Terrace Ladies Group

Welcome to Term 4

As usual it is hard to believe we are on the wrap up of the school year with the commencement of the eight week Term 4. Despite it being a short term, there are many things happening on the TLG front. Here are a few to keep in mind.

• Inter-House Athletics Carnival – Tennyson  

Tomorrow our much anticipated Inter-House Athletics Carnival is on at Tennyson. As per previous years, we have a full canteen, which is always popular with the boys, and staff. Details on food and prices have been distributed via social media this week. A very big thank you to all the families who are contributing to this big day with home bake or hands-on behind the counter. It is a big team effort indeed. Please follow this link if you would still like to come along and help out but haven’t had a chance to put your name down yet.

• TLG Annual General Meeting - Appointment of Positions

The Terrace Ladies Group Annual General Meeting is coming up on Monday morning of Week 4, 29 October from 7.30am in the College Museum. All are encouraged to attend and to enjoy a delicious morning tea afterwards together. We will be reviewing the year to date, putting forward our table of events for next year and announcing the roles to be replaced for 2019. We will also be presenting the contribution towards Conor’s rehabilitation to Bec Tweedy from the funds raised at the Fashion Parade. 

• TLG Thanksgiving Mass – Friday 9 November 9.30am

A special event in the year is our Thanksgiving Mass in the Chapel of the Holy Family, followed by a celebration lunch for the Year 12 Mothers to be held at Gambaro Hotel and Restaurant. 

• Julie Quinn's Farewell Celebration

We are all sad to be saying goodbye to Julie Quinn at the end of this term. Julie's incredible dedication to our boys’ academic outcomes over the years has been something none of us have taken for granted. We have a wonderful chance to show her our appreciation with a fabulous send off celebration, which is set for 10am Saturday morning on 10 November at Tennyson. More details on this will be coming in the next few weeks.

• Long Lunch for Conor Tweedy

Tickets go on sale this coming Monday 15 October for the Tennyson Long Lunch to be held on Saturday 24 November to raise funds for the Conor Tweedy Foundation. Information on the event can be found on College Events via this link. Tables of 10 are to be purchased (no single tickets) at a cost of $600 ($60 per head). Please contact Kristen Esler | kristin_esler@bigpond.comor Simone Hiley | hiley@iinet.net.aufor further information. 

• Staff Christmas lunch – Wednesday 5 December 

The annual Staff Christmas Lunch is a wonderful celebration of our staff in appreciation for all their efforts and support of our boys throughout the year. The TLG hosts this directly through the generosity of our families with contributions of food, time, and monetary donations. More details on this will be distributed in the next few weeks, along with links to volunteer sign-on pages.

Good luck to our athletes on Friday.
