooking, serving and cleaning up – a fantastic way to say thank you to all the dads and special men in our community. Huge thanks also to Sarah Collins and her band of helpers who coordinated the Father’s day gift stall – the kids had a ball selecting the perfect gift and I’m sure the dads were delighted with their choices!
The amazing Jen Graham and her team of volunteers went to work on organising a terrific Walkathon – the fundraising was epic, the planning was exceptional and an amazing day was had by all – well done to all the kids (and parents) on getting their sponsorships in – an astounding $16,000 was raised towards our goal supporting a robotics program and resurfacing the basketball court.
Fete preparation is now in full swing. If you haven’t already volunteered – we still need plenty of helpers, so please consider either helping staff a stall on the day, or be part of the setup /take down teams – there will be plenty of opportunities to help out and we will need everyone in the school to help out for a successful day. We’re still collecting donations for the stalls – keep an eye out for these last few weeks on what to bring in.
Also – if you have a gazebo that we can borrow for the day of the fete, please get in touch with Lisa Bauer / Fete Committee on htpsfete@gmail.com - we are expecting a record number of stalls this year and we will need all the shade we can get.
We are so excited and this will be a tremendous day for the whole school – don’t miss out on the excitement! Join in!
I am also giving notice of the P&F AGM and election of officials which will take place on 28th November. Please put the date in your diary – this is an important date in the P&F calendar and requires the support of the whole school. More details on nominations and elections will be made available closer to the date.
Thank you all for your support
Carmel
