If you were lucky enough to get one of these marvelous calendars, don’t forget to drop payment of $12.95 with Louise or into the P&C Box in the school office!!
Our Oh, Gee!! Laughternoon Teas have become a great way to begin and end the year at Orange Grove. So come along to our farewell event next Friday, and we can all have a cup of coffee or tea and chat about the year that was! It’s been fast and furious for everyone, we think, so this will be a chance to unwind. So come along, bring a plate or just yourself and the kids, and enjoy yourself!
Refreshments available, children must be accompanied by an adult!!Date: Friday December 12th
Where: Outside the Canteen
Who: Everyone welcome!!
Time: 3.00pm till 4.30pm
The band committee are still waiting to find out who the new junior band members will be for 2009! We have some of our auditioners from November who have already booked a place for themselves, so if you are interested in joining, let us know, and payment will need to be received by Week 4 in Term One next year.
The P&C are still taking orders for the 125th birthday commemorative items. Order forms went home to each family again this week, and there are copies in the School Office, but hurry, because stocks are starting to run low!
The end of the year is fast approaching, and now is a great time to stock up on uniform items in preparation for the start of the 2009 school year! The uniform shop is located in the entranceway of Block B, and can supply all of your child’s OGPS uniform needs.
Next year we will be seeking a new member for our Uniform Committee, so we would be very keen to hear from someone who can volunteer time on a Wednesday morning between 8.30am and 9.10am. If this sounds like something you can help with, please have a chat with Stephanie or Muriel at the Uniform Shop on any Wednesday, or drop a note in the P&C Box in the office.
2008 was another tremendous year for the Orange Grove P&C Association, thanks to all those magnificent people who came to our BBQ celebration last night - it was a great night!!
