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.
2009 has been another tremendous year for the Orange Grove P&C Association, all thanks to the efforts of those who gave so graciously and freely of their time and energy. If you were one of those magnificent people, we would love you to come along to our Christmas Thank-You BBQ, so we can all celebrate our success!
What a magnificent festive spectacle the Walking School Bus made on Tuesday morning!! There was carol singing the entire way to school, and what a talented bunch of choristers our Orange Grove Bus passengers are!! There were Xmas adornments aplenty, and our brand new Orange Grove Jingle Bells was ‘road tested’ as well - marvelous fun!! Only one more trip left this term, which is next week. The WSB will not run on the day of the Nielsen Park excursion the following week. Our last 2008 bus will start at the corner of Church & Mary streets at 8.43am, or you can walk to the Grocer’s on the corner of Mary St by 8.47am and we can pick you up! And don’t forget, if you would like to try Driving or Conducting let one of the operators know!The Last WSB for 2008 will run on Tuesday 9th December.
Last Friday Night’s Fever-ish Trivia challenge was simply stunning! The venue was magnificently adorned, the atmosphere was superb, and the clothes were so authentic that the time-warp was almost real!! There were more afros in the room on Friday than have been seen together since the Jackson Five hung up their microphones - and wigs, facial hair, and grooooovy outfits all made it a night to remember. By next week we will have tallied all income, and we’ll be able to tell you what funds we raised, in the meantime a HUGE thanks goes out to absolutely everyone who was involved in this awesome event!And the answers to our tantalizing Newsletter Trivia?
On the 19th November, the Orange Grove P&C elected a new Executive Committee. Thanks to everyone who nominated for a position, and we look forward to a really exciting year! Congratulations are extended to the following office bearers:
Thanks to everyone who got involved in the 2009 Planning Meeting on Tuesday night, there were certainly some great ideas and discussions circulating! We are almost ready for 2009, and it looks like being another incredible year for the OGPS P&C.
