PARENT INFORMATION EVENING / MEET & GREET
The Parent Information Evening and Meet & Greet for 2015 is on Friday, February 6 commencing at 6pm. Each class teacher will hold an information session with their parents. To make this a social evening we will enjoy ‘Nibbles and Drinks’ at the conclusion of the class sessions. All parents are required to bring ‘finger food nibbles’ to share and there will be a complementary drink and tea and coffee. Please be there to hear about your child’s learning plan for 2015 and to enjoy a social gathering with the Holy Name School community.

SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
Leadership is a challenge and a wonderful opportunity for the leadership group of Yr 6. Some students have nominated as a candidate for leader of their house – Mort, Concanon and McCauley. These students will deliver their speeches on Tuesday 10th February at 1:45pm. All parents, grandparents and friends are invited to come along and be inspired by these future leaders.

PARENTS & FRIENDS ASSOCIATION
The P&F is a very friendly and inclusive group who fundraise to benefit all students at the school. There are many ways that parents can become involved, such as attending the monthly P&F meeting, helping at working bees, tuckshop volunteers etc. It is a great avenue to get to know and socialize with other parents and staff. The first P&F Meeting for 2015 is on Tuesday, February 10 at 6pm in the school Library. All welcome.

VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are wonderful assets to our school community. We would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all our wonderful volunteers and encourage many more to join in. There are too many to mention individually, but you know who you all are!! However we do need more tuckshop helpers, clothing shop and classroom helpers. Volunteers need to be inducted for their own safety and to comply with school procedures. There will be a ‘Volunteers Induction’ on Tuesday February 10 in the school library commencing at 9am. Everyone is encouraged to attend.
