Good News: New CDFpay mobile app available to download

Columba will be using the new CDFpay mobile app for online canteen ordering, uniform shop, events, fundraising, and over-the-counter purchases at our school from the start of Term 1 2025. 

FLexiSchools is now on CDF Pay!

In 2025 you will no longer be able to use the Flexi Schools App.

To order lunches and any other items in the school, you will need to download the CDF PAY App! This will link the Flexischools Columba ordering site for canteen and lunch orders.

The great news is, anything you need to order or purchase is now in the one APP!

If we have any families that own a business that has large machinery to remove the big plants at the front of the school (infornt of the fence), please contact me

principal@bunyip.catholic.edu.au

We would like to clear much of that shrubbery but will need a significant machine to do it. It will be a paid job. 

Your help would be much appreciated.

Library Books Due

We still have 105 books missing from the library.

They are in your houses!

All Library books should now be returned to the library. Overdue slips/emails have been sent out. 

Thank you for your ongoing support in fostering a love for reading and learning in our school. It is wonderful to see how reading is loved amongst our students and the opportunity to borrow weekly. Now that borrowing has finished we have encouraged our students to visit the local library in Drouin, Pakenham and Warragul to borrow books or borrow from friends. 

Or please support our local book shops and opp shops.

Calling All Helpers!

Join the Bunyip Catholic

Parents & Friends Group in 2025!

Dear Bunyip Catholic School Families,

We're already looking ahead to an exciting 2025 school year! The Bunyip Catholic Parents & Friends Group (P&F) plays a vital role in supporting our school community by organizing events, fundraising activities, and volunteering for projects that benefit our students.

This year, we'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our dedicated P&F members who contributed their time and talents in 2024. Your efforts made a significant difference in enriching our school environment and fostering a strong sense of community.

Looking Forward to 2025!

We're gearing up for another fantastic year and would love for you to join us!

Here are just a few ways the P&F supports Bunyip Catholic:

• Organizing Fun Events: Contributing to a lively atmosphere and fun experiences for students and families. Limited by creativity!
• Fundraising Activities: Helping fund school resources, equipment, and special programs.
• Volunteer Opportunities: Meet new people, and gain new skills! 
• Building Community: We provide opportunities for parents and teachers to connect and build lasting relationships.

Are you interested in giving back and making a difference? Every bit of help makes a huge impact! If you'd like to be involved in the P&F for the 2025 school year, please don't hesitate to reach out to Andrew by replying to this email or sending him a message at principal@bunyip.catholic.edu.au.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Bunyip Catholic P&F team in 2025!

Columba will no longer be using the Bus to send children to Before and After School Care at Bunyip Primary School in 2025.

We ask that if you need before and after school care in 2025, you enrol your children at our new Before and After School Care with DS Sports

The brochure on how to enrol is at the bottom of this newsletter.
