Mater Dei Spring Fair 2023

Thank you to everyone who donated and volunteered at our recent Spring Fair.  There were a lot of happy children due to your efforts!  School Fairs are complex things to organise with so many moving parts and we appreciate anyone who was able to help make our fair a success.  A special thanks goes to Amy Dampney, George Carroll and Lyn Wegner for their efforts in coordinating the entire fair!! 

As we review our recent Fair we are asking the Mater Dei parent body for feedback.  Is there something you would like to see at our fair? Or is there something that you think could be done differently, then we want to know.  Could any feedback please be sent to MATPandF@twb.catholic.edu.au  

The aim of our school Fair is for a family fun day.  If you have any suggestions for an alternative event then please also email us your suggestions. 

Looking forward to 2024 our main parent event will be “The Long Lunch”.  The date has been set but we are on the hunt for a coordinator.  If you would like to play a part in coordinating this event please register your interest by emailing MATPandF@twb.catholic.edu

2023 P&F Update

The P&F would like to welcome all Families and staff back for the 2023 school year, we hope everyone had a nice relaxing break. We especially extend a warm welcome to any new members of the Mater Dei community.

The Mater Dei P&F meet on the 3rd Monday each month, at the school office at 6.30pm.

The next meeting is on the 20h Feb and all parents are most welcome to attend.

Our first social event of the year is a welcome BBQ to be held after school on Thursday 16th Feb. 3.30 until 5pm. This is a great chance to catch up with other parents and to welcome the new families so please come along.

We are currently seeking someone to act as a class coordinator on the committee to help with communications with each of the class representatives. This year we will be holding our  biennial school fair. Each of the year groups usually manage a separate event or stall at the fair and as such we are seeking expressions of interest for parents from each age group to help coordinate this.

Please reach out to us on MATPandF@twb.catholic.edu.au if you have any questions or would like to be on the committee. Looking forward to seeing you all at the welcome BBQ
