P&C Report

On Tuesday, 1 September the P&C was pleased to approve expenditure for two new items for our school; 

1. $7423 approved for new drone kits for the STEAM program. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths)  The demand for the existing drones has been fantastic and over-subscribed so these new kits will allow more access for our students.   Students use the drones to delve into modes and simulation, learn to create video footage, and apply programming and coding.  These will be a great addition to the Innovations component of the STEAM curriculum
2. $9792 approved for a range of ottomans for the Mills building. Currently students are sitting on the floor in large groups before school, during recess and lunchtime.  The space is very popular so these ottomans will provide additional availability for groups of students to interact and socialise.  They will also provide additional support for breakout classroom and collaborative discussions.”

What the P&C have supported

The P&C have supported the purchase of an Interactive Panel for Design and Technology and Science Engineering valued at $4,700.

This new interactive panel is to be used to integrate ICT into the majority of its classes for teachers and students to collaborate and to show techniques using all the Autodesk software packages, share student directed classroom activities.

GREASE - A big thank you

A big thank you to our Grease Production drinks and nibbles volunteers for a fun social event and community contribution to the school and our kids. The Grease production was superb, made even more so with the drinks and nibbles, a great way for families and school community members to mingle and catch-up.

A very special thank you to Sharon Williams, our 'organiser extraordinaire' who gave hours of her time to pull the drinks and snacks together and motivated the teams!

As you can see from the long list below it takes a lot of effort to make these activities successful - so again a big thank you to:

Phil Marshall, Lynne Greenaway, Kelley Trawinski, Brian Hubbard, Karen Phillips, Christian Caspelherr, James Willoughby, Nicola Peiris, Nasirah Hemy, Rebecca Wong, Megan Trench, David Barton, Chris Bowden, Thomas Miao, Chune Ren, Karen Phillips, Shantelle Vukojevich, Troy Vukojevich, Thu Willoughby, Peter Caulfield, Claire Mahoney, Peter Sartori, Amanda Sinclair, Alicja Judd, Sharron Falconer.

And a big shout out to the school who were tireless in their support - thank you to Thalia, Brianna and Karen and all who we worked with in preparing for the event.
