Final Working Bee for 2023

Sunday 19th November 3pm-5pm is scheduled as the final school grounds working bee for 2023. 

We would love to see more parent volunteers at this working bee, so please pop your name down here if you can help – thank you! https://signup.com/go/EJxpOFP 

We have tools on-site or you are welcome to bring your own equipment. These working bees play a huge role in helping maintain and enhance the school grounds. 

Uniform Stall

Tuesday 12th December 2.45pm-4pm is the final second-hand uniform stall for 2023, coinciding with orientation day for the new incoming Year 7s. The uniform stall will operate outside the GEC library during this time. Cash and credit card accepted.

If you are in need of second-hand uniform and need some financial assistance, please contact Gabrielle Darvell, our Business Manager, in the GEC office.

The uniform stall relies on donations of pre-loved uniforms, newly washed in resaleable condition.  If you have any GEC uniforms available to donate, please drop them into GEC reception prior to this final stall date. Thank you.

GECPA is a formally constituted Parents’ Association which operates under the Model Constitution provided by the Department of Education. A link to the Constitution is available here: 

This all sounds very serious, however it is useful to know that these uniform guidelines are established, simple and apply to all Parents’ Associations. The Constitution covers things like Parents’ Association objectives, values, membership, meetings, democratic decision making and procedures. 

All members are encouraged to participate in activities and apply their individual talents. By being a registered member you are enabling a Parents’ Association to proactively support GEC in the best interest of all the children at GEC.
