I just wanted to remind everyone about the forthcoming events in August. There is the annual trivia night on Saturday 2August 2025 starting at 6.30 pm, with the first question at 7 pm sharp.  We would like to see as many parents/carers there as possible, especially those who joined Yeronga State High School this year. If you can’t make it on the night, you could buy some raffle tickets or volunteer to help with the setup during the afternoon. Please go to https://volunteersignup.org/EEJF3

The next P and C meeting will be on Monday, 11 August 2025 at 6.30 pm. This will be an online-only meeting and everyone is welcome. If you cannot attend the meeting but would like to become a member, please complete the membership form and return it to pandcyshs@gmail.com

Just a few days after the P and C meeting is the biennial event Yeronga Celebrates on Friday, 15 August. I hope to see you there.

Thank you.

STATIONERY STASH J: Donations needed now please

What is the Stationery Stash?: It is a trolley containing donated new or lightly used, good quality stationery supplies - for all students and staff to use as needed.

Donations needed year round please 

(only donate new or good quality slightly used items please)

Donation boxes are near Student Hub and at Admin reception

Items needed/ available:

Exercise books

            Grid books

            Visual Art diaries

            Pencils (lead and coloured)

            Pens (ballpoint in red, blue and black)

            Highlighter pens

            Erasers, sharpeners, coloured textas

            Whiteboard markers

            Calculators

            Rulers

            Pencil cases

Where: Outside Ms Haswell-Smith’s office near the Student Hub

When:  Monday to Friday during school hours

Why:  Some families struggle with the cost of book lists each year, while other families end up with an excess of stationery that may end up being recycled or dumped when it still has a lot of life left. It’s a win-win for these items to be donated and used as support for YSHS students & staff plus the environmental benefits of less going to landfill.

• Students may occasionally forget to bring an exercise book, or their pen runs out, and they can then quickly grab one from the Stationery Stash to use that day and have less disruption to learning
• New students may arrive with little to no stationery and can quickly get the essentials to avoid barriers to settling in and learning

Who: run by parent volunteers and SRC students with Ms Haswell-Smith

Please contact Jae (Olly P’s mum) if you have any questions jspinaze47@gmail.com

Soooooo – please check at home for stationery that needs a new home and let’s get the YSHS Stationery Stash up and running for everyone!
