BPS Parents & Friends Committee- 2024; that’s a wrap!
Well, what a year 2024 has been, with many exciting events, lots of fundraising and many memories made. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as the P & F committee did.
A quick trip down memory lane to remind us:
- We reintroduced the Colour Fun Run! It was an incredible day filled with joy and colour, and the students outdid themselves, raising over $14, 000 that will go towards our school library renovations and enhancements.
- A raving good time was had at our School Disco, which has become a huge favourite for all our students.
- Our Xmas in July-themed Quiz Night raised over $1,500 through generous donations and games on the night.
- The Mother’s day and Father’s day stalls, Bake Sales, Muffins for Mum and Father’s Day Breakfast continue to be highlights for both students and their carers.
- Let’s not forget the Wine Fundraiser, Art Show Bake Sale and Easter Raffle as well.
- The first (hopefully annual) Spooktacular Halloween-themed ‘Family Fun Night’ was held in October- a fantastic night for parents and children alike.
- November Community Lawn Bowls- a chance to socialise and thank the community for the year that has been.
- P&F kindly donated money to purchase the outdoor furniture in LA4. I am sure the kids will enjoy this for many year to come!
- The annual Xmas Raffle was a great success again, with many families donating wonderful items. Thank you
- Lastly, we were very lucky to finish off our last meeting with a celebration at the Warradale. Thank you to the Warradale and Rebecca for sponsoring and providing us with delicious food and drinks!
A huge thank you to our incredible BPS community during 2024—your ongoing support has made all this possible. We couldn’t do it without you!
For any suggestions, feedback, or if you’d like to be part of the P&F in 2025, please email parentsandfriendsbps@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you!
Our first meeting back will be Wednesday 12th of February 6:30pm for our AGM followed by our first meeting of the year at 7pm. All welcome!
