Connecting College and Community

Oh, what a night! Thank you to EVERYONE who supported ALOHA OCEANfest 2018. Friday’s event was a major success, bringing together our college and community for an unforgettable evening of fun, food and festivities. We especially acknowledge our festival partner, Dr Peter Miles from Newwave Orthodontics for sharing our vision and journey.

Whilst our final tally is being calculated this week, we would like to take this opportunity to thank some very special people.

To Mrs Teena Thompson and family – we thank you for your countless hours of organisation, preparation, phone calls, emails and so much more over the past six months as festival coordinator. Your hard work continues post event and we cannot thank you enough for your time, energy, patience, professionalism and positive approach. You are amazing!

To Mrs Bron Butler – thank you for your vision in the master plan layout! We’ve had so many positive comments from guests who said it was so much more than a fete! Thank you also for your time, patience, hard work, thorough approach and quick problem-solving skills so everyone could enjoy a fun, safe and exceptionally well-planned event.

Thank you also to our incredible team of Parent/Class Representatives and helpers, led by Mrs Tracey Hindmarsh. Each and every stall added to the success of the event and we thank you for your leadership and coordination.  

Thank you to our many sponsors and donors without whom this event would not be possible. Your support has been invaluable and we greatly appreciate your generosity.  

Finally, thank you to all the parents and staff who bought items for the cent auction, or baked a cake, handmade treats, to those who donated time or money, who brought their children, grandparents, friends and neighbours along… and enjoyed an August night under the stars at PLC.

We look forward to our next OCEANfest in 2020!!

But for now, heartfelt MAHALO from the 2018 OCEANfest Organising Committee xx
