🚨🌈 COLOUR BOMB THE PRINCIPAL! 🌈🚨

We are SO close to our Move-a-thon goal!

We need less than $2,000 to reach our target of $22,000 by 2:30pm tomorrow.

Teresa has made a deal with the students… if we hit the target, she will be sprayed by the fire engine 🚒💦 and colour bombed by the PTA team! 🎨🌈

Let’s make it happen for the kids! Every donation, big or small, gets us one step closer to an unforgettable celebration and helps support our school.

A huge thank you to one of our wonderful sponsors, Wendy Treadwell from Harcourts Browns Bay! 💙

The support of our sponsors helps keep PTA costs down, allowing more of the money we raise to go directly back into supporting our school, students, and community.

We are incredibly grateful for Wendy’s ongoing support and generosity. Please remember to support the local businesses that support our school whenever you can. 😊

Thank you, Wendy!
