P&F News - first meeting 2019

Our first meeting of 2019 was held on Wednesday 27 February and we had an amazing turnout of P&F members and staff.

Dylan Chivers, Dominic College Chief Financial and Operations Manager, came along and did an in depth presentation on the capital development of the K-2 area that will begin later this year.

The development consists of new classrooms, outdoor areas, walkways, playgrounds and more, and will cater to the needs of our ever growing community.

Easter Raffle

Our Easter Raffle will kick off next week so keep an eye out for raffle books being sent home and for an email about what items parents can donate.

Books will consist of 10 tickets and will be $1 per ticket. We are on the lookout for gift boxes, cane baskets and the like, that we can use as bases for our hampers, so if anyone has any they would like to donate, please drop them at any of the school offices.

Uniform Review and Re-Design

We are planning on using our next P&F meeting on Wednesday 20 March as an opportunity for parents to give feedback about the uniform to representatives from Perm-a-Pleat and the Uniform Committee.

It will be held in the 7-10 Library from 7.15pm and I would encourage all parents/guardians to come along and find out more about the Review process.
