President’s Update

After the sizzling success of the Election BBQ, the P&C is pleased to announce that the $3000 of funds raised on that day will be going straight back into literacy resources for our school. This means new decodable readers and other literacy related texts will be purchased by the school with P&C funding to support the delivery of the new literacy curriculum. A great learning outcome for all our students!

I hope the Mums all enjoyed a special Mother's Day with their gifts that had been chosen with such care. Thanks to Jess, Liz and the amazing crew of volunteers who ran the Mother's Day stall a fortnight ago

Canteen continues to be a success on Fridays. The P&C are making life easier for our canteen crew by purchasing two hand trolleys to help with lunch order deliveries. If you'd like to be involved on a canteen roster, please email Amelia at pccanteen@nrps.org.au.

Look out for some new garden areas coming soon. Our P&C Environment Coordinator, Linda, is working with our gardener Chris and our Stage 3 students to plant out some new garden beds over the coming weeks.

After a great DoughRaiser with Dominos last Friday, there's still time to dine out in May - Grill'd Top Ryde have a North Ryde P&C fundraising jar instore this month as part of their Local Matters program. Sounds like a good excuse to buy a meal and avoid cooking - again!

IMPORTANTLY - we'd love to see you all at our upcoming Trivia night. Early bird tickets are on sale now! This night is a great way to hang out - without your kids - and get to know other NRPS parents. It should be a fun evening with past and present parents, students, and possibly even some teachers. Participation is open to all - you don't need to be good at trivia (I'm certainly not!), and you don't need to have grown up in Australia. Just come for the fun social atmosphere and be part of our school's great community!

There's still lots of ways to be involved with the P&C. Help and ideas are always welcome. Join our Facebook group "North Ryde Public School P&C" or reach out via email to pcpresident@nrps.org.au.
