Trinity's 2018 College Fete!
Trinity's Parents and Friends Auxiliary is dedicated to developing a community of parents, friends, staff and students. Working within this partnership, their main objective is to seek ways to enhance the learning experience of all the students at the College, and to both fund raise and “friend” raise.
The P&F is an integral
part of the college community, giving support, expertise and vast amounts of
energy across both campuses and enabling parents to play a proactive part in their
children’s school life. This incredible team of people is dedicated to
providing opportunities for our parents to interact and engage with one
another, enabling and encouraging social interaction, community engagement,
public relations and fundraising. Each year a diverse range of social,
friend-raising and fundraising activities are hosted by the P&F, with the
goal being to include all members of the college community and to further strengthen
it. By promoting friendship and goodwill between parents, students and staff, the P&F
helps all families – especially new ones – to get to know the college and
become involved, while also raising funds for additional projects, equipment
and facilities to benefit the College. Supporting the P&F initiatives each year is a wonderful way to
meet other parents and also to share in your children’s school life and interests.
The BIGGEST fundraising and social event in the P&F calendar this year is the 2018 Fete. Trinity's Fete is held every two years and is the major fundraiser for the College. The aim is simple – we want to
maximise fun for the children, minimise effort for parents and raise money to fund various projects, equipment, resources and upgrades to enhance our school . For this to
happen it always
takes a big team effort. Each year level will own a stall at the fete and we are really relying on our parent body to get on board to help out with running these stalls - each volunteer will be required to work for only 30 minutes if everyone pitches in to help. We will also be putting a shout out for volunteers to come on board and sign up to help with all the preparation required for the stalls prior to the fete (this could be baking, packing, decorating and so on). We really do understand the 'busyness' of parent life but the smallest contribution can make a big difference. Here are some ways you can get involved:
- Joining the volunteer group to help with stall preparations
- Making sure you are there for your 30 minute stall slot on Fete day
- Supporting calls for donations
- Enjoying a great family day out and purchasing a ride bracelet.
Please contact Mrs Lea Fitzpatrick on pandf@tlc.qld.edu.au if you are interested in helping out with our fete.
