My aim for this day was to encourage most of the staff and students in the Senior School to wear crazy, mismatched socks to school, as well as raise more than $500 for my chosen charity. I am happy so say that both of these goals were definitely achieved, making the outcome of my Project a success.
This weekend, I will be donating the $556.50 that was generously donated by all of the partakers to the Guide Dogs QLD organisation, so they may continue with all the amazing work they do in helping the visually impaired.
Needless to say, this was an incredible learning experience. I learnt copious amounts in regards to the most effective ways to advertise in/around the school, as well as developing my planning and organisation skills to an unbelievable extent.
Despite this event becoming quite stressful at times – certainly on the day – I was able to see Crazy Sock Day finally be transposed from pen and paper, into a marvellous reality.
A very special thank you to the lovely mothers pictured, Suzi Costello (middle) and Elly McLean (left) who organised the annual P&F Mothers' Day event.
The fashion parade (by Sonia Stradiotto Couture) showcasing mostly Somerset mums was exquisite. Many guests left with fabulous prizes and, at the very least, a sumptuous bag of gifts.
Mark your diaries, the Somerset Ball is to be held 4 August and you won't want to miss a ticket to that event.
If you are interested in getting involved with the P&F, please send us an email here or come along to our next meeting.
We want to find out what is important to our Somerset parents. What Parents Want - an Independent Schools Queensland Survey examines the decision-making process parents undertake when choosing a school, including:
We urge all parents of Pre-Prep, Prep, Year 7 and new students to complete this valuable survey. It should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Click here to take the survey.
It is of great importance we, as a College understand how and why parents make such decisions. The results will provide a framework for us to continue to meet the needs of our parents, while giving a strong basis on which to formulate strategy and decision-making in the future.
All school students from age six, of all abilities, were invited to compete at the recent 36th annual QA All Schools Cross Country Championships which were held at Rivermount College.
A special mention must also go to the following student athletes (age, rank in Qld):
These student athletes truly tested the tough Rivermount course.
Well done and good luck at the Queensland All Schools Cross Country Relay Championships!
