What has the GPA been up to:

Samosa Lunch

To help in celebrating harmony day at the school, the children were able to order a delicious samosa (or two!) provided by one of our local favourites – Quality Q – yum!

Thank you to Nicole (Ben grade 5, Charlie grade 3), Gayle (Alice grade prep), Gabriella (David grade 2, Isabelle grade 1), Abbi (James grade 5, Lewis grade 3, Eden grade 2), Caterina (Gabriel grade prep) and Hayley (Harvey grade 4, Adam grade 2) for helping out on the day.

The lunch was able to raise $160 – great effort and a huge thank you to Mr Raju from Quality Grocer for his ongoing support to the school.

Family fun night

What a beautiful evening to come together as a school community – it was so heartwarming to see so many families able to attend and mingle with one another.

A huge thank you to the specialist team who provided our first ever colour run at the school! Such happy faces emerged from the obstacle course!

Brendan and his team from Woodstack Pizza were on hand providing yummy wood fired pizzas

Thank you to Ruth, Nicole, Noel, Danielle, Gayle, Abbi and Hayley for running the GPA stall out of the new tuck shop.

Icy Pole Fridays

Thank you to Fiona (Daniel grade 4) for coordinating the Friday lunchtime icy poles. We have had a great uptake from the school community!

It’s so nice to have some familiar faces helping out as well as some new to the community: Janaki (Sanjeev grade 6, Sana grade 1) Cecylia (Winston grade 4, Olympia grade 1), Emily (Theo grade prep), Makiko (Seinosuke grade 4), Gayle (Alice grade prep), Fiona (Daniel grade 4), Abbi (James grade 5, Lewis grade 3, Eden grade 2) and Hayley (Harvey grade 4, Adam grade 2), Bianca (Knox and Nash grade prep).
