A Guide to P & C Activities

 

The P & C meets each month on the first Wednesday of the month, at 7.30pm in the school library.

 

The P & C would warmly welcome new members, mothers and fathers, who would like to participate further in the education of their children and the well-being of the school. It is also an excellent way of becoming familiar with the running of the school and a great opportunity to get to know other parents as well as the teachers. It is also a means by which you can have a say in how moneys raised are spent in the school.

 

The P & C is also responsible for the following services:

 

The Canteen operates each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Children obtain lunch bags from the canteen. Please write on the bag your child’s name, class, order and price. Place the money in the bag. The bag is placed in a container kept in each hat room in the Kindergarten to Year 2 classes. In Years 3 to 6, the children take their lunch orders directly to the canteen before 9.30am.

Price lists are reviewed regularly and sent home with the newsletters.

A co-ordinator is paid to manage the canteen but relies on mothers to help. All profits go back to the school so it provides a great service for your children. If you can help, please fill in the form when it is sent home requesting help.

 

The Clothing Pool has cheap, clean school clothing available for sale. Access to the clothing  pool is available through the front office.

 

Family Contributions are reviewed at the first P & C meeting of the year. The P & C sets an amount to cover each child so that the amount of fund raising carried out each year is kept to a minimum. This money goes directly to the P & C accounts.

The contribution can be paid in one whole payment or, alternatively, in instalments. A note will be sent home early in the year after the amount has been set.

 

Text Book Sales: The P & C assists the school by manning the stall to sell the K-6 textbooks during the first weeks of Term 1.

 

School Banking: Parents have taken on the role of bank tellers for student banking. The P & C is paid 35c per transaction. The parent volunteers are trained to use the school computer to enter the banking transactions.  They bank the money and enter transactions on the children’s bankbooks. The bankbooks are collected on Tuesdays and the parents do the banking on Wednesday mornings.

 

Volunteers are welcome to join the team.
