January 2015 Family Fun Fair @ Senior School Saturday, 28 March 2015 (12noon – 9pm) Term 1, 2015 Welcome! Welcome to the 2015 school year and a particularly warm welcome to all the new families starting at the College. We look forward to meeting you and seeing you at the many events the Parents and Friends Committee will be organising throughout the year. For those new to the College, or maybe a gentle reminder for everyone else, the P&F is a voluntary organisation run by an energetic and fun group of parents that support the College in the promotion of generosity, community and hospitality. Through the hosting of events and fundraising initiatives all monies raised is donated to the College for various core projects, as guided to the P&F by the Senior Leadership members of College staff. Hillary Clinton has said that “it takes a village to raise a child” and the P&F’s version of that is “it takes a community to create a Fair”. Fairs and Fetes are very different from the ones we may have enjoyed when we were young and at school. No longer is it possible to purchase the delicious homemade jams and hand knitted baby items - and communities change too. The frantic pace of life often makes it difficult to find time beyond the immediate tasks of work and family, let alone consider volunteering. However, our past Fairs have proven that this event is a much loved one with many people willing to commit to the success of it. We are in no doubt that 2015 will once again be the “Best Fair Ever”! It is not too late to contact the Fair Committee and offer your assistance or ideas in readiness for the 2015 Family Fun Fair. Please feel welcome to email us at: [email protected] We warmly welcome parents of the School’s community from IEY to the Senior School and not forgetting the Junior School in the middle! If you would like to undertake an active role in your child’s school, either as a member of the Committee or as a volunteer at our events, please feel welcome to contact Susan Dodson (President) at [email protected] Diary Dates for 2015 Friday, 20 February New Parents Welcome Evening Saturday, 28 March Family Fun Fair @ Senior School Friday, 7 August – Sunday, 9 August Art Show @ Junior School Sunday, 8 November Sevenhill Christmas Picnic Wednesday, 25 November P&F AGM The above events are the “biggies” for the year.

We would encourage you to read the weekly edition of The Ignatian to find out further information about everything and anything! Warmly Members of the Parents and Friends Committee.
