Parent Association

At the moment there doesn’t seem to be a week that goes by without at least one event or get together going on and we are truly grateful to all parents who manage to make time to attend these events in your already busy schedules.

Firstly, we would like to acknowledge what a truly beautiful Eucharist and Commissioning ceremony for Ms Ugonotti that we, and all your daughters, had the pleasure of attending last week. Every part of it was truly memorable from the acknowledgement of country  sung in traditional language to how everyone of the girls presented themselves with true grace and sincerity.    

There was an email sent out this week regarding our Open Day on Saturday 9  March with requests for Cake Working Bee helpers and also to get your chef hats on to cook up a treat or two for the cake stall.  Please also join us on the BBQ and Devonshire tea – we will be setting up an online volunteer sign-on page so please keep an eye out for this.

Our Year 7 parents and students will all have the chance to put on their ‘bootscooting’ boots and join in the fun on Saturday 30  March.  Every year this event is attended by most Year 7 families and a link to buy your tickets will be sent out shortly, so please make sure you get in quick to reserve your table.

Also, bookings will open soon for the City/Country Mothers’ Lunch on Friday 12  April so keep an eye open as the seats do go very quickly.

PAL will once again be offering  Entertainment Books to members of the Loreto Normanhurst community.  Entertainment Books are now available in a digital format, allowing you to carry  everything that the Entertainment Book offers with your smart phone.  For more information about the benefits of a  digital membership, please click HERE or if you would like to purchase  an Entertainment Book,  click HERE.

Lastly, we will be forming our Spring Fair Committee soon and ask now for anyone or any group of parents who would like to join us on the main organising team.  We usually have 10-12 parents who are happy to work with a team to organise one of the areas, for example the school stalls, or the kids corner, so if that’s you, then please let us know via pal@loretonh.nsw.edu.au

As always, please let us know if you would like to join the wider team as our Year Parent Coordinators.  Usually there are two to four for each year and we run an information session to provide details to those who are interested or who volunteer straight away.  If you are interested in becoming a coordinator this year then please send us an email.

Looking forward to saying ‘Hi’ at these events and continue friendship building, fundraising and enjoying being a Loreto parent.

Kind regards

Paul White  & Louise Wytenburg
