PFS Report
T
he 2013 PFS committee is an
enthusiastic group who enjoy organising
activities to raise funds to be able to
provide for those “extras” around the
school. Once again we ran dances for the years
7/8, 9 & 10. These are always well supported by
the boys. Many thanks to Karen McAuliffe for
providing disco lights and our regular DJ, Fraser
McMillan, who kept things rocking along.
Tania Dennis runs the well-stocked 2nd hand
uniform shop and this year we contributed
$1,000 towards new books and magazines for
the library.
Diane Start managed the Entertainment Book
sales and we had many repeat sales, managing
to make a profit of $1,500.
Deborah Wright and Felicity Hislop took up the
challenge to resurrect the annual SBC Quiz
night. With the help of Alan Smith & Jo Walker
they secured a long list of sponsored and spot
prizes. We sold over 20 tables and it was an
enthusiastic and competitive evening. Thanks
to Cycle Science for donating a mountain bike
which we raffled helping us raise a total of
$3,000 on the night.

The annual Garage Sale in November was well
supported by parents and students- everyone
having a good clean out during the previous
holidays. The day dawned fine (which is always
a relief) and with plenty of sales banter from
the committee and helpers we sold lots of toys,
books and clothes. The sausage sizzle was ably
run by Graeme Josephson & Jeanette QuillWilcock. Virginia Dicken and Sharon Craig did a
sterling job selling plants, sweets and tickets to
our annual Christmas raffle. Thanks to Patricia
Pynenburg for donating a beautifully iced
Christmas Cake as the main prize in the raffle.
I would like to thank the committee as well
as Brenten Higson(staff rep on the PFS) for
the time and effort they give to PFS activities
and meetings. Special thanks also to Michael
Start for being the official photographer at PFS
events and lending an extra hand whenever
needed. Thanks also to head boy, Matthew
Dicken, who was an avid promoter of the PFS to
students. Finally, many thanks to the parents and
caregivers of the boys from St Bernard’s College
– your support is what makes it all worthwhile.
Elizabeth Josephson.
