P&C Newsletter – Term 1, Week 5, 2023

Greetings from the P&C, term is now well underway and we hope all of the kids are settling into their new classes.

P&C MEETING AND AGM – Wednesday 8th March

Our next P&C meeting is the AGM, where we will be voting in a new Executive Committee for 2023.  If anyone would like further information on the positions available please have a look at the website, or email us at scpc.pandc@gmail.com

The AGM will be held in person at the school library, and also via zoom.  We encourage as many people as possible to come and join us at the school, it’s great to meet people face to face.  To gain voting rights for the 2023 P&C, you will need to bring a gold coin donation, or if joining virtually please donate via the uniform shop.  Ensure you add your name in the notes!

Any questions or new agenda items need to be sent through to scps.pandc@gmail.com by Friday 3rd March.  We typically don’t address new business at the meeting itself.

All welcome! Hope to see you there!

FUNDRAISING WORKSHOP

The Exec Committee will be organising a fundraising workshop to discuss any new ideas to fundraise this year.  If you have any expertise or would like to simply be involved please let us know.  Details of the meeting will be advised shortly.

YEAR 6 FUNDRAISING

The Election BBQ will be the first Year 6 Fundraiser, on the 25 March.  Please come and support the kids by voting at SCPS, grabbing a sausage sizzle and sweet treat!  We will also be running a raffle, if anyone has any prizes they could donate I would love to hear from you!  Again the email is scpc.pandc@gmail.com
