Matters Arising
Food Paper:
Leaflet reminding of school policy on food is a good idea. Would need to be put out by Maria and a committee led by Helen.
It is suggested that the existing food policy be distributed to parents as a basis to discussion.
Andrew proposes a motion “the principal and school council review and distribute the current food policy for distribution by the P&C for review and discussion. The P and C also note that the policies are not in general widely available. Would it be possible to have printed hardcopies in a file in the office.”
Seconded by Di. Passed.
In general it is felt that school policies are not very well distributed and well known. Should be a hard copy of policies in the office and on the website.
NITS: Have put in information in the newsletter and a note.
Election of parent represenative to school council
Ali and Felicity both nominated. Felicity voted in, in a close vote.
Treasurers Report: Left until next meeting.
Presidents Report. Federal Grant has to be in by 16th March. A meeting regarding the grant was held before the AGM.
Fundraising Report. Looking to raise money for playground equipment, whiteboards, computers etc. Quote for the playground equipment was 140k.
Suggestions for the year: mothers day and fathers day stall. Tea towels, calenders, sausage sizzles, city to surf. Suggestion to add a cake stall to the sausage sizzle. Marketing of the cook book. Looking at perhaps a big event eg a walkathon, a school disco, an art show – both kids and local artists contributing art.
Small events lead to 25k, need a big event to get to 40k.
