August School Council (SC) Meeting Highlights

  • In addition to the Principal’s Report, we received updates from 8 out of the 10 subcommittees that had met prior to this meeting. 
  • Jasmine and Anika represented Junior School Council (JSC) and informed us about their successful fundraising efforts after the most recent dress up day (donations going to Holy Fools) and cupcake day (donations will go towards the Gaga Pit). They also shared their collective concerns about the amount of rubbish in the playground and are looking at ways of reducing this. 
  • The school recently received a donation of books to the library from a State Member for Eastern Metropolitan Region and a letter of encouragement from Michael Sukkar MP to apply for a grant from the Local Schools Community Fund. 
  • Three policies were passed after being reviewed at the Education Sub Committee.
  • CHAPS and MOTHS continue their great work with numerous school community activities upcoming and updating us on their fundraising success from past events.
  • The Publicity and Communications team have been busy preparing the Annual CHPS Whole School Survey which is open to all families to provide feedback about CHPS until September 13th.
