Parents and Friends

The BIG Picnic – 3 May 2021 The P&F BIG Picnic finally took place after a couple of false starts due to COVID19. On a beautiful Labour Day, the P&F hosted over 300 St Aidan’s students, family members and pets at Ambiwerra. There was a sausage sizzle, gelati van, live music and lots of games of cricket, volleyball, badminton between students and parents. The fun-filled afternoon was enjoyed by all who attended, and so this Picnic will become an annual event where the whole School community can come together to enjoy some good old-fashioned fun and games in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. Lock in the Monday Labour Day in your diaries for the 2022 Picnic.

Junior School Movie Night The 2021 Junior School Movie Night was held in the CHC on Saturday 12 June. More than 300 people attended the screening of Ferdinand and enjoyed the free sausage sizzle, movie-style popcorn and fairy floss. Ticket sales covered the cost of the screen hire and movie licensing with donations from Coles and Woolworths providing the sausage sizzle. Decorations and movie snacks were kindly sponsored by Junior School families. The night was a wonderful family friendly event and we look forward to another in 2022. Thank you, Tara and Heidi!

Trivia Night – Dress for your Dream Holiday After a one-year hiatus, our legendary Trivia Night was back in May, with an impressive $37,000 raised. Monies raised went towards the Senior School drama production Alice In Wonderland, lighting and potted plants for the Link, lighting for S&T Centre and play equipment for Junior School. Nineteen tables of holidays makers turned up to play hard – the Bali Bogans, Monte Carlo High Rollers, Big Kahunas, Fitter Futures, to name a few. A huge thanks to all our helpers on the night.
