We\u2019ve hosted some wonderful events, have our annual School Disco tomorrow night and our Parent Reps are planning a flurry of casual catch-ups for our families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first General Meeting for the year was held on Wednesday night and we welcomed our very own Jane Sulis OAM as guest speaker. It was truly inspiring to hear about the extent of Jane\u2019s outreach work and hear her advice on what we as parents can do to raise socially conscious children, who care about those in need. We are so blessed to have Jane as a teacher and our Coordinator of Outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">P&amp;F donations in action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This term, the P&amp;F Association was able to support the College by providing 36 new and second-hand lab coats for the students of Gioia House. This is a wonderful example of how our support directly benefits students and families of the College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">College outreach and how we can help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At our General Meeting last night we heard from the College&#8217;s Coordinator of Outreach, Jane Sulis OAM, about all the ways the students, staff and ex-students contribute to the wider community. In response to individual requests from parents as to how they can get involved, we have put together <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/Mf78nmzGAPnNH71z9\">this form<\/a> for interested parents to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Past events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mums &amp; Dads from Prep, Kindergarten, Year 5 and Year 7 came together this month to form connections with the newest families in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Dads enjoyed a night of healthy competition at Sydney\u2019s premier sports bar \u2013 Club9. They played pool, shuffleboard and darts while feasting on bottomless pizza and keeping an eye on the first game of the Friday Night Footy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Mums relished a well-deserved night out with the girls \u2013 enjoying cocktails and canap\u00e9s &nbsp;at popular eatery Organica. This sell-out event has proven to be a wonderful success and we hope to expand it further next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/pf-events-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"539\" height=\"762\" data-id=\"20217\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/pf-events-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/pf-events-1.jpg 539w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/pf-events-1-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/pf-events-1-106x150.jpg 106w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Endless Summer Disco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to bringing sunshine to the dance floor this Friday night for our Endless Summer Disco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/fb6ec01e-9954-4037-8d22-d6460879b67a\" alt=\"\ud83d\uddd3\"> Date: Friday 20 March 2026<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/706ca10b-4d25-4d4b-944d-7234abc50538\" alt=\"\ud83d\udccd\"> Location: Del Monte Hall<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/34cc1843-ff84-44b6-a499-630b1ce5078a\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd54\"> Disco Times:<br><br>5:00pm \u2013 5:45pm \u2192 Prep, Kindy, Year 1, St Lucy&#8217;s &amp; MBH<br>6:00pm \u2013 7:00pm \u2192 Year 2, Year 3 &amp; Year 4<br>7:15pm \u2013 8:30pm \u2192 Gioia House<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to volunteer for this event please join our WhatsApp Group<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/B6IEHG8v89k7z8kT2do2UN?mode=hq2tcli\">If you would like to volunteer for this event please join our WhatsApp Group here.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mother\u2019s Day Lunch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trybooking.com\/events\/landing\/1545767\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/Mothers-day-2026-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/Mothers-day-2026-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/Mothers-day-2026-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/Mothers-day-2026-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/Mothers-day-2026-107x150.jpg 107w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/03\/Mothers-day-2026.jpg 901w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trybooking.com\/events\/landing\/1545767\">BOOK HERE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year Group Catch Ups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Parent Representatives have been busy planning informal gatherings for our families.
