As the new Parents and Friends Co-Ordinator I would like to extend a huge thank you to Julie Griffn, the outgoing Co-Ordinator for her time and commitment to the role and to all the Parents and Friends of the school who worked with Julie last year to raise significant funds for the school and host an array of events. For those of you who didn’t know me, Matthew, my partner and I have a daughter, Lily Casey, in Year 1.

Primarily the role of the P&F is to support school community through the development of a social network and to enhance our children’s learning environment through fundraising.

Julie has big shoes to fill and I certainly can’t fill them on my own. In the coming weeks, you will receive a Survey Monkey questionnaire from me asking you about how you would like to be involved in the school community. I would really appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete the survey so that I can ensure we are providing opportunities for community involvement that works for everyone in our current community.

The survey will ask questions about the amount and type of fundraising we should do, what kinds of social events best suit your family and will ask for your ideas for building relationships and partnerships within our school community.

You are welcome contact me via the P&F email address, stcathsparentsandfriends@gmail.com, find me in the playground for a chat at drop off/pick up or give me a call PH 0409 905 858.

Karen Glancy
