P&C News
Week 8, how did this happen? Where has the year gone?
As we approach the pointy end of the year, we thank all those who have supported and lent a hand to the P&C throughout the year. We have worked hard to raise funds to support the children of our school and the parents with reduced costs for buses to events and camps, celebrating the schools 150th year of education to the community.
P & C Meeting
Next Meeting: Tuesday 07/02/2023, at 6pm in the Administration Conference Room. If you would like to add anything to the agenda or send apologies, please email secretary.calliopess@gmail.com. This will be the first meeting of the new year and we encourage parents to come along and discuss (as long as it’s in the agenda) their ideas for the new year. We welcome all parents and new members, by the way, you can be a member without taking on a role.
AGM Meeting
Will be held on the 07/03/2023, at 6pm in the Administration Conference Room. At this meeting all positions will be declared open, and a new executive voted in. We also have the opportunity to create working groups. We encourage all parents to come along and take part in this important process. If there is no executive voted in there is a long and difficult process of closing the P&C and an even harder one of starting it back up again.
Tuckshop News
We thank Miss Lisa, her trusty side kick Miss Mel, and all their amazing helpers for all their hard work this year in preparing and providing food to the children of our school. They have done an amazing job and we are grateful. However, we still need you!!! With only 2 weeks of tuckshop left Miss Lisa really would appreciate extra sets of hands, especially Friday as this is Miss Lisa’s busiest day; it is always a rush to get your child’s food ready and packed on time so an extra pair of hands would be appreciated. If you’d like to lend a hand, please contact Miss Lisa via our Facebook page or pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au
Parents are reminded that ice creams and ice blocks need to be collected from the tuckshop by the students with their paper bags. Without your help, the tuckshop will not be able to continue to run as it does.
Taste Buds Fundraiser
Taste buds are a variety of yummy spice blends, savoury salts & rubs and versatile mixes and the best part is you can order online, and they are delivered straight to your door. Remember to use the code Calliope at checkout to fundraise for your kids. Feel free to share the link with friends and family. More information on the Calliope State School P & C Facebook page or Visit https://tastebudsfundraising.com.au/?ref=Calliope
Uniform Shop
The Uniform Shop is open via appointment only; if you need to make an appointment, please email the uniform shop email address below. Otherwise, orders can be done on QKR. *Please note that orders can take up to 3 business days to fill after the day of order.* These items are then taken to the office, and the students are contacted to collect them. If you haven’t received your uniform order, please check, if it has been three days, that it’s not in your child’s school bag (we all have that one child :p ) and that it’s not in the classroom. If you have any concerns contact us via our Facebook page or email uniformshop.calliopess@gmail.com
QKR
Please remember to change your children’s class details at the start of the year on QKR so that we can ensure your child’s tuckshop and uniforms go to the right classrooms and children.
Volunteer Reminder
I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that we are volunteers, we are parents, we are employed by other organisations or companies, and that, unfortunately, although it would be amazing, we do not have endless hours in the day. Please, when contacting us be patient, be polite and be kind. We know it may be frustrating not getting a response straight away however please understand you are not being ignored, we just may be busy and will get to it as soon as possible. If you would like to help lighten the load and volunteer, please reach out we would love to have you on board.
Please don’t hesitate to stop us and say hi and ask questions.
Your P&C Team,
Tenielle, Kate, Bec & Geoff.
