School Community Group (SCG) Meeting Update - Copy
On Wednesday night we had a great roll up to our School Community Group Meeting.
At this meeting, we reviewed the new structure of the SCG, reviewed the events, fundraising and friend-raising from 2023 and started to plan for 2024. We also voted on three proposals including contributing $1000 to the Family Pool Night, purchasing a high-grade Dishwasher to meet new food Safety Standards in the Canteen and committing to using up to $1000 to bring in an author/illustrator for a workshop with students in creativity as proposed by one of our parents.
Full minutes can be found below.
Over the next few weeks, we will finalise Class Parents and advertise these to the community. If you haven't let your class teacher know you are interested, please do so by next week. Fiona Hayward will be the school liaison for this sub-group and Brooke Hudson and Michelle Latham will be "knowledgeable others". Both are parents who have done the role before and can help new people.
Some Fundraising/events groups have started and these groups are looking for volunteers to support this work. We have a "lead" contact for these events that the group wanted to go ahead with, but as we know many hands make light work. If you are interested in knowing more or are ready to help, please complete this google form and we will share your details with the "lead" parent for that event. Maria Wilson will be the school liaison for this sub-group and Rachel deVries and Justine Reedy will be "knowledgeable others". Both have coordinated fundraising in the past and are happy to help new people.
We have also brainstormed some ideas for parent education and are looking for anyone interested in coordinating, running or simply put forward ideas in parent education. Alfina Jackson will be the school liaison for this sub-group. We have some committee members too, however, as we have not had parents lead this before we currently do not have any "knowledgeable others".
At this stage we are considering what we should fundraise for in 2024, so we do not have a Special Projects committee yet.
If you have ideas not mentioned on the minutes below, please add your ideas by coming to a meeting or filling in the suggestion box found on our website under "Parent&Friends".
