P&C CHRONICLES

Well it’s certainly been a busy time for our P&C members and volunteers.  We had an incredibly busy meeting on Monday night where we welcomed 10 new members to our P&C community.  We also welcomed a new Vice President, Paul Andrews, into our Executive.  It really is exciting to see many new members joining the P&C and attending our meetings.  We also say thank you to Bree Lloyd who has resigned from the Secretary role.  We thank Bree for her efforts as a member of the P&C Executive in 2024.  Some key discussions and updates from the meeting include:

Nature Playground Update

Members of our school community will be aware that the nature playground is currently not being used.  The P&C will be working with the Principal and school administration team to identify urgent remedial action to allow parts of the playground to be reopened as soon as possible and we will also be working towards ongoing maintenance arrangements to ensure ongoing use of this much loved part of our school grounds.

Fundraising Update

Our amazing fundraising subcommittee and other volunteers, have been incredibly busy of late.  Our Mother’s Day stall and raffle was a great success, raising $4,286.45.  I’d especially like to thank our organisers and those volunteers who ran our stall and co-ordinated the raffle: Sarah Weiss, Louise Gale, Linsey Porter, Jo Lynes, Jenny Wall, Kel Hazell, Kelda Ryan, Smitha Vinod, Madeleine Lovey and Leisa Lawson.  We also sincerely thank the many local businesses who supported our raffle and stall.

Looking forward we have some exciting activities coming up: the Colour Explosion is happening on Friday 27th June.  We hope that all of our students have a great time on the last day of term! 

And of course the FRESHIE FETE is coming!  We have moved our Fete to Friday 15th August to avoid a clash with the international cricket match happening in Cairns on our previous date.  Our committee is swinging into gear to get things moving and we will be looking for as many volunteers as we can find to help with organising and running the Fete.  We will be holding a Fete meeting at Narrow Tracks on Wednesday 25th June.  Everyone is welcome.
