  • 2023 Gala – Invitation to a meet and greet evening on Monday 1st May at 6.30 pm for parents who want to find out more about helping at the Gala. Our 2023 Gala Core Team has begun meeting in preparation for our Gala which is scheduled to go ahead on Saturday, October 28th. This year we aim to host a fun-filled day with many hands making light work! Last year was the first year we held our Gala in three years due to covid, so many families experienced it for the first time. You will have all seen the amazing day that it was, and this year, it will be even bigger and better with our community’s help. In Term 3 we will be calling for weekly collections of items which will contribute to making the day amazing, however, for now, we are sending out a call for support for helpers to co-lead a stall. The Gala Core Team have approached a few families already and we are starting to put together a group of families to help out in making each stall run well for the day. If you are interested in joining this group for fun and support at the Gala in October, please come along to our Meet and Greet evening on Monday 1st May at 6.30pm in the staffroom for wine and cheese and to find out more about what is involved. Your attendance on this night does not mean you have to sign up, however we would love as many people to attend as possible who may be able to help in support of a stall on the day so that we can share what is involved in anticipation that families will sign up to help. Please come along on May 1st at 6.30pm, and bring a friend!
