Blog is back up!

Hi everyone,

The blog is back up again and you can email me (jaq.s@internode.on.net) or darlo.parents@hotmail.com if you would like any notices put up.

Some recent events:

Trivia Fundraiser
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who organised and participated in the Trivia Fundraising night in August.

The S&C raised over $4,400, which is fantastic, and we all had a great night as well.

October Fete
We are working on holding a fete in October, and we are looking for volunteers. If you can help in any capacity please email darlo.parents@hotmail.com.

New S&C Office Bearers
The S&C Committee AGM was held on 14 September and some positions changed hands. Although I am new I am sure the rest of the committee would want me to pass on their thanks to the outgoing President Nick Vanos for all his hard work over the last few years and I am sure he will still be around to help organise events.

I am still checking contact details to post but the current positions are:
President: Pete Wilson
Treasurer: Jen Burn
Secretaries: Anna Butler, Liz Potter and Suzy Pickles

New School Website
The website has had a major revamp and looks amazing. Check it out at www.darlington-p.schools.nsw.edu.au

Dates and Reminders

• School starts back Monday 10th October
• Next S&C Meeting is Wednesday 12th October
• Darlington Aftercare AGM is on Tuesday 11th October at Aftercare at 6:15
• Don't forget the form and $40 to participate in the 'Sport Schools in Australia' program this term.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

Also, on Monday morning at 8:45am the S&C will be holding a Tea and Tissues's for the new kindergarden parents in the teachers staff room. If parents of 'old' student would like to attend and provide their 'moral' support that would be much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update to ensure you are hanging tough as we make our way through the 4th Term, with Xmas and the long summer break in sight.

I hope you have enjoyed reading the new Darlington Post. It's a great addition! I'd like to pay special thanks to the team that put it together. From those parents who volunteered to write the class reports, the teachers that assisted with the content, artwork and photos, and lastly to both Rae and Suzy who co-ordinated and designed the publication, spending many hours to ensure that it would be well read and enjoyed by everyone. Many more to come.

We had a successful Cake stall at the Eveleigh Markets. Again it was well received. To those who volunteered and contributed to its success, I thank you !

If you can all put next Wednesday, 3rd November, in your diary as the next S&C meeting. To start @ 6pm in the teachers staff room. Look forward to seeing you there.

Nick

The S&C Garden Committee will be holding a "A Gluttonous Garden Store" on the election day this weekend Saturday the 21st August.

We are looking for donations of Plants, home made Jams, Pickles and Chutneys to help raise funds for the continued development of the school garden. Also if you have any small empty glass jars you could donate they would be much appreciated.

Food stuffs will need to be labeled with a description and the ingredients. (ie Strawberry Jam -strawberries, sugar and lemon juice) If you need help with this please let me know.

Please leave plant donations in the garden court yard and glass jars and jam donations in the school kitchen (I will leave a box clearly marked in the centre kitchen unit)

Thanks kindly
