School Council

Drama Support Group

The Drama Support Group recently had some fundraising activities – one was a cake stall and sausage sizzle down Mostyn Street at which we raised just over $700. The second was selling food at the production of Little Shop of Horrors. Again, we raised just over $700.

This money will be used by the Drama team at CSC to add value to the program, and to buy items that fall outside of their budget. As the new drama room is currently being built, some of the fundraising may be used to buy items to ‘custom fit’ the rooms to our liking.

We’d like to thank Jenny Penrose and Tamsin Byrne for all their baking to support the fundraising, as well as Toggs Castlemaine, who most generously supplied tea and coffee at the Little Shop of Horrors performances.

Music Support Group

This group of volunteers helped to fundraise at the strings workshop at Buda, and then the Spring Recital, which was held later that day. We raised $650 for the music program. Look out later in the year when we will be having two more fundraisers: 4th November is a sausage sizzle and cake stall down Mostyn Street, and 17th November is our giant raffle and benefit gig at the Bridge Hotel.

Building and Grounds Sub-Committee

This sub-group of Council runs regular (maybe a bit irregular…) working bees at the school to help beautify and maintain the grounds. We have been tackling weeds for the last couple of years.

Thanks to the Department of Land Water Environment and Planning (DELWP), the gorse and blackberry infestations along the side of the road heading up to the front of the school have been treated. We will continue to treat the blackberry inside the school grounds, which results in a bonfire. Come along and help out on Sunday 15th October, 9.30am.
