East Corrimal P&C Clarification of motion passed at Meeting December 8th 2009

A request was made by Principal Schofield at the May meeting for clarification of what the P&C committed itself to in regards to supporting the school in the form of funding for information and technology resources over the coming 3 years.

This followed some confusion to what the motion that was passed at our meeting December 8th 2009 actually was.

To clarify the motion that was passed on this issue was that the P&C supported the suggestion in principle, that we continue to contribute when we are financially able, towards funding for information and technology resources, but that the amount of our financial commitment would be continually assessed, and that any contributions we make in the future would be made based on what we could afford at that particular time.

Our commitment
Our commitment that was voted on and that was passed at the meeting of December 8th 2009 was that we would contribute a one off donation at a cost of $10,000 for the purchase of 3 bundles of technology for the purchase of 3 interactive whiteboards systems.

(One bundle was understood to include a computer, an interactive whiteboard and a laser ebeam).

As I moved this motion I was specific in what I asked the P&C to vote on and what commitment I asked the P&C to make, the commitment of the motion that I moved is as written above.

The P&C honoured this commitment with the presentation of a cheque for the sum of $10,000 at the schools presentation day on December 14th 2009.

It has been suggested that the confusion on what the P&C committed too at the meeting of December 8th 2009 could have been based on reading of the minutes from the meeting. In relation to this matter from P&C blog, the minutes read under the heading:

Business Arising from the Previous Meeting:
- DET Interactive classroom bundles – Vote taken and carried unanimously to go ahead and purchase 3 interactive bundles at a cost of approximately $10000.

The P&C regret that there has been any confusion on this matter.

The P&C fulfilled this commitment with the one off donation of $10,000 on December 14th 2009.

The P&C continues to be completely supportive for the funding of more information and technology resources for our school into the future and as we can afford it we will continually consider contributing when and where we can, but the amount that we contribute will be assessed based on what the P&C can afford to give at the time.

This position will ensure a financially healthy and viable East Corrimal P&C into the future.

Scott Penning P&C President.

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.
