Hello SPS families!
The 2022 school year has kicked off and is in full swing. This also means that the Scarborough Primary School Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) will start meeting and fundraising again.
As we are approaching the end of this year’s P&C committee, we are calling out to all the parents and caregivers of Scarborough Primary School to please consider joining the P&C in 2022.
The P&C is an association which is run by volunteers from the school community. Through voluntary contributions and fund-raising activities, the P&C enhances the facilities and learning environment of the school. It’s also a great way to connect with fellow parents and caregivers at our school and in our community.
However, the P&C needs 4 Office Bearers and 3 Committee Coordinators in order to organise the fundraisers. Without these Office Bearers and Coordinators, the P&C will cease to exist. ‘So what’ you ask? Well, without the P&C there will be no more canteen, the uniform prices will increase significantly and the cost for certain excursions and programs used by our children in the school will have to be paid for by the parents and caregivers.
All positions will be available for nomination at the AGM in 2022; so please reach out if you’re keen to get involved!
We have been advised that the following positions are being vacated:
Office Bearers
It is imperative that these roles are filled to continue as a P&C in 2022.
Committee Coordinators
We need to fill the above roles to continue to provide the invaluable services of the P&C. Each role takes about an hour per week of your time and the P&C meets once every 4-6 weeks.
Besides these positions we always love having more parents involved, as P&C members, to help come up with great fundraising ideas and implement them.
To find out more about our P&C and the available positions and to download a nomination form, please visit the school website - (http://scarboroughps.wa.edu.au/p-c/).
Any questions, please email us - scarboroughprimarypc@gmail.com
UNIFORM SHOP
The Uniform Shop is stocked so come and pay us a visit on Wednesday mornings for all your uniform requirements from 8.45am to 9.15am.

CANTEEN
We are always looking for canteen volunteers. So, if you have any Friday mornings available, Laura would love some assistance in the SPS canteen.
Email us at the P&C or speak to Laura on Fridays in the canteen if you are keen to help.
A special reminder to all Kindy group 2 parents and caregivers; you can also order lunch and recess from canteen every Friday. Don’t bother making yet another lunch; order before Friday 8.30am via Quickcliq.com.au and we will deliver it your child’s classroom.
Please also note that all canteen orders need to be placed via QuickCliq prior to 8.30am on Friday. Cash is not accepted.

We will continue to fundraise through the Containers for Change initiative. The Containers for Change bins can be found at the school entry at Hinderwell Street near the Room 9 Heritage Building. Keep on bringing those empty cans and bottles to support the P&C!
Please note that these bins are not for rubbish but for eligible empty drink containers only, thank you!
Alternatively, if you wish to donate at a refund point of your choosing you can quote our Scheme ID C10240685. If you prefer to attend a Reverse Vending Machine location please use the barcode at the top of the P&C news. This may be your preference if you have a larger donation and be rest assured that the money goes back to the P&C.

Our next Annual General Meeting will be held Monday 21st February 2022 at 6.30pm in the school library.
