🌟P&C EXECUTIVE TEAM UPDATE - CASUAL VACANCY🌟

Join the Executive

There is currently a casual vacancy for the position of Vice President on the P&C Executive Committee.

Renuka Awadalla, our current President, has also advised the school community of her intention to step down from the role of P&C President at the November AGM.

At the end of this year, Tianya Chen will be stepping down from her role as Band Treasurer, as her family prepares to move on from Roselea. We would like to thank Tianya for the time, commitment and support she has given to the Roselea Band Program during her time in the role.

If you are interested in any of these positions, or would simply like to find out more about what the roles involve, please reach out to any member of the Executive Committee/Band Executive Committee for an informal chat.

GRANTS UPDATE

Great News for Roselea P&C – $4,900 Volunteer Grant! 🎉

Here’s where applying for grants pays off!

Roselea Public School P&C is delighted to announce that we have been awarded $4,900 through the 2025–2026 Volunteer Grants Program, administered by the Department of Social Services, with assistance from the Office of Dr Andrew Charlton MP.

Following our successful Expression of Interest and grant application, these funds will be used to purchase eligible items that help our wonderful volunteers carry out activities that support and enrich the development and wellbeing of our students.

We’d love to hear your ideas! If you have suggestions for how these funds could be put to good use, please contact the P&C or join us at our next P&C meeting where we will vote on and approve spending the cash for this grant money.

Our P&C relies on the generosity and involvement of our school community, whether that’s volunteering at events, supporting our fundraisers or contributing through the Annual P&C Voluntary Contribution on Qkr! Every contribution helps us continue providing opportunities, resources and activities for our students.

And if you come across a grant opportunity that you think Roselea P&C may be eligible for, please send it our way!

Thank you for your continued support in helping us enrich our school community. 💚💛

Kylie has been a wonderful supporter of the P&C and has always recognised the important role that parents, carers and volunteers play in our school community. We are incredibly grateful for the strong relationship she has fostered between the school and P&C, and for her willingness to work alongside us to help bring so many initiatives, events and improvements to life.

Most importantly, we thank Kylie for the care and commitment she has shown to our students and for her contribution to making Roselea the wonderful school community it is today.
