P&F News and Events

Two more days until the 2012 Wyvern Christmas Party then 12 more days until school 2012 is completed.

As the countdown begins to the Annual Wyvern Christmas Party and we are all looking for something “colourful” to wear you start to realise that party season is in full swing. I would like to thank all the Kindy parents involved in the organisation and preparation of the Christmas Function – Kathy Burshtein, Camilla Wayland, Telma Baal, Paola McLeod, Karen Saupin and Emma Cope (Year 1). Organising an event like this is a huge task but hopefully has drawn the Kindy 2012 group closer together.

Due to finalisations of exams in Centenary Hall, Wyvern Christmas Party will take place in WYVERN HALL.

The raffle will be drawn on the night and the winners will be notified. There will be some great silent auction items such as a holiday house for a week and vouchers to an exciting new online fashion website called DressMe. The parents of Wyvern have donated these items and others such as beautiful wine, children’s toys and beauty vouchers. Huge thanks go out to them. Kick up your heels and have a dance with me.

SCHOOL FEES RAFFLE

On the 17^th November at the Seafood Night held at the Newington Boatshed, the Headmaster Dr Mulford drew the lucky winners of our School fees Raffle. The major prize winners were the Dive Family who will have a boy in year 12 next year. The four runners up who won vouchers to the Uniform Shop were Shane Sullivan, John Hartill, Margaret Leibowitz and Sascha Wooding. Congratulations to all the winners. We would also like to acknowledge all those that purchased tickets and thank you for your participation. The raffle was a great success and the funds raised are a wonderful boost to our fund-raising program, significantly exceeding our expectations.

POSITION AVAILABLE

We are still in need of a Uniform Shop Convenor. This position is a fabulous position to hold as it has all the social aspects and not a lot of responsibility!! If you’re willing to take on the position you will find it fun and exciting. Please contact Julie Gigg via email djgigg@gmail.com to discuss further. We are offering a 50% discount on school uniforms to the Convenor for their commitment to the shop. The position would require you to work one day per week in the shop – that really is only 2 hours a week and some help when pre-planning for the year.

MONOPOLY & GIFTS

The Newington Monopoly: Limited Sesquicentenary Edition is selling fast. Don’t forget to order before Christmas. $65 for a great present to fill in the long hours over the school holidays, click here for more information and order form. There is a limited amount of these specially designed boards being produced for Newington to Celebrate Sesquicentenary. Newington is the ONLY school in the Southern Hemisphere to engage in a project such as this. There are also cufflinks, ties and Newington history books available. Order yours for quick delivery to the Wyvern Office. The Wyvern uniform shop has soft Wyvern toys, basketballs and key rings for great stocking fillers.
