The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter SCHOOL COUNCIL
FUNDRAISING & COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Hello all,
What an absolute awesome turnout to celebrate our mothers and special persons in our school community at the Mother ’ s Day breakfast last Friday! We estimate that almost 170 plates of pancakes were served; the keyring and bracelet making station was always busy; and there were some lovely words spoken by our students about how wonderful their mums were at the open - mic set - up. A huge thank you to all the mums, grandmothers and special persons who attended. A very special thank you goes to our parent/carer volunteers from our Fundraising team - Jenny, Veronica, Jenevieve, Caitlyn and Laura – for all of their organising and legwork in the weeks leading up to the event and to parent Grant and our principals Mr Panas and Mrs Short, who cooked up a storm on the BBQs, cooking literally hundreds of pancakes. A massive thank you also to Ms Lee and the many staff who also helped towards the day from getting in early to help set up; selling food tokens; helping serve; to taking photos, it is appreciated, and the Fundraising team are grateful for your support. Lastly, I would also like to acknowledge Camp Australia for their contribution towards the cost of the event and Frankies Café for providing the coffee. Our Mother ’ s Day breakfasts are an important event in engaging our school community and strengthening school pride; both of which align with the core areas of our Strategic Plan. I must also mention and thank parents/carers for purchasing gifts from our Mother ’ s Day stall on 7 May. Thank you must go to parents Josie and Helen who volunteer to organise and run this stall (and the Father ’ s Day stall) each year, with planning starting many months in advance. The next Fundraising activity will be a pie drive in winter, so look out for details on how to order shortly! In addition, if anyone would like to help in the organising of Fundraising events, or has any feedback, please reach out to me at amanda.farrelly@education.vic.gov.au.
