PTA Involvement
Thank you to the families that attended the PTA morning tea, Friday 21st July. We discussed providing information quantifying how individuals can assist. The more people we have involved in the PTA, the more we can achieve, and the smaller the individual commitment. Please consider if you can join, to help generate momentum heading into 2024. The commitment can be as large or small as you can manage – from volunteering for specific events or driving them. No experience is necessary, just a current Working with Children’s Check. Please refer to the table below as a guide to involvement (more events have been run in the past and can be added if there are people to coordinate them).
| Event/Role | Involves | Rough Estimate of Time commitment |
| Special lunches | Generating flyer, collating orders, organising supplies/communicating with vendors, coordinating volunteers/schedule | 10 hours/term |
| Hot Cross Bun drive | Advertising, coordinating with supplier, collating orders, distribution | 8 hours |
| Mother’s & Father’s Day | Selection/ordering/receipt of goods, class allocation, advertising, organising raffle, coordinating volunteers/schedule | 12 hours per event |
