from Issue 2 2023
Thank you to those green-thumbed members in our community who purchased bulbs as part of the Parents and Friends’ annual bulb fundraiser. Over $1000 was raised by those eager to prepare for the 2023 spring flowering season.
Thank You For Your Support
Spring Bulb Fundraising Drive
The Parents and Friends’ are now preparing for their Term 2 fundraiser, our Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea on 7 May. The afternoon tea at the beautiful and historic Jacksons Hall in Braemar House will be a ticketed and seated event. Raffles and prizes will be offered, so start preparing for the event by gathering a group to enjoy an afternoon of high tea.
The afternoon tea will be conducted the week before Mother’s Day, allowing our P&F mums to be with their families on 14 May. Tickets are on sale via trybooking. https://www.trybooking.com/CHPAJ
Finally, the Multi-purpose Hall is out of the ground, with the shape of the roofline now clearly visible. The beautiful morning shot from our drone highlights the slanting roofline, with the exposed beams visible. Our P and F aim to outfit this building with solar panels and a battery storage system, and we are seeking your assistance. The anticipated system 11.5 kW system will consist of 36 panels. A tax-deductible donation of $550 supports one panel. Equally, why not gather friends and family to donate as a group? We will recognise the donors within the building. Ultimately we aim to provide young people with the ability to monitor the consumption and storage of electrical energy on the Woodend site.
In a separate effort, the College is working with local suppliers to place a large solar panel array on the roof of Brooksbank. This system will support the energy demands on our historic mount campus.
