General Business:

Scott’s idea for a working bee to construct a vegetable garden, P&C to provide money for mulch plants etc or to acquire a grant, to be discussed further next meeting, Requested for Mr Schofield to check teachers are agreeable to this idea.

Issue was raised about more info to be given leading up to sporting events Examples were given about Athletics Carnival, Cross Country etc , parents need to be notified earlier if possible so they can attend, and to consider when these events start and consider starting them at an earlier time. Mr Schofield acknowledged this and said he understands concerns.

Bushwahzee find out if anyone is interested in catering for the event as a fundraiser or consider handing it over as a fundraising event for year 6. Decided P&C would not be running food stall this year.

Discussion on plans for future E Beams, some discussion and agreed clarification was required on December meetings vote, and the P&C ‘s future financial commitments, it is hoped at June meeting a plan for another P&C contribution can be approved.
