The final School Association meeting for the year was held on 23rd November. As ever, this was a great opportunity for all parents and school community members to raise new ideas and discuss their thoughts.  Topics discussed at this meeting included grant applications for building playground extension, family and staff working bee to re-vamp the Kinder yard, and raising funds to buy books for end of year school prizes.  Each meeting a school policy is discussed, and this meeting focused on the use of See Saw for communication between school and home.

Mr Brown presents a Principal’s Report, and at this meeting he provided feedback regarding staff changes, budgeting for 2022 and the recent parent feedback survey.  Mr. Brown is keen for ideas on how to communicate more easily with more families, and the option of having a suggestion box in the foyer was raised, as well as having each class represented within the Association. 

The fundraising subcommittee presented their report; they’ve had an extremely busy and successful year with market stalls, lunch boxes, socks, teatowels, barbecues and more.  They discussed the possibility of holding a school night market in April 2022, with stalls, music, food and drinks, and entertainment. 

The School Association is always keen to have more families attend – you can consider joining the Association committee when nominations are called in March, 2022, or just show up for the odd meeting when you’re able.  The dates of meetings are in the newsletter, or  ask at the office.  We’d love to see you.
