Connecting College and Community

WINNERS

Easter Egg Competition

Thank-you to everyone who participated in the Easter Egg Guessing Competition. This was enjoyed by students and a bit of fun to end the term, which raised $293.50 for Pacific Together. The exact number of 173 was not guessed. Two students, Emily, Year 4 and Henry, Year 6, both guessed 172. A name was then drawn from these two students, with the lucky winner being Emily. Henry will receive a small jar of chocolate eggs as the runner up.

Pacific Together is a care-based service offered by Friends of Pacific to College families in times of need. If you, or someone you know within our College community, needs extra support during the year, the Pacific Together care group may be able to help in some small way or offer a care package. Please contact Chaplain Mr Mark Hauser mhauser@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

If you would like to support the continuation of the care-based service through a financial contribution, we invite you to contact Pacific Together via email: fop@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

Volunteering at Pacific

This year, the College is streamlining the induction process by using a flexible delivery platform where volunteers work through the Volunteer Handbook, complete an electronic form, and upload relevant documentation. The Volunteer Handbook is accessible via the parent portal in Nav - Nav Community Links.

Volunteering has many benefits. You can make new friends, learn something new, and contribute to the community and your kids love to see you helping around the College. If you have ever thought about volunteering or becoming a part of Friends of Pacific, now is the time. There are so many exciting events on the 2024 calendar and the more people who are available to volunteer and support these events will ensure their success.

Hosting events is only possible thanks to the efforts of those in our College community who give so generously of their time.
