2022 team

New council members

We would like to welcome three new members to the School Council team this year. Thank you to Lainey Kwok, Abidishakur Adam and Joseph O’Shea for your commitment to our school community.

We are putting out a call to all community members to sign up to one of the sub-committees - FUNdraising; OHSC; Buildings and Grounds; Policy and Finance. The sub-committees are a great way to contribute to our wonderful school and also to make new friends.

FUNdraising

Our FUNdraising team are busy coming up with some creative ways to offer extra resources and exciting spaces for our kids, while having fun too! Our fabulous team raised more than $1,000 at our Block Party sausage sizzle! Contact Lainey to join or for more information Laineylo@gmail.com

OHSC

Our after hours school care team are working with Big Childcare to ensure our kids are cared for in an inviting and comfortable space. Contact Ruben Meltzer to join or for more information nameinwhite@gmail.com

Policy Subcommittee

The SHPS Policy team meets twice per term, usually on a Friday morning after drop off. Please come and join us for a coffee and chat this year as we develop our policies for Digital technologies; Inclusion and Diversity; Homework; and Student Wellbeing and Engagement. Contact Sarah to join or for more information sarahweston@optusnet.com.au

Finance Committee

Our Finance Committee are keeping busy as the funds from a number of grants are pouring in. We would like to thank everyone involved in applying for these grants. They are a tremendous effort to pull together and we are so grateful for the wonderful opportunities they provide for our kids! Contact Natasha P to join or for more information natasha.p2008@outlook.com

Buildings and Grounds

We are excited to make great progress with our Nugal-nganjin garden near our Specialist Block. This Woi-wurrung name means 'ours' and represents that the garden will belong to the whole school community. We have to thank Aunty Gail from the Wurundjeri Tribe who has provided the name for us. You can see the plan below, if you have any skills to help us get this built please let us know by contacting Aasta through the school office or Steve Hardman, our amazing chair of the Buildings and Grounds Subcommittee. The garden will feature plants that are representative of our community, as well as a number of native plants the represent our connection to the local area. Contact Steve Hardman to join or for more information steve@lancasterconsulting.org
