Calrossy P & F
Calrossy Anglican School Tamworth
Our light and Life
Parents and Friends Association
Calrossy P & F held its AGM last Tuesday 30 October. It was pleasing to receive reports of 2023 activities, raising a total of $52,675 to benefit students. Whilst small in number, our volunteers have assisted with many events including the Colour Run, Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day stalls, a Movie night, a welcome disco and selling of chocolates. Volunteers have also supported a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, the 2022 Golf Day, BBQ's for outside groups and the groundskeeping at Tamworth Rugby Park.
It was noted that funds have provided benefits including landscaping, lunch tables, Student Support, Supporter jackets, the Junior School Choir attending the IPSHA Music Festival, Secondary Students attending the “Stand Tall” event next week, support for high achieving athletes and the establishment of a food van on the William Cowper Campus. It was noted that the focus of the P & F has moved more to student support and less to infrastructure projects.
Outgoing President Russell Ison was acknowledged for his work over three years and we also passed a vote of thanks to other members of the 2023 Committee, including Cassie Carslake as Vice President.
The 2024 committee was elected as follows
President: Andrew Yeo
Vice President: Kate Randall
Treasurer: Jocelyn Goodfellow
Secretary: Michael Wilson
Junior School Representatives: Michelle Hobbs, Jodi McMahon
Secondary School Representatives: Mel Pearson, Kate Arndell, Bec Honeyfield
*We would like to include some Boarder Representatives, understanding that meetings are hard to attend.
In 2024 the P & F looks forward to continuing to provide benefits for students and encouraging the involvement of parents in the important link with the School. I personally thank the P & F for the role they play in the life of the School, connecting parents, supporting various initiatives and for the collegiality that has been encouraged through working together to support students. I look forward to the welcome events next year.
