P&F NEWS 3 July Our Committee for 2013: P&F FUNDING

Transcription

1 Parents & Friends Association P&F NEWS 3 July 2013 The P&F AGM in April bought about some changes in our committee. Retiring from her role as President, Sharon Styman worked tirelessly for the P&F and she implemented many new systems to enable a smooth transition for new people coming into the committee. Sharon has left with many achievements and we thank her for her contribution to the school. Kathryn Charge (Assistant Treasurer) and Robyn Goldstone (General Committee and former President) retired from their positions. We thank them both for their time and effort they committed to the P&F. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new committee members Kate Rogers (Secretary), Kim Shepherd (General Committee), Meredith Russell (General Committee) and Andrew Sinclair (General Committee) Our Committee for 2013: Executive Committee President Vice President Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Secretary General Committee Joanne Dick Kim Shepherd Andrew Sinclair Meredith Russell Public Officer P&F FUNDING Tanya Boyle Robyn Butel Paul Stedman Maria Smart Kate Rogers Simone Gadd The new committee started work immediately on fine tuning our Funding Request Plan. Each year in December the teaching staff will have the opportunity to send in their funding requests to the P&F. We also encourage feedback from parents to recommend items for the list. This may be presented via to our Secretary or by attending meetings. The P&F will set their funding priority list every February. Careful consideration will be taken to make sure the requests are; for the greater good of the school and to reach as many students and teachers as possible. After receiving funding requests from the school and parents the committee will then set their funding priority list for the year and this will be available for the school community via the link on the school website. We will have this up and running for next year. Some of our larger key funding projects are due for completion in Term 2. At the Sunshine Avenue campus, we have invested funding towards the extension of the covered walkway through to the front gate. We are also providing funding towards the purchase of new lecture seating which will be installed in the new Mahers Lane campus Amphitheatre which is due for completion in September. Our Primary and Secondary school sporting teams will look very smart in the new Athletics, Soccer, Basketball and Touch Football jerseys we have provided for. The Sunshine Avenue campus hall now has a new piano purchased through our fundraising activities. The Year 12 Study Room at our Mahers Lane campus now has new desks to assist our students in the preparation for their HSC exams.

2 P&F COMMUNITY The P&F continue our commitment towards connecting our school community through many functions including the early Learning Centre morning tea and the Parent Rep morning tea. Early Learning Centre s Morning Tea in June This function has become a great annual event to bring the younger families of the school community together. Mums and Dads enjoyed a chat over a tea or coffee and some home baked goodies provided by the P&F. It is a great way for families who may be new to the school to make friends and meet the P&F committee. Mother s Day Stall Our Mother s Day Stall is a special day for not only our Mum s but also the children. They love the chance to spoil Mum and sometimes Grandma with a gift they have chosen themselves. It is a wonderful thing to see the excitement on their faces and how much thought is put into choosing a gift. Make no mistake, our children are smart shoppers and some ask a range of questions before buying their gift. Parent Rep Morning Tea Our Parent Rep morning tea is also another P&F event fostering the links within the school community and the P&F association. Many parent dinners and picnics have been successfully organised by our Parent Reps and we thank them very much for their efforts. Dates to remember: 28 June Junior School Disco FUNFEST 30 August Big Boys Breakfast 17 September Grandparents Day Morning Tea 13 September Middle School Disco 5 November Melbourne Cup Luncheon I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Grammar Parents and Friends Association for their tireless work and support, and encourage all members of our community to come along to one of our regular meetings. Tanya Boyle, President
