2019 School Parliament The election of 2019 School Parliament leaders was held yesterday. The candidates from Year 5 were democratically voted on by their peers and staff alike. The Year 5 candidates campaigned prior to the election and we were all very impressed with the standard of each candidate’s speech. There were 13 candidates and voting was close, with the 8 highest voted students receiving a 2019 Parliament position. The remaining candidates will become Shadow Ministers to assist the School Parliament in 2019. The 2019 Parliament will be announced at this Friday’s assembly.

P & C NEWS Xmas Event Tonight is the P&C’s biggest event of the year – Christmas!!! We have an amazing night planned with more food stalls, more shopping stalls and more to do than ever. Food and Stalls will kick off form 5pm with the Burning Sands entertaining the crowd. The Kids concert will commence at 7pm. Raffle The P&C would like to apologise for a miss print on the Christmas Raffle Tickets. Instead of the advertised 42 inch Kogan TV, the winner will actually get a 55 inch Kogan TV. You’ve got to be in it to win it. Canteen The P&C is thrilled to announce that Mrs Alison Cooper will be taking on the role of canteen manager in 2019. If you see Alison in the canteen over the next few weeks, she will be looking for volunteers for next year and would love to meet you. Opening days for the 2019 canteen will be confirmed when school resumes.
P&C Roles Have you considered being a part of the P&C? In 2019, several P&C roles will be open. Both the treasurer (Susie Cooper) and myself (Leanne), have reached our constitutional limit and will be moving on (though not out 😊😊). If you may be interested in taking on a more major role in the 2019 P&C, I urge you to consider finding out more about either of these roles. While sometimes this is time consuming, these roles are immensely rewarding and the P&C cannot continue to be effective without them. If you would like any information, please contact me via email or facebook.
