FUN, FOOD & CAROLS DEBRIEF
We were very sorry that it could not go ahead but we were also grateful to have been able to salvage some things due to some quick thinking of our PFA. We hope you have enjoyed the bake sale and your children were able to enjoy the petting zoo. Remember the raffle will be drawn Monday 13th December. The PFA would like to thank everyone for their support, time and energy in the preparation and planning of Fun, Food & Carols and thank you to so many of you who were prepared to give time on the day. There are far too many parents, staff and community members to be named here but we know who you are.
RAFFLE UPDATE
Thank you to everyone who has sold raffle tickets to grandparents, friends, neighbours… or just bought the whole book yourself! Originally planned to be drawn at Fun Food & Carols, this will now instead be drawn at the last assembly for the year on Monday 13th December. So if you haven’t sold any tickets or you had forgotten to return your ticket stubs and money to the office, there is still time! Please return ASAP and no later than before school on the Monday of the draw.
JOIN OUR PARKHILL PFA
We are looking for new members to help us fill roles for next year. If you have a passion for helping our school community thrive and enjoy being involved in events and fundraising, please consider joining as a general member or perhaps stepping into an office bearing role. The positions available are President, Secretary, PR & Communications, and Vice President.
From the PFA President
Dear Parkhill Families,
At the upcoming Parents and Friends Association (PFA) meeting, I will no longer represent the school PFA as president. I have enjoyed my role with the PFA team and made special friendships through it. Helping to raise money and build community connections through events and ongoing PFA activities have been part of the fun.
It is an exciting time as committee roles for secretary and communications are also up for re-election, plus we have a new treasurer, Chris Fagan. We welcome interest from all members of the school community to evolve and continue the PFA activities moving forward.
Being part of the PFA provides a unique opportunity to add enormous value to the school, students and community through providing fundraising for much needed amenities and also social activities that bring together families and students that help foster the wonderful Parkhill community.
As of writing this letter, there are currently no expressions of interest, so if you would like to find out more about the role of President please reach out with any questions. Rest assured that I will still continue to be an active member of the PFA general committee you will be closely supported as a new committee member in your new role. Please see below for more information on each role.
Thank you everyone for your support of the PFA over the years
Kind Regards,
Rossanne Clay
PFA President
