Dear Parents & Friends,

We hope all parents, students and staff have settled well into Term 3 – it’s hard to believe we are already in Week 2.

We are excited to announce we are holding a Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie Dough drive as a fundraiser this term. Billy G’s is an Australian family-owned and operated business. There are ten (10) dough-delicious flavours! Students and staff will soon receive a Billy G’s Fundraiser order form with instructions on how to collect orders from family, friends and neighbours. Make sure you get the dough-rolling and create your online fundraising page today! The highest tub seller in our Kennedy Baptist College P&F Association leaderboard will automatically go in the draw for the chance to win an Apple Prize Pack valued at $3,300. Please click here for more information. 
 

General Meeting

The P&F Association will continue to work closely with the College throughout the remainder of 2021 to support the whole College community. If you are unaware of what happens at the P&F and why it exists, I invite you to come along to our General Meeting on Wednesday 28 July at 6.30pm in the Staff Lounge. Kennedy Baptist College Parents and Friends Association (the Association) was established in 2013 and was formed to bring together the wider community of the College, parents, friends, and teachers.   

Open Day preparation is in full swing and we are looking forward to a great day where we can showcase the College. 

Silent Auction Donations

Each year we get students involved by donating items for the Silent Auction at Open Day. Below you will find a list of what each year group is encouraged to donate. Students will receive a house point for items delivered. We would appreciate all Silent Auction donations to be dropped off at Student Services by Wednesday 18 August 2021.

We are also seeking your assistance again with donations for jamming ingredients. We would appreciate all jamming donations to be dropped off at Student Services by Friday 6 August 2021. Please see the list below:

Volunteer Information for Open Day 

There are a variety of stalls that need your help, and all you need to do is choose your stall and time! All spots are in time order (not by stall name). We appreciate any time you can give, and we look forward to an exceptional Open Day this year. Click here to sign-up and see areas where you can volunteer. 

We value all our parents and friends, along with the wide scope of expertise and talents that you would bring to the committee.  So, if you have a desire and willingness to serve, be involved with your children/s academic years and want to see remarkable things happen in the life of our College, come along, and see what all the excitement is about.

Looking forward to your ongoing support throughout the remainder of 2021 and hope to see you and welcome you onboard the P&F.

How will we keep you connected?

• P&F Facebook page – this is a great avenue for us to keep you up to date with all the latest and greatest news as well as a tool for parents to sell books and uniforms.  If you would like to be a part of the page please use the request to join and our Secretary, Lorinda, will follow that up. 

• Kennedy Parent’s Connect – this is a newsletter specifically from the P&F which is sent to families each term.  It will have more detailed information than the Facebook page for all the relevant events at the time.  It will also have articles of interest or ideas and tips on parenting, schooling or even just life. 

• College Newsletter – only dates of events and P&F contact details will be in the fortnightly College newsletter.
