Dear Parents and Carers,
The St Joseph’s School Tranmere Parents & Friends Committee have had a busy term planning out our exciting events for the year ahead. There is something for everyone so be sure to SAVE THE DATES. I’d like to already say a BIG thank you to those who have joined the Committee and given up their time to plan and execute the events we have instore this year.
Also, a big thank you to all of the volunteers who have supported Ice blocks each Friday and most recently, our Easter raffle — your enthusiasm and willingness to help continue to make a real difference in our school community.
Our fundraising goal this year is $10,000! This money will go towards adding a fantastic shade structure in front of the new sports shed—so our children can stay cool during PE and our parents can cheer on from the sidelines in comfort!
Recent Highlights:
The Easter Raffle was a great success. With an overwhelming amount of Easter themed donations, we had a wonderful mix of chocolate, lollies and craft. In total, we created 38 beautiful Easter baskets. Thank you to the school community for the generous donations and the hard work in selling those raffle tickets. The raffle will be drawn on Thursday 10 April so keep your eye on your phone. We raised $1,477.00 which is a great start to our fundraising for 2025.
Ice blocks each Friday continue to be a hit in Term 1 and Term 4. The children approach the canteen window with such lovely manners and sheer joy in their eyes when they spend their (🙂) money and receive an ice block in return. We've had great support from parents as well as some of the Year 6 students in the Community & Wellbeing group. This past term we have raised $400 with our final day of sales coming this Friday. Stay tuned for what’s instore for the winter months.
Please see below for our upcoming events. Keep an eye out more information coming home soon!
Our next fundraiser is fast approaching with the election day BBQ. A flyer went home on Tuesday so please register your interest if you can give an hour or two of your time. Should be fun!!
We’re always looking for new faces and fresh ideas, so whether you can help occasionally or want to get more involved behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you. Your support, big or small, helps build a stronger, more connected school community.
Thank you again for your ongoing support!
Warm regards,
Nicole
