Dear Parents
Please find attached note from Parents Committee re Night at the Dogs Fundraiser and June dates for your diary......
The fundraising effort is a great success so far and a big thank you to all for selling ads and tickets and sourcing race sponsors and prizes.
I also wish to acknowledge and sincerely thank our Parents Committee for all their time and effort and the trojan work they have put in to organising the upcoming 'Night at the Dogs' fundraiser.
This is their one major fundraiser of the year and all funds go to the development of a playground within the school grounds. Their fundraising efforts have also gone towards so many other activities which the children partake in during the year such as Music, Gymnastics, Athletics - they also subsidise transport costs to swimming and matches and the purchase of books and resources for our school and they never forget the children at Christmas and Easter.
So come one, Come all to Support the Parents Committee and their Fundraiser Night at the Dogs!!
Kind Regards
Paul Horan
Principal
