The school acknowledges the tireless effort and work undertaken by our P and C committee and small group of volunteers in 2023 in the running of the canteen, uniform shop, and other fundraising ventures, all in the name of our students and school.
The P&C Annual General Meeting will be held on Friday 15 March at 9am in the P&C room (uniform shop). All positions will be declared vacant, and nominees will be taken for all committee positions. Please come along and nominate for a committee.
position or just come to see what the P&C is all about, new members are very welcome! Mums, dads, grandparents, carers, aunties and uncles are all invited to come along. There is a $1 joining fee which will be collected at the start of the meeting. “Many hands make light work”! Speaking with the current executive last week, this year may be the year our P&C stops
existing in the 36 years of BPS. I’d like to dispel the rumour that our P&C are “clicky” and are “not welcoming”. This is totally untrue and unfounded. I can honestly say I have never met a friendlier group of ladies, who work so hard for our school.
An organisation such as the P&C cannot effectively run with just 2 people running everything.
P&C AGM (continued).
If you are new to the school, it’s a great way to meet other parents and get involved in the school. People who are spreading such unfounded rumours need to turn up to the meetings rather than hiding and badmouthing the few who work so hard. I am more than happy to speak with anyone who wishes to complain, so their issues can be sorted out. It would be such a shame to have no P&C at the school. Things that would change without a P&C – no uniform shop, uniform sales would be out-sourced and costs would go up. There would be no school canteen running at all. The canteen is solely run by volunteers from our school community parents and no fundraising to raise extra funds for the school. In the past the P&C have raised funds for Art, Maths, Reading Books, Big Day Out, and Free fun days, just a few of the things their fundraising has helped the school with over many years. Please give this matter lots of consideration before the AGM on 15 March 2024.
