TERM 4 WEEK 10 Year 6
The Last Term of Primary School!
What a year to be finishing primary school!
5/6 H have been so lucky to be able to participate in gala days, Toronto High school orientation days and also run an
amazing fun day for the school!
Last week we celebrated our incredible graduating class of 2020 at Toronto Swim Centre. They were dressed to
impress and had an absolute ball.

AVPS UNIFORMS URGENTLY NEEDED
If you have any spare AVPS uniforms that you no longer need for your
children, we would greatly appreciate any donated items of uniforms. Our
stock of second hand uniforms is extremely low. We desperately need
skorts, dresses, shorts, jackets, shirts etc
So if you have any spare uniform items that you need to get rid off,
please hand them into the office.
Could you also wash and return any borrowed clothing that your child
has worn home from the office. We are running out.
THANK YOU!!!!!

P & C News Term 4
TERM 4 WEEK 10
The P&C Committee would like to thank everyone for a huge 2020—it has been
a massive year for our students, community and amazing school staff.
“ I think there are these moments of a crisis that give us the courage and
encouragement to try something that actually may be better than how we were
doing it before”.
What has worked well for the P&C:
• Zoom Committee Meetings (with excited students getting involved at home)
• Ongoing commitment from the committee members able to help whilst at
home
• Online ordering for the canteen
• Online raffles did amazing with a massive profit!
CHRISTMAS RAFFLES This was an electronic raffle drawn by Raffle Link.
Congratulations to the lucky winners of our Christmas Raffle:
BREAKFAST CLUB This has finished for 2020!!. A big thanks to Nic Hughes and to
Allison Heffernan for their ongoing support and donation throughout the year.
Thanks to a $1000 donation from Allison, the Breakfast Club has lots of supplies
for 2021!
CANTEEN Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers this year!. Looking forward
to seeing many more of you next year. We need volunteers 3 x days per week for
3 hours a day. All volunteers get a free lunch but better than that, you get to see
the smiles/joy of the students when they see their MAGS/DUGS in the canteen.
