Fathers’ Dinner Wine tree raffle – can you help?
P&F need your help to grow the wine tree for the 2025 Fathers’ Dinner!
Do you have a nice bottle of wine sitting at home looking for a great cause to be donated to? Don’t have a bottle to donate but would like to help with a Dan Murphys gift voucher? If so, the P&F Association would love to hear from you.
You can choose to donate anonymously or have your name displayed with your contribution. On the night of the Fathers’ Dinner, all the wine will be offered via a live auction.
Donations can be delivered to the Development and Community Office by a parent or guardian between the hours of 9am and 4pm during the school week. Please note that students are not permitted to deliver wine tree donations.
If you would like to support the wine tree, please contact the P&F Association via p&f@stmargarets.qld.edu.au or (07) 3862 0825. Please drop off your bottle (or bottles) by Tuesday 19 August.
Final tickets remaining - Professional Women’s Network - Featuring Jane Palfreyman ('94), Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer, SBS
As SBS celebrates its 50th anniversary, the national broadcaster stands as a case study in strategic reinvention, demonstrating how bold leadership, digital innovation and deep consumer insights, can future proof an organisation by setting, rather than following the rules.
Join us as Jane Palfreyman (‘94), Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer at SBS, shares how the company has defied the odds to maintain commercial success and cultural relevance while boldly redefining what it means to be a public broadcaster.
From the rise of SBS On Demand to award-winning advertising campaigns, Jane will explore the strategic decisions that helped transform SBS into one of Australia’s most trusted and distinctive media brands.
Drawing on her own journey from St Margaret’s to today, Jane’s presentation will offer valuable insights for leaders focused on navigating change in a rapidly shifting landscape
