RPFA
From the President
Welcome back to Term 4. There is lots going on this term and there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to fit everything in.
I wanted to bring your attention to something that is very important for our community – the Annual General Meeting for the RPFA on 4 November at 6.30pm. We would love you to come along to see what we have done this year, what we are planning for next year (which is just around the corner) and have a look at the opportunities to get involved. The meeting is open to every parent in the school and anyone is welcome to join the committee. There are a number of positions open from members to officer bearers. We will be also be talking about the opportunities to get involved in the Spring Fair next year. Small and large roles are available, so if you have a small amount of time or would like to get involved in something to make your brain really work please put your hand up. Our community is strong and we would love you to get involved in whatever way you can to make it even stronger!
Sign up here (no commitment…yet!)
Enjoy the last term of the decade!
Teacher Appreciation Day – Friday 25 October
Volunteer parents across all Redlands Campuses will be organising events to show appreciation for our wonderful teachers. You will receive communication from your Class Parents and Year Parents on how you can get involved.
Family Bush Dance
The Bush Dance organisers are looking for a number of volunteers to help out with the set up/pack down of the dance. It would be fabulous if you can help.
Melbourne Cup Luncheon
This is a great opportunity to spend an afternoon with your friends with the event open to the wider community and attended by both mums and dads. There is a shuttle bus service organised to bring you back to the Buena Vista (Mosman Junction). Main formalities finish straight after 3.00pm so you can leave earlier if you need to collect your children.
Early Bird tickets are available now until 18 October.
It is easy to book, just select your Year Group or guests you would like to be seated with. Tables of 10 are available and a limited number of tables of 12.
