Stella Newsletter

AGM and Trivia coming up!

Clare Cahill

P&F President

We are reaching the halfway mark of Term 2, and there are just a few things left to round out the term.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what’s coming up:

Important Dates to Remember:

  • P&F General & AGM Meeting – Thursday 5 June - Time: 7.30pm

  • Trivia Night Friday 13 June

SOLD OUT - Stella P&F Trivia Night

Thanks to your incredible support, tickets for our 2025 Trivia Night have officially sold out!

We're now shifting our focus to fundraising, and we need your help. Funds raised on the night will be donated to the Raise the Roof program. Funds raised will go towards creating a fantastic space. Funds will support the fit-out of the fourth-level outdoor function space, which will be utilised by students, as well as for parent and alumni functions. While the exact donation amount is still under discussion and will be covered in the AGM, the P&F hopes to make a generous contribution with your support.

We’re Still Looking for Prizes!
Help us supercharge the night’s fundraising by donating a prize for the raffle or silent auction. We're after:

• Gift items
• Gift cards
• Services or experiences

Every donation makes a difference!
