P & C News
Hello PBSS families!
What an action packed term it's been with Father's Day, Book Week dress up, under 8's day, and the 50 for 50 inflatable fun day to name a few.
The P&C wish to send a very special THANK YOU to Billy Jaz of McGrath Real Estate Palm Beach for donating $1,300 to cover the cost of the food, drinks and ice blocks at the 50 for 50 fun day. We appreciate the support from our local community!
Another HUGE thank you to the fabulous P&C members and volunteers who offered their time to make this event come together and deliver it successfully on the day. Lots of sausage sandwiches handed out (thanks Chappy for the chef skills), plus poppers and ice blocks for the kids after they bounced their way through 50 minutes of blow up obstacle course fun to celebrate Palm Beach State School's 50th birthday celebrations this year. If you want to get involved in school events like this, please join the P&C! Details on how to join are at the end of this newsletter.
Latest Initiatives
The P&C have donated fund raising money for the purchase of new shade gazebos to ensure additional shade can be provided at our school outdoor activities. Keep an eye out for the blue Palm Beach State School branded gazebos at our next events.
New flag poles! Check out the new addition at the front of the school, thanks to efforts by the P&C and school Principal, Scott Anderson. Students have been enjoying raising the flags each day.
Upcoming Events
Book Fair - Week of the 21st October
The P&C are working with Scholastic on a Book Fair Week, enabling a hands-on experience where children have access to a wide choice of books and igniting a life-long passion for reading. More info to be shared soon.
Parent Engagement Survey
We invite parents to undertake this short survey to help us better engage with you. We are calling on more parents to join the P&C or simply volunteer at events. Let us know your ideas and feedback...get involved!
Call for donation
Our trusty P&C fridge is on the brink. We use this for events to store catering supplies for kids before the event. We are putting a call out to anyone that may have a large fridge, in good condition, they would be willing to donate to the P&C. Contact pandc@palmbeachss.eq.edu.au
