Social and Fundraising 2021

A quick hello from the Social and Fundraising Committee, we have welcomed three new members to our team this year – Alejandra, Adelle and Belinda.  We have been working away behind the scenes to set our fundraising priorities and come up with some fun activities to run throughout the year.  All the events and activities are being planned with our goal of continuing to build a strong school community.

Social Events

This year we’ll be once again running our usual social event each term, along with a fun day for the kids. On top of this we’re looking at incorporating some extra fun activities that will allow people to meet up with other MTS family members.  These are likely to include things like Painting nights, biscuit decorating, a zumba party and wellness event.  Stay tuned for more information on these, if you have a special skill/interest and would like to run an event please get in touch.

Fundraising priority

We’ve been considering our fundraising priorities for 2021. After doing some consultation with school, committee members, Yr6 students and the people who attended our Wine and Cheese night in Term1 we have a key fundraising priority to implement a Sensory Walk.  Sensory Walks have many benefits to assist students in their school work as well as being great fun.  The Sensory Walk will be an activity that is accessible by all students and we're looking at having it located in indoor and outdoor spaces. We need to raise $4000+ to fund the first stages of the Sensory Walk. 

We’re also looking to fund some additional sports equipment for the school. 

We look forward to your support in reaching these goals. 

Behind the scenes

As well as working hard on all of the above we are also:

• Selling the Entertainment Book – you can buy your ‘online’ book and support the school.
• Set up the ReturnIt (Bottles and Cans) system - return your recyclable containers to the Fundraising account using the school’s phone number “0262415604”
• Running a Bunnings BBQ on Sunday 27^th June – put it in your diary now to come and buy a sausage and/or give us a hand.

If you’re interested in working with us to achieve some of these goals or have some great ideas we’d love to hear from you at MTSCommunityCouncil@mail.com. New people are always welcome to join our committee (no set time commitments) and at present we particularly need people who are great at engaging with sponsors & gathering donations.

Thank you!
