"Gazza's Goss: P&C TRIVIA NIGHT… A CLASS ACT!"

THE Mossman State School P&C is holding their KStar Trivia Night next Friday, May 27 which, apart from being an evening of family fun, will be an important fund raiser.

I’ll give you details shortly, but thought it would be an opportune time to showcase the P&C role and highlight some of the amazing volunteers who ensure students receive a quality education and facilities. 

Firstly, there’s the uniform shop run by Hayley Bender which provides convenient service for local families. They are constantly trying to improve the look of the students such as the recently revamped uniform, plus the introduction of their popular bama design sports shirts. 

Then there is the exceptionally well organised tuckshop proudly run by Miss Sally and Miss Jodi, open three days a week. They recently received a five-star Apple Rating from the Healthy Eats Program, achieved by having so many healthy and fun lunch options for both students and staff, including sushi bowls, tacos and salads. The tuckshop has also recently undergone a huge renovation.

One key task of the Mossman State School P&C is fundraising as although grants are often applied for, success is never guaranteed. One current project is building a new junior playground for the Preps to Year 2’s to enjoy. The existing playground is dilapidated and they are keen to provide the best for their hard-working students. The team are also hoping to upgrade their technology resources as the school population has vastly grown over the last five years from 205 in 2017 to 319 students today. While this is an amazing achievement, it does put pressure on resources, so the P&C wants to alleviate some of these issues. 

Back to next Friday’s KStar Trivia Night on May 27 to be held at Mossman Shire Hall from 6:00pm.The whole community is encouraged to get behind their ever-growing school and to enjoy a night of trivia, plus great food. To compliment the night further, there will be huge auction packs as well as awesome raffle prizes courtesy of incredible local businesses that have made the night possible. 

At just $10 per ticket and 10 to 12 people per table, teams can even order dinner and dessert, thanks to Junction Takeaway and Socially Sweet Cupcakes. 

You can book you tickets online now at  https://www.trybooking.com/BYYPD 

Tilly Melchert, P&C President and Classroom Teacher, would like to thank all volunteers, past and present and encourage any community members to get involved in the P&C. 

I’m off to do some homework, so for now it’s Gazza signing out.
