It has been great getting back to something approaching normality in Term One of 2022. The QNetwork has also started to resume more of our typical activities and we even managed to have a face to face meeting. We provided volunteers for the Meet the Teacher’s night,  which included an outdoor barbecue this year. We fired up the barbie again at the Athletics Day and a special thanks goes out to Carolyn McCabe for leading these efforts. The school canteen needed volunteers this term and Michelle Patterson and her team have done an amazing job keeping the canteen buzzing.

After a successful event last year, the QNetwork will again be hosting a Wine and Cheese Night in Term Two. Please save the date of Tuesday the 17^th of May for the Wine and Cheese Night in the STEM centre. It is a great opportunity to socialise with other parents in a relaxed setting. Look out for more details when next term commences.

The QNetwork is eager to build an even stronger sense of community for the benefit of our students and the school community more broadly. One aspect to assist with this is the opportunity for parents to get to know each other, especially for those students and families who are new to the school this year or have joined during COVID times. We are looking for Year 7, 8, 9 parent volunteers to help coordinate a coffee catch up for the families in these year levels, some time in Term 2. If you have an hour to spare and are interested in getting involved, please contact Angela at angela.taylor@plan.org.au or on 0447 385 116.

Everyone is most welcome to get involved in the QNetwork, whether it is attending meetings, joining our volunteer list or turning up to our social functions. We hope to see some more of you soon and, if you have any questions, you can email us at qnetworkpfa@gmail.com

Thanks,

Ken Brown
