Father’s Day Stall & Raffle
The P & F are again coordinating the annual Father’s Day Stall for students to buy a special gift for Father’s Day. After the success of the Mother’s Day Stall, the Father’s Day Stall will also be conducted by your child’s teacher in their classroom.
The stall will be held on WEDNESDAY 2nd September
We have a wonderful selection of gifts from $2 to $7. Please send some cash with your child on the day of the stall so that they can buy a gift. If your child is absent or forgets their money on the day of the stall, they will be able to purchase a gift on Friday 4th September. Students may also be offered the opportunity to buy a second gift provided that all students have had the chance to buy a gift.
The P & F are also holding a Father’s Day Raffle this year. Raffle tickets will be sent home soon.
Raffle ticket sales close WEDNESDAY 2nd September 2020.
The raffle will be drawn on: FRIDAY 4th September 2020.
The money raised by the Father’s Day Stall and Raffle will go towards the playground upgrade that has begun with the flying fox on the main oval and the creek bed water play area in the K/PP area. We thank you in advance for your support.
