P&C CHRONICLES
Thanks to the community for a terrific turn out at our first P&C meeting for 2025. I look forward to seeing you at the AGM on March 17th. At our meeting, we pledged to fund a range of great initiatives to support our students. The P&C members voted to donate $20,000 to the purchasing of musical instruments for our music department. Many thanks for Ms Fengler and Mr Coxon for organising this worthy project. The P&C also donated funds to send our Preps on an excursion to the Cairns Tanks to see "Pevan and Sarah in Concert". We had also pledged to fund the Year 4 cohort to attend "The Twits" however this was postponed due to the floods.
At the meeting, we discussed the pros and cons of removing the Melaleuca tree in the car park. Karryn highlighted potential hazards to children, teachers and cars parking in the vicinity of the tree. We discussed whether the school had permission to remove the tree and it has been provided. The community members voted to have the tree removed and to support school plans to mitigate the loss by planting 2 or 3 extra trees in its place. The discussion was respectful and lively, I would like to thank the members involved for taking their time to participate.
Well done to our school leaders who earned their badges today. I had the privilege of shaking hands with many young and impressive leaders. Remember, anyone can be a leader, it takes quiet strength and courage to go the distance!
Warm regards,
