As Term 1 comes to a close, it's time to celebrate with all the chocolate-goodness of the Easter Raffle and Easter Egg guessing competition. If you haven't already, jump online to MySchoolConnect to grab raffle tickets. Many thanks to Liz and the team of volunteers who have coordinated such a great selection of prizes to win and packed so many jars of eggs. Thanks also to the parents who donated Easter Eggs to make it possible. Good luck to the kids with their guessing this week!

The P&C held our second meeting of the year in Week 8. Thank you to all who joined us (and persevered with some technical difficulties). In exciting news, our fundraising efforts are about to be put to very good use. As a major project for this year, the P&C have agreed to help fund the cost of installing air conditioning in the school hall! This will be a great benefit to students year-round and a welcome relief to parents attending cold winter assemblies or hot summer presentation days.

Thanks also to Mel and the volunteers who are opening the Uniform Shop for winter uniform fittings this Friday morning. It will become noticeably cooler in Term 2, so drop in if you need sizing assistance or uniform advice.

To follow what's going on with the P&C, please join our Facebook group "North Ryde Public School P&C", look out for messages over SchoolBytes or email pcpresident@nrps.org.au. We're always looking for volunteers, so please let us know if there are ways you'd like to help.

On behalf of the P&C, I hope you all enjoy a wonderful Easter holiday break.
