25.01.2022 Before Covid fully disrupted things I was able to gather a few donations for Trivia Night. As Trivia Night looks highly unlikely this year I am attempting to make the most of the donations. We will be holding an online auction or online raffle...final decision pending as I look at what items I have. It's the only real opportunity to raise any funds this year. If you would like to donate an item to be auctioned or raffled off or know of a business who would like to get involved can you please let me know?

24.01.2022 Here is the agenda for next week's meeting.

21.01.2022 The P&C will host a family-friendly online trivia night on Sunday 13 September from 6-7pm as the online auction comes to a close. There will be a great mix of questions for parents and kids covering everything from movies and music to science and geography. We hope that many of you can join us on the night! Zoom Meeting ID: 283 508 3432... Passcode: 038089 Don't forget to visit the auction site! www.32auctions.com/HPS2020

20.01.2022 Here are a few points that I noted down from last night’s P&C meeting. Attendance has unfortunately been a bit low the last few months, I really do encourage people to join in. Meetings have been running very efferently and finishing on time! Ms Jacobsen and Ms Porter attended and gave quite a few updates. Attending means you get the full rundown and not just a few of my dot points and you have the opportunity to ask further questions which they are happy to answer. You can a...lso join in discussions about what the P&C can do to assist the school and planning for next year. These are just a few items of note: The AGM is on 24 November and will be immediately followed by a general meeting. To be eligible to vote at the general meeting you must become a member prior to then. Amanda will be sending out instructions on how to join via Flexischool and the deadline to do so soon. The lease for the current canteen provider is coming to an end so this will go to tender. The winner (whether it’s the same group or a new one) will commence term 1 next year. The P&C has a rep on the tender panel. The Year 6 end of year talent show will take place but will be via Zoom as parents are still not allowed on site. The Year 6 dinner will go ahead in some format. Covid risk assessments and planning are taking place to see if Canada Bay will be able to host again this year. No parents will be allowed and there will be some changes to ensure the event is covid safe. $2,000 was approved to go towards the event to reduce the ticket price for students. A couple of outstanding questions regarding works for the sensory garden are being finalised this week. It will then go to tender and work will be done during term 4. Remember to complete the Tell Them From Me survey! Kindy interviews are happening now via Zoom. New kindy orientation videos were made and will up on the school’s website so that families can view as many times as they like. A P&C video was created to share with new Kindy parents. It’s being finalised and will be sent to families and posted on the school website. Camps for this year will not go ahead. The P&C will be looking into bringing back the parent education/information sessions with the first one hopefully around mental health. They will take place via Zoom. Stay tuned for details. Fundraising and events were discussed. Possible ideas which meet current restrictions include a book sponsorship initiative. We are also brainstorming ideas for next year if events must remain online. Around $4500 was raised from the online auction. Members will receive an email about the upcoming Volunteer of the Year awards regarding who we would like to nominate. See more

A finalist will be chosen from each of the 16 electorates by independent judges with the ultimate winner of the title announced at the dinner.

14.01.2022 I just received an email that the Christmas tree supplier has run out of stock!!! The fundraiser organisers are quickly trying to find a second supplier. This has never happened in all the years they have running it. They think it's due to more people being home this Christmas because of Covid. I will update everyone ASAP
