P & F Meeting

Thanks to all who joined in the meeting. We hope next meeting will be in person however we will still let people Zoom in if we can.

The meeting discussed some fundraising ideas including pie drive, in school disco & dress ups, raffles, walkathon and perhaps a wine tour. We will go ahead and organise an 'in school' disco in student cohorts for Friday 11^th March with 'Rainbow' as the theme (more details in this newsletter). We will also organise the annual Pie Drive again.

Our goal is to use school discos to subsidise swimming & excursions cost and other fundraisers to finish the hall sound system, screen & projector. We are also looking to upgrade our shade sail and we will try and attract a Veolia Mulwarre Grant for that project.

Keep you eye on Compass & the school newsletter for P&F news.

School Community Council

We have had 5 new people who have put their hand up to join the SCC. Thanks to Lauren Egan, Gemma Loberg, Deviga Vengedasalam, Scott Martin & Jennifer Keast for showing their interest.

At the first meeting matters discussed were the Role of the Community Council, growing enrolments, school finances, maintenance needs and the need for a building programme to up-grade the main building and getting better traffic flow in the school car park.

School Playground

The area where we place our school rubbish is very messy. We are looking for someone to fix the brick work in that area (and are happy to pay someone for this job). We are also looking for volunteers to whipper-snip a section of fence line and clean it up. Then we will try and get the fences fixed, especially in the area along Prince Street. If anyone has any time to volunteer it would be much appreciated. I hope we can run an “official” working bee later in the year.
