16.01.2022 To our wonderful members, Our whole playgroup committee is retiring at the end of this year because of kids going off to Kindy etc. This means for Playgroup to continue next year we need new people to step up and fill these volunteer roles. It is a wonderful thing to do for your kids and your community and a good way to make friends. If you have skills in a particular area maybe you can fill a role that suits you best.... We would love to find a new treasurer soon and all the other roles starting from term 1 next year. We will list a brief description of the roles below. If you think you can help please speak to one of us committee members; Kate, Emily, Sophia, Erin, Fleur or Anna. An added bonus is committee members dont pay playgroup fees! Committee roles to be filled; President: An overseeing role and the main contact with the community and the church. Treasurer: Banking fees and keeping track of playgroup spending. Enrollments Officer: processing enrollment forms and logging the details on a playgroup WA portal. Secretary: Overseeing communications and keeping minutes at meetings. Can be combined with or separate to a social media role. Monday Session Leader: Setting up for a session. Welcoming new members. Tallying daily fees. Tidying up. Optional to organise craft or other group activities. This is a good job to share between 2 or 3 people.

16.01.2022 Due to new restrictions regarding Covid, Playgroup will be cancelled this week. Please check back for Updated posts to inform everyone of ongoing cancellations and when we will return. Thankyou and stay safe everyone!

08.01.2022 Playgroup really needs YOU! Most of our committee are moving on to new things next year and we need people to fill the positions or playgroup just can't run. Almost all positions are up for grabs. We have a session leader for a Monday but we are looking for someone to lead a session on a Wednesday or Thursday as well as a treasurer, secretary and enrollments officer and president. If you thinking about helping to make sure playgroup continues to be awesome for our kids next y...ear now is the time to put your hand up and learn the ropes from the current committee. You will be fully supported by current committee members into early next year. It is such a wonderful thing to do for your kids and the community and many hands make light work. We are all volunteers and we can work together to make sure the responsibly doesn't fall on just a few.
