SKiPPS Needs your help!
Working Bee - Saturday 10th September
We will be holding our next working bee this Saturday 10th September from 8am - 12pm so come along to school and get stuck into a long list of jobs that will keep our school looking great and working safely.
We are asking all parents to give up some time on this morning for your child's school.
We will have jobs for all levels of expertise and physical fitness and our particular focus will be on the back of the school – painting the pencil fence, sanding and varnishing the playground, weeding and spreading mulch, tidying and generally keeping the school as something that we can be proud of.
Children are more than welcome to come along on the morning and it is a great chance to connect with other parents and families. We will also put on a free sausage sizzle at the end of the event to celebrate our good work.
If any families have hand sanders, paintbrushes and gardening tools to bring along on the day, that would also be a great help.
School Council Sub-committees
Our school has a number of permanent working groups called sub-committees. These groups are made up of staff members and dedicated parents who meet ten times a year with a focus to make our school a better place.
Sub-committees are open for anyone to join and rely on the energy, ideas and hard work of parents to improve the school experience for all of our students.
The groups are open for all parents to join and contribute to so feel free to come along to any of the following meetings.
