P&C News

P&C News

In this edition… 

  1. Ballinger St Parking Changes to improve child safety
  2. Colour Fun Run (23/06/2023 at 2pm) and Pie Drive (collection 16/06/2023 before 3pm)
  3. Volunteers – we simply can’t do it without you!

 

Also….

  • In Term 3, the Tuckshop will be getting a “Tune-Up”. Tuckshop experts will perform a thorough review to see where we can improve our menu, processes, and operations. The outcome will be an even better Tuckshop!
  • The P&C have committed $500k to the upgrade of the Prep and Year 1 Playgrounds. The scope of works is close to being complete, and work will hopefully commence later this year. Additional funds were committed at the last P&C meeting to upgrade the softfall from bark to rubber (which is cleaner, more durable, longer lasting, more sustainable, and cheaper in the long-term).
  • The P&C will purchase an automatic paediatric defibrillator for the school. Should the need arise, this device will potentially save a life. Hopefully, we never need it.  
  • Can you help? Volunteering opportunities available
  • P&C Contacts – Get in touch
  • Fundraising Opportunities

 

  1. Ballinger Street Parking Changes
  • The P&C, school, and Brisbane City Council have all worked together on changes to Ballinger Street parking
  • The changes are aimed at improving child safety in this area
  • Brisbane City Council will enforce these changes – as well as parking in surrounding streets – through parking inspectors
  • Please ensure you are driving and parking safely in and around the school
  1. Colour Fun Run and Pie Drive  
  • Our Colour Fun Run is next Friday afternoon. Please ensure your child has a white shirt on the day
  • Please keep fundraising for the Colour Run! There are great prizes to be won. All funds raised will go towards Prep and Y1 playground upgrades later this year
  • Pies will be available for pick-up this Friday afternoon. Please ensure all pies are collected by 3pm as we are unable to store them

 

  1. Volunteers – we simply can’t do it without you!
  • P&C activities and events need volunteers to be successful
  • Even a small amount of time (30mins) or effort can make a big difference
  • Volunteering opportunities are posted in the newsletter each fortnight and on Facebook
  • Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped in the tuckshop and at events so far this year (disco, working bee, pie drive, Mothers and Others Stall, and more!)  
  • If you would like to help, use the Volunteer Signup Links below or reach out to any of our contacts
