On Friday, 2 March the 秘色传媒 Parents' Association (SPA) hosted and welcomed our new Year 7 parents to the College community. Below is the speech from SPA President,
Carmel Musco:
Good evening everyone
On behalf of the 秘色传媒 Parents Association, which you will come to know as SPA, we welcome you all here tonight and look forward to being a part of you and your daughter’s journey through high school. SPA tonight commences your journey by hosting this Welcome Night to embrace all incoming Year 7 students and families into the 秘色传媒 Community.
SPA prides itself on hosting many social events, as well as actively fundraising throughout the year, to enrich your daughter’s education and complements the community spirit at 秘色传媒. For those of you who attended the Twilight Fair on Wednesday evening, this is an excellent example of the College and SPA working together to nurture this wonderful community atmosphere.
I stand here tonight as a very proud committee member to announce that SPA has successfully raised in excess of $150,000 over the past four years. These funds have contributed towards equipment and furniture for the newly opened West Wing, the dazzling new electronic scoreboard in the gym and a portable scoreboard, cabinetry for the new Second Hand Uniform Shop, decking outside the undercroft area. These are just a few of the current contributions, which follow previous generous donations to the College since SPA commenced in 1971. Team SPA is a dedicated and outstanding group of parent volunteers whose enthusiasm is contagious.
I thank all the Team SPA volunteers who have assisted with preparation for tonight’s event, and for all the unseen work completed in the background. You are what makes SPA a great committee. We also thank Tracey Grobbelaar and her fabulous team, Gaynor, the College staff and the Maintenance team for their continued support of our events and SPA.
We hope that over the next six years you see your daughters grow into empowered young women, as Team SPA continues to contribute to that growth by striving to fulfil the many wish list items for the benefit of all current and future students. Please continue to enjoy the evening and we look forward to entertaining you again at our future events.
Thank you,
Team SPA
