School Disco - Tomorrow Night, Friday 27 June.  The students only social event of social events - the School Disco  - is only one sleep away! 

A big thank you to Caitlin and Erin, members of our Parents Association, who have planned a fun event for our children.  

While waiting for your children, you are most welcome to join other parents in the staff lunchroom for a coffee and chat.  

Has the School Disco sparked some ideas for fundraising and social events?  Would you like to participate in meetings that aim to support your school?

The invitation is always open to join the Parents Association (PA).  Your ideas and help will be most appreciated.  Time poor?   We hear you!  Life is so very busy.  With the level of commitment solely up to you, you can be a member of the PA and join in on events that suit your schedule.  Please email MullumParentsAssociation@gmail.com for more information

What is the Parents' Association?

Parents’ Clubs (alternatively called Parents’ Associations) promote the welfare of, and provide support to, the school and its community. Parents are key partners in their child’s learning. By interacting with the school and other parents, parents’ club members can use their skills and experience to work collaboratively with others in supporting the school and its students and build a sense of community within the school. You can read more about Victorian Government school parents' clubs here:

Why join Mullum PA?

Joining the PA as a registered member means you will actively contribute to the wellbeing of the school community by participating in the life of the school. It's a great opportunity to meet other families through the organisation of social events, and raising funds for the direct benefit of the school. By being a member of the PA, you will have regular opportunities for two-way flow of information and discussion between the parents' club, principal, other school staff and school council so you can stay informed and contribute to school proposals. Joining the PA at or prior to the Annual General Meeting means that you will have voting rights at the Annual General Meeting.

What is the time commitment?

Joining the PA as a registered member is free, and your level of involvement is entirely up to you. As a member, you will be invited to attend committee meetings occurring approximately monthly during the school year. At least 3 members need to attend a meeting to meet quorum. All members are notified of the date of a PA meeting at least one week before.  To best meet community needs, meetings can be held in person or via teleconferencing at a time that suits (e.g. after hours).  

If you are one of three elected office bearers (President, Treasurer, Secretary), your responsibilities are outlined here: https://www.parentsvictoria.asn.au/toolkit/committee-office-bearers-overview/ General committee members will also be sought. These committee positions are for one year, and declared open again for nomination and election at the Annual General Meeting.

How do I join Mullum PA?

You can join by completing the official form approved by the Minister, which is available at the school office or downloadable here. Forms can be returned to the office, at the Annual General Meeting or emailed to mullumparentsassociation@gmail.com
