Reserve your tickets today. Book and pay securely online at http://events.huntingtower.vic.edu.au/ or call the office on (03) 9807 8888.

Cadbury Chocolate Drive

Just a reminder that all funds from the Chocolate Drive are now overdue.  If you haven’t yet paid, can you please provide the Office with either a cheque (payable to ‘Huntingtower PTA’) or cash ($60 per box).  We would very much prefer to collect the proceeds this way so we can ensure we have enough money to pay Cadbury.  Putting the proceeds through on the school account is a last resort only and is very difficult to administer so we’d really appreciate your support.

Positive Parenting Skills Nights

Accredited Presenter Kellie Jasper will be facilitating intimate workshops teaching the respected ‘1-2-3 Magic’ and ‘Emotional Coaching’ techniques to interested parents of children aged between 2-12 years.  Learn simple ways to minimise challenging behaviour, encourage good behaviour and build stronger family relationships.  The three sessions in August will run for 2 hours each (including supper) and cost $80 per person or $140 per couple.  Please book through the school office as numbers are limited.

Bye Bye Birdie Interval Suppers

We’d love volunteers to help serve supper for the Bye Bye Birdie musical (those interested please contact Deb Davey on debbiedavey67@gmail.com. 

Fete Rides

We are delighted to advise that the following rides have been booked for this year’s Fete.

• Fantasy Island Jumping Castle
• Cha Cha
• Panda Obstacle Course
• Giant Super Slide
• Cup and Saucer
• Sideshow Alley games including mini golf, dunking machine, laughing clowns, etc.
• Traditional Animal Farm (still obtaining quotes).

Pricing will be determined once the Animal Farm has been booked, but based on feedback from last year, this year we plan to offer junior and senior wristbands, as well as discounts for large families.

Fete Donations

Thank you for all the terrific donations that have already come in for the Fete.  If you have any spare books, clothes, dvds or general bric-a-brac for the Dad’s stall, we’d be very grateful if you could please leave it up at the green sheds near the trainline (2^nd door from the left).

We kindly requesting that every family please donate some small goods or services for the Silent Auction which will be part of our Fete in November this year. The goods or services (must be new) will be sold to the highest bidder and money raised will greatly boost our efforts in fund raising towards the new Aquatic Centre. Preparations for Silent Auction are well under way and the request is made to each family (not each child) that did not have a chance to help or to offer the help so far. Any support will be greatly appreciated, whether it is a pair of socks or set of kitchen mugs. Carton boxes will be placed around the school grounds on Tuesday, 10 August 2010 to facilitate the collection of the donations.
