P&C Update

P&C update Term 3, Week 6

Term 3

Firstly we would like to thank the school for opening up and allowing parents to be more involved in our children's schooling. Many of our P&C members were excited to come along and attend the Athletics Carnival, and are looking forward to the Book Week Parade. 

The P&C has been very busy behind the scenes this term. Working with the school leaders and the school executive, we are excited to share that the P&C has voted to provide $10,000 towards the infants playground markings, along with the school providing $10,000. The P&C is continuing to support the school leaders in fundraising the final $2,500 through an upcoming cake stall, and a spare change challenge in Term 4. 

Behind the scenes, the P&C is providing gifts for all the SASS staff (School Administrative and Support Staff) to thank them for their hard work in supporting our school, students and families. 

Members of the P&C also have the opportunity to be involved on a selection panel when new staff are hired through merit. Being on the panel gives you the privilege of seeing behind the scenes how the school works, and how hard school staff work in various and diverse roles.
