The launch of the ¹ú±êÂé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPP Annual Appeal is an exciting time. Technology has meant that we don’t often see staff stuffing envelopes these days, but the office has been a hive of activity as large numbers of envelopes have been prepared for posting, filled with donation slips detailing how and why you can donate.

Anyone interested in making a donation to our Annual Appeal and wanting further details is welcome to contact the fabulous Adina Rabbone on Adina.rabbone@carmel.wa.edu.au – Adina is covering the Philanthropy role while Jacinta Sirr-Williams is on parental leave. I thank you in anticipation of your generosity, which enables us to continue to provide an excellent education to the students of ¹ú±êÂé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPP.

As I write this post, I am looking forward to tonight’s IPSHA performance – our Primary School performers have been at St Hilda’s all day and I can’t wait to set off for Mosman Park later this afternoon. The ¹ú±êÂé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPP performance is always a fantastic addition to the event and seeing our little stars on the big stage is great for staff and parents and a brilliant, exciting learning experience for the children. I shall undoubtedly have sore hands tomorrow morning from clapping wildly and I shall fail to sleep again as a result of the adrenalin, but it will be worth it.

Shabbat shalom.
