Thanks to the amazing efforts of our PTA President and all our parent class reps, our curry night was a fundraising success!
Not only did everyone have a fun evening, but we raised the money we needed to complete our soccer pitch project.
Now with the turf on order and in production in the Netherlands, the project – which kicked off during the last school year – is finally just weeks away and it is going to be an amazing addition to the school.
Not only will the children be able to play soccer or football – depending on which side of the pond you come from – the new artificial turf will be an all purpose grass area that can be used by all children. The more than 2000 sq ft of grass area will offer the children a place to run, jump and play safely during play time and Physical Education classes. Children from Preschool through Year Six will benefit from this new area, scheduled to be installed in January 2011.
Thanks to the amazing generosity of the parents and community supporters of the school during our curry night we were not only able to order the highest quality turf, but also some of the extras the children had on their wish list -such as new goals and nets to prevent balls from landing over the fence in the bushes.
So a big thank you to everyone who in every way helped to make this dream a reality.
