The Annual General Meeting – on tonight!
We’d love to encourage all members, new and old, to attend the AGM tonight and stay for the regular meeting afterwards. Please don’t stay away because you don’t want to be voted in! The majority of positions already have nominations submitted, and no-one will be asked to do something that they don’t want to do. If no-one is nominated for a position, it will remain vacant.
Please note that you need to be a paid-up member of the P&C to nominate someone, hold a position or vote at P&C meetings, so please join (or re-join) the P&C if you haven’t already done so by purchasing a $2 membership via the Uniform Shop online store.
EASTER RAFFLE! Our online Easter Raffle is now LIVE! We are excited to be trialling an online raffle for the first time. We have some amazing prizes on offer – first prize includes a family pass to see “Pete the Sheep” in November, kindly donated by the Civic Theatre. We also have gift vouchers donated from Kotara Coles and Kmart, chocolate eggs from Bibina, and special chocolate Bilbys from the Wildlife Conservation Co. Tickets are $1 each, and may be purchased here: https://www.rafflelink.com.au/kspseaster2021.
Share the link with your local family and friends, and remember that all proceeds come back to the school to fund a new nature play and sensory garden space for all students.
The raffle will be drawn on Thursday 1 April. You can choose to give your child’s name and class for them to bring home any prizes won (if you trust that the chocolate will make it home!) or opt to pick it up from the school office.
If you have any questions or feedback about the new raffle format, please email the P&C.
Donations needed Along with prizes generously donated by businesses in our local community, we rely on the generosity of our school community to make the Easter Raffle a big success! Donations of chocolate eggs, bunnies, or other packaged Easter treats will be gratefully received, as well as Easter décor, soft toys or craft items. Please bring your donations to the school office from Monday 15 March (next week). Thank you for your support!
Canteen The BEST school canteen managed by the fantastic Mrs Fiona Best is open five days a week, but this can only happen with the help of volunteers. Your support is greatly appreciated, whether it is once a year, once a month or every week.
You can find the online roster here: Online Canteen Roster. Mrs Best is still in need of helpers to fill out the roster for this term. Each shift is from school drop off (around 8.30-8.50am) until approximately midday. Fiona will send you home with a delicious lunch as a thank you for your assistance. Please note that no children are allowed in the canteen while you are helping. Thank you so much for supporting the BEST canteen!
Uniform Shop Uniform shop orders will be filled on Friday this week (12 March) as well as next Tuesday 16 March. Don’t forget school photos are 18 March – if you need a new shirt for photos you must have your order in before 8.30am on Tuesday. Please order and pay using our online store: https://kotara-south-public-school-pc-association.square.site/. Orders received before 8.30am on Tuesday will go home with your child that day. It is important to include your child’s name and class in the “Notes to Seller” part of the online checkout so we can send the orders to your child’s class to take home with them.
In-person visits to the uniform shop are available by appointment only. Please email the P&C or the uniform shop (kspsuniforms@gmail.com) if you need to make an appointment.
Grounds and Gardens Working Bee – Sunday 14 march Our first working bee of the year will be held this Sunday 14 March (weather permitting) from 9am to 11am. We hope to see you this weekend and of course your family and friends are most welcome! Please make sure to bring a hat, gloves, water bottle and wear enclosed footwear. Please keep an eye on Facebook / Skoolbag in case we need to cancel due to the weather.
Bunnings BBQ – Sunday 21 March Thank you to everyone who has signed up to help at our Bunnings BBQ at the Kotara store on Sunday 21 March. We still need a couple volunteers to help cook and serve between 8.30am and 4.00pm. If you are able to help please fill out the online sign up form. If you can’t make it to help, call by for a sausage sandwich!
Athletics Carnival – Friday 26 March The Athletics carnival is on Friday, 26 March at Alder Park New Lambton. During the athletics carnival, the P&C runs a canteen selling sausage sandwiches, snack food items and drinks. If you are able to help during the day, we need volunteers for one hour time slots during the carnival, or to help set up / pack up. We’d like to have enough helpers available that parents are able to get away to see their children participate in the carnival. If you can help, please email the P&C or fill out the online sign up form.
Thank you for supporting KSPS P&C!
