LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO! CAN YOU PLEASE LEND US A HAND?!
With the Ascot Long Lunch coming up on Saturday 30th August we are looking for volunteers!
Although we won’t require any help throughout the event (so that everyone can kick their heels up and enjoy the day) we are looking to create a “volunteer army” of helpers to come along first thing in the morning to help set everything up. Our plan is to have many helpers so that we can smash out the set up quickly and that way leave plenty of time for everyone to go home and get ready for the event.
We will also be looking for helpers to assist with the pack up at the end of the day so there’s a range of volunteer time slots available and hopefully something to suit everyone.
The P&C has done most of the organising for the behind the scenes things but we will need man power on the day to help it all come together.
We understand that with it being on a Saturday, families may have other sport commitments etc however the volunteer slots are only 1 hour long with a range of times available so hopefully you should be able to find a slot that will work around your schedule.

So far around 5% of families have completed our school survey and your insights have already been incredibly valuable! But we want to hear from everyone to ensure the whole school community is represented and has a say. Therefore we've extended the deadline to tomorrow, Monday 25 August, so there's still time to share your thoughts.
- It’s quick, easy and different from the Department of Education’s School Opinion Survey
- Tell us what you love about Ascot SS
- Share ideas on what could be even better
Your voice will help shape the strategic direction of our school. Let's plan the future together!
The Father's Day Stall will take place on Thursday 4th September. For those new to the school, this takes place during the day on the undercover games court where students are brought down by their teachers to select their Father's Day gift bags from the stalls.
This year we have a whole new range of awesome gifts available and you are welcome to purchase as many as you would like. All gift bags are $10 each and are only available for purchase in advance on Flexischools (we will be unable to accept cash on the day).
All funds raised go straight back into our school, so please jump onto Flexischools now to purchase a present for your Dad, Grandfather, Uncle or for that special person in your life that you celebrate Father's Day with.
We are also looking for volunteers to help out on the day with packing the gift bags and helping the children choose their special gift. If you’re able to lend a hand, please sign up via the link below.
Celebrate and mark the moment by leaving a lasting legacy with a Commemorative Plaque.
Each beautiful bronze plaque includes your family name, years at Ascot and a quote or family motto and will create a timeless tribute displayed near the Admin Building to inspire future generations.
All funds raised contribute to the Ascot Building Fund (and it's tax deductible!) helping maintain and enhance our school’s learning spaces for years to come.
Order yours today: https://forms.gle/unVHKys3788EsxDU9
Let your family's time at Ascot be remembered – now and always.
