Terrace Ladies Group

Care and concern

Our thoughts are with the Thomas family during this very sad time. Kristyn Thomas, mother of Harrison in Year 5, passed away unexpectedly at the start of the school holidays. While her husband Pat and their three children, Harrison, Archer (Year 3) and Emma (four years old) have wonderful and loving support from their family and friends, the Terrace Family may be asked to assist the family at some time. We have offered assistance through our Care and Concern program and will be ready to send a call out to the College community indicating where that assistance can be provided when the family reaches out to us. In the meantime, keep the Thomas family close in your thoughts and prayers. 

Mothers’ retreat

On 6 August, the TLG have organised a wonderful morning for our mothers in the Pavilion at Tennyson as part of the annual Mothers’ Retreat. These retreats are traditionally focused on reflective programs like family/self help presentations and last year we had a relaxing morning of Tai Chi followed by a nourishing brunch by Kiss the Berry. 

This year, I am excited to invite you along for a morning of craft and precious time together. We are again excited to have our delicious brunch provided by Kiss the Berry after last year's amazing spread of fresh juices, fruit, cheeses and other amazing produce. More information will be emailed next week. 

Tennyson canteen

This term we are looking forward to a busy schedule of Rugby with some of the big games being hosted at Tennyson (Nudgee, Churchie and BGS). In conjunction with the Rugby Support Group, we are currently assessing the way the canteen and barbeque pit operate to see if there can be improvements made to enhance our customer service. Queue times, efficiency of food preparation and streamlined counter service are some of the aspects we are focusing on.

Of course, we rely heavily on our volunteer parents to assist in making game days the success they need to be and thank everyone for their ongoing support. To assist with your planning for this term’s Saturdays, we have created a roster with year levels nominated for particular weeks. I will put a reminder in the Terrace News for upcoming games and there will also be links sent out in the game day notice from the Sport Office.

Term 3 events

Below is a list of dates coming up this term. It is going to be a busy one as far as TLG activities go. Please make a note of those relevant to you, especially the year levels we will be seeking assistance from for the various occasions. Also note that the Terralicious Fashion Parade is on in Week 8. There will be information circulated in the weeks leading up to the day with more information and we will be sure to give ample notice as to when tickets will be going on sale. We don’t have that date yet but will advise as soon as we know. As with all these types of TLG events, the Fashion Parade will sell out very quickly, so be sure to pay attention to information as it comes out. 

TLG correspondence

If you are not on our mailing list but would like to be, please email our Secretary, Mrs Rachel McGahon, on terrace_ladies@outlook.com. Please also ensure that you save this email address into your contacts as it may find its way to junk mail.
