P&C NEWS
Hi Families
Road safety is our biggest priority this year. A meeting has been scheduled for Thursday 9th May with the relevant parties involved to discuss all concerns and upgrades relating to the parking and general road safety around the school.
Further update will be provided in next week’s newsletter.
Yesterday, the Year 2 students visited the Calliope Historical Village as part of there HaSS unit. They spent the day learning about Calliope’s history and playing olden day games like marbles and quoits. The P&C are pleased that we were able to contribute to a wonderful day of learning and fun by providing bus transportation. We look forward to hearing more stories from your excursion.
A big thank you to all our parents and volunteers who helped make 2024 Mother’s Day Stall a success. It is always so much fun helping students select gifts for their loved ones. Without the support from parents and volunteers, events like this would not be possible. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums, grandmothers, and caregivers for Sunday 12th May 2024.
Our next P&C meeting will be held next Tuesday, 14th May at 5pm in the Administration Building. Meetings are an open invitation. Being part of the P&C is a great way to find out what is happening within the school for our students.
The committee will also be seeking interested parents or community members to join a working group for fundraising. Please email pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au or direct message our Facebook page if you wish to join the working group or have any suggestions on events you would like to see the P&C host.
Please remember, you don’t have to be a member of the P&C to volunteer.
This week’s Question.
“What fundraising events should the P&C host?”
The past year there was minimal fundraising events such as discos held, this was due to volunteers’ availability. This year we are focusing on our volunteer group to host fundraising events that are fun for the students.
If you wish to have these opportunities for our students, we will need more hands to make it happen.
Please reply to our Question Time via Facebook post or email communication.calliopess@gmail.com
Our objective is to continue this great work and keep kicking goals in all areas of strategic planning, fundraising, 
school improvements and community engagement. We would genuinely love to hear from the school community with any thoughts or ideas you have on how we can all work together to keep making progress in these areas. You can contact us on communication.calliopess@gmail.com for our Communication Officer or pandc@calliopess.eq.edu.au for our Executive team.
Warm Regards
Geoff, Jason, Angela & Lisa
