INFORMATION
AND AN INVITATION FROM THE P&C
Did you know…
the Constitution of the Normanhurst West Public School P & C
outlines the objectives of the P & C as:
“… to promote the
interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students
and teaching staff into close cooperation:
…to assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school
and in promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the
school.”
·
the P & C has several
sub-committees. Without the P & C and its’ sub-committees
the school would not have the everyday services of Out Of School
Hours (OOSH) care, Uniform Pool, Student Banking, Training and
Concert Bands and a diamond accredited Canteen. The school
and school community also currently benefit from efforts from
several other committees such as Craft, Grounds, Building (for
the proposed Covered Outdoor Learning Area (COLA)), with the
major school fundraising activity organized by the Family Fun
Day Committee.
-
Sub Committee Office Bearers (Convenor, Secretary and Treasurer)
are only to serve in the same position for up to 3 consecutive
years. P & C Executive Office Bearers may only serve in
the same position for up to 2 consecutive years.
This allows time for new parents to participate and learn from
experienced committee members so they may feel confident in
taking over a role of Office Bearer. Planning for our
future is the key to a continuing strong and active P & C.
-
The focus of the P & C may seem to be its fundraising
activities, however, the aim of the P & C is to also provide
facilities and represent the interests of the parent community
in the school. Have you considered participating? We
want your opinion. We can only make decisions or
recommendations regarding funding or facilities and the
operation of sub committees based on the discussion or debate
presented at the P & C meetings.
Did you know if everyone thought
“someone else will go and do it” then no one will and your P & C
and its services will not survive?
