P & C News
AGM 17 March, 5:00pm ( general meeting 5:30pm)
All welcome!
Did you know that as a parent of a student at our school, you are not automatically a member of the P&C? For P&C’s throughout the nation, to become a member you must first attend a general meeting (these are typically held on the third Wednesday of each month during school term) and present your membership application form in person, which is approved at the end of that meeting.
This means that should an issue arise during the school year which you feel strongly about, and you are not yet a member, you will not be able to vote on the matter until you have attended a general meeting first… i.e. you will qualify to vote at your second meeting.
The Annual General Meeting is the only meeting where a person may apply to become a member without being present.
We are fortunate at Palm Beach State School to have a P&C Assoc. and school administrators who take a consultative and cooperative approach. To become a part of the process and ensure you’ll have your say, please either join us at our AGM, or submit a membership application beforehand. Forms will be available at both the school website and the office, and you should receive a form home with your child this week. Alternatively, please contact us anytime at pandc@palmbeacss.eq.edu.au.
Book Club
Issue 2 flyers will be sent home this week with each student. Did you know you can order Book Club products through the Scholastic LOOP app? Download for FREE at the App Store or Google Play, follow the steps to register, place order and make secure payment – there’s no need to return the Order Form to school!
By purchasing books through Book Club the school receives 20% to spend on resources for the school! Please ensure you place your order by Wednesday 8th March.
Short on time?
Want to help out but don’t have time? Busy parents don’t forget that even if you can’t volunteer your time in Tuckshop or at fundraising events, you can still help out by buying a coffee at school drop off, or ordering a meal deal for your child on special days. Every little bit counts, and your contribution helps to ensure the survival of a quality Tuckshop at Palm Beach.
The Farmers Shed
The Farmers Shed is now open on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2:15 – 3pm and on Friday mornings from 8:15 – 9:15am. Have you got any costume jewellery or watches (that are in good condition/not broken) that you no longer need? We’d love to see them donated to The Farmers Shed for us to sell! All funds raised go back to the school! Pop by and see our wonderful volunteers Samantha and Bazil.
Kind Regards,
PBSS P&C Executive committee
