PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Holy Spirit Community School,
Wow what a big 2 weeks with school camp, our amazing Fete and whole school production!!
Thank you to all our community for coming and supporting our annual fete! It was a beautiful and fun filled day! So amazing to see so many families and children there having fun! Thank you so much to all our volunteers who set up the Fete, worked on Fete Day at one of our amazing stalls and helped pack up on Sunday! Your work was invaluable in making Fete Day a huge success!
It was also amazing to see our students shine on the stage the past 2 nights! What a truly incredible and spectacular production! Well done to all the students on a great show!!
We are getting towards the end of the school year, and we really need to fill these roles below so our P and F Association can run in 2027!
Could You Be Our Next P&F Vice President, Secretary or Food Day Coordinator??
Our amazing Vice President, Secretary and Food Day Coordinator are finishing up at the end of the year, and we're looking for enthusiastic parents to join our wonderful P&F Association. These roles are very important and without them being filled we won’t be able to run our P & F in 2027!
Vice President – Support the President, work alongside a fantastic committee and help bring events and initiatives to life.
Secretary
-Attend all meetings and record proceedings of items discussed.
- Prepare and distribute an agenda one week prior to each committee meetings.
- Type and distribute minutes, via email, to all committee members within the week during which the monthly meeting takes place.
Food Day Coordinator- Organise/coordinate each Food Day (one- two per term) – including the printing and distribution
of flyers and reminder notices; collating orders; ordering food and drinks; ensuring there are
sufficient helpers on the day and co-ordinating the day. This role could be shared between two people!
These are rewarding volunteer roles that make a real difference to our school community. No previous committee experience is required, just a willingness, enthusiasm and eagerness to get involved!
If you'd like to learn more or are interested in either position, please speak to Georgette or any of our current P&F Association members. We'd love to have you on the team!
We are also on the lookout for General Members to join us. You can even come to one of our monthly meetings and see all the work we do behind the scenes, and how we run the P and F Association. We always welcome new faces and new ideas. If you have a passion and interest to help our school community and be involved in the fundraising/social side of the school, I would love to hear from you!
Have a fantastic fortnight!
Kindest Regards,
Georgette Di Manno
