Hi Everyone
Thought we would provide some information from the August Parent Connect meeting as well as upcoming Parent Connect Meetings
Parent Connect held a general meeting in August which welcomed a number of new parents and discussed a number of issues including: planning for events in 2016; improvements to communications including the use of blogs for Parent Connect information for the Primary School; and developments with the parent representative network including meeting regularly with the Head of Primary. Discussions are also underway to create a business directory, to assist families source services from within our school community.
The Parent Connect meeting was provided with an update from the 2016 School fete support group in relation to ideas for the fete next year. We hope to provide some more information shortly. If anyone would like to volunteer to be part of this exciting school fete and join the support group please contact John Raftis on email jraftis@eftel.net.au. The group usually meet about once a month. If you have any ideas about the fete i.e. stalls or contacts please provide this information to John also.
At our next meeting on 9 September, we will be hosting the ‘Friends of Volunteers’ team to present the new ‘Friends of Volunteers’ initiative, including volunteering opportunities, a new support network and volunteering resources. Recently, the ‘Friends of the Arts’ received great interest from parents and it is hoped that similar ‘Friends of’ groups may commence with interested parents. For more information, please join us at our Parent Connect meeting, or email the ‘Friends of Volunteers’ directly at volunteers@ststephens.wa.edu.au
If you would like to get involved with Parent Connect, or would like further information on any of the above please contact us at pcduncraig@ststephens.wa.edu.au. If you wish to speak with someone please feel free to contact Rachael Anastas Secretary on 0417720447.
