Second Hand Uniform Sale

St Justin's will be holding a second hand uniform stall next Friday 23rd February and would appreciate if you had any second hand donations to be placed in the bucket outside the staff room  .

All money raised from the 2nd hand uniform stall will be used to support excursions and incursions throughout the year. 

The Parents And Friends Committee (P&F)

The Parents and Friends Committee (P&F) is an active and friendly group of mums and dads who meet once per month to plan ways to support the school. The P&F provide financial assistance through fundraising, as well as supporting the school community via various services and social events. Joining the P&F is a great way to get involved, be informed about the school’s direction and events, and meet other parents. Members are welcome to come to as many or as few meetings as their schedule allows, or to just help out when able. We encourage a strong membership base which means we can be very flexible with volunteering. 

Ideally, the P&F consists of President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Social and Fundraising Sub-Committees, Maintenance and Development Coordinator (and assistant), Class Representatives for each class and Fair on the Hill Representative. The P&F:

• assume responsibility for organising social and fundraising events.
• meet monthly, where all parents are welcome to attend to help with St Justin’s community events (meetings are a wonderful opportunity for parents to suggest new ideas and volunteer – they usually end with a coffee, enabling parents to get to know one another)

In the past, the calendar of events has included, but not limited to, a number of fundraisers and school community activities, including:

• Parish Fair
• Mothers’ Day Stall
• Fathers’ Day Stall
• Hot Cross Buns
• Easter Raffle 
• Bunnings BBQ
• Election BBQ
• Athletics Carnival
• Trivia Night
• Kiosk Friday
• Special Lunches
• Open Day
• Sausage Sizzle
• Christmas Carols
• School Art Show

Our first meeting will be held next Tuesday, 20th February 2018 at 7:30 pm in the Staffroom and should run for no longer than 1 hour - we then follow up with a light supper. Our intention is not to have a few people doing many things, but to have many people doing a few things. 

We have attached the role descriptions of various positions for your consideration.

We would love to see you there.
