PRINCIPALS REPORT
Congratulations to Fundraising Committee for the outstanding success of the Trivia Night on Saturday. The involvement of Staff, Parents and community Members was great. Sponsorship was great.
Fence extended the length of oval.
School Fundraiser - Olympathon will be held shortly and I know that the Trivia night might have caused a drain on funds, but support for your children and the School would be greatly appreciated. Concert - Mr Petras organising Y2-6 & Teachers K-1.

GENERAL BUSINESS
Options for presentation items for families leaving our School whom have done a lot for the P&C -
" Cleanskin Wine with our own amusing label
" Pewter fridge magnet
" Pen with blurb printed on it
" Other - Photo Album suggested with school crest or something on cover.
Cultural exchange evenings - The meeting thought that an evening event at end of year, consisting of a Multicultural Food Stall and maybe some Carols would be good. Didn't think a separate evening just for Korean & Chinese community, without involving the rest of the school would be a good work. Will ask Mira what the next step is, re the involvement of Korean/Chinese community of School in the proposed event.
Guest Speakers - No suggestions. Mrs Hanley will speak to School Nurse about attending.
