At Ayr State School, we are incredibly fortunate to have a dedicated and hardworking Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) that continues to go above and beyond to support our students, staff and wider school community.
Our P&C may be small in numbers, but they are certainly mighty in their efforts! Behind the scenes, this wonderful group of volunteers generously gives their time, energy and enthusiasm to make a real difference to our school. Their commitment is a wonderful reminder that great things happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose.
On Saturday, 14th November, our P&C will once again host their much-loved Cent Sale, a long-standing tradition that has become an important event on our school calendar. This annual fundraiser is not only a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together, enjoy an afternoon of fun and perhaps take home a prize or two, but it also plays a significant role in raising valuable funds for our school.
Events like the Cent Sale don't just happen. They require countless hours of planning, organising, collecting donations, preparing prizes and coordinating the many little details that make the day a success. Much of this work happens quietly behind the scenes, often by the same dedicated volunteers who continue to put their hands up year after year.
The funds raised through the efforts of our P&C help us provide additional resources, opportunities and experiences that enrich the learning and school life of our students. Their contributions make a genuine and lasting difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they do.
What makes our P&C so special is not simply the money they raise, but the sense of community they help create. They demonstrate the importance of generosity, teamwork and giving back, setting a wonderful example for our students.
As we approach this year's Cent Sale, I encourage our wider Burdekin community to get behind this fantastic event. Whether you attend, donate a prize or simply spread the word, your support helps ensure this wonderful tradition continues for many years to come.
To our amazing P&C volunteers, thank you. Thank you for the hours you give, the enthusiasm you bring and the unwavering support you show our school. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and our school is a better place because of you.
At Ayr State School, we often say that it takes a village to raise a child. We are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful village behind us!
