P & C Update and AGM
Hello to all of the NFSS community
Welcome back properly to our kids and a happy goodbye to home schooling! A big thank you and acknowledgement to the staff and teachers for coping with, and often exceeding expectations on, the online learning platforms. It has been an intense time and we have all learned a lot.
The NFSS P&C has been somewhat on hold, like many other things, but there are some items we need to attend to and some news to update you on:
AGM & MEETINGS
The annual P&C AGM was scheduled to be in March and is now re-scheduled for
Tuesday 16 June, 6pm in the Hall.
The AGM usually runs approximately one hour.
Please note that you do not need to attend the AGM to become a member of the P&C, you just need to fill out the attached membership form – please print and leave at the office (hard copy preferred) before the AGM on Tuesday 16 June.
Also attached – agenda and previous meeting minutes
Under COVID19 guidelines we are allowed 20 people max. so please RSVP to secretary@nfsspandc.com.au. The AGM will be held in the school hall so we can maintain recommended social distancing for the meeting.
First preference given to those nominating for positions, which brings us to our next point…
ROLE VACANCY ON THE EXEC
The role of Secretary urgently needs to be filled.
This can be taken on by two people and shared – i.e. attend alternate meetings
The duties involve taking minutes, preparing the agenda, collecting the mail
Minutes do not have to be taken on computer! Can be written and typed later.
A role on the Exec is a wonderful way to get involved in the school, meet people and can even be added to an employment resume as genuine work experience. Please consider!
2020 FUNDRAISING EVENTS
All usual events are currently either cancelled or on hold.
We will miss out on Trivia, Hats & Heels etc but still crossing our fingers for the Halloween school disco and the colour run/obstathon.
Any fundraising initiatives will have to be of a different nature. As a result, we will consider all events under review at present and revisit them later.
UNIFORM SHOP
The School Locker is now our supplier for our uniform shop. The new supplier arrangements were a P&C initiative as a result of much research and evaluation.
We believe the new service will be a superior process – more efficient, improvements in quality and generally overhauled for the better.
TUCKSHOP
Our tuckshop is up and running again with a limited menu but we will keep increasing our menu over the next few weeks until everything is back to normal. Please see the school newsletter for weekly updates.
The tuckshop really needs support from the school community.
You may not be aware that the tuckshop does not make a profit and is in fact underwritten by the P&C – as what we believe to be an essential school service. The more support, the better the future prospects are. There will be more added to the menu as the term progresses – stay tuned for the hopeful return of the sushi special!
Thanks for reading this far and taking an interest in the P&C
