SCHOOL COMMUNITY GROUPSSchool Community groups have traditionally had pride of place in supporting Warnbro Primary School's curriculum and facilities programs. However, the key to these groups has been the inclusive culture and connection between people that these groups have created. This tradition continues. You are invited to become a member of one or all of our friendly, energetic and supportive groups. School CouncilThe purpose of the School Council is to enable parents and members of the community to engage in activities that are in the best best interests of students and that will enhance the education provided by the school. Members of the Council include both parent and staff. Meetings of the Council are held once or twice a term on Wednesdays at 3pm in the School Conference Room. Current School Councillors are; School Principal Gordon Murdoch, Associate Principal Mrs Jacquie Millar, Staff Members Melinda Ashworth, Bobbe Regan, Frank Naarstig and Kathy Dickson, P&C Representative Debbie Jenkins, Aboriginal Parent Representative Janine Smith-Ince, Parent Representatives Felicity Behets, Tracy Woods and Michele Nugent. These positions carry over for a three-year period.
Some of the tasks the School Council undertake are to:
· Ratify the Annual School Report;
· Monitor the schools financial status;
· Advise on curriculum directions;
· Introduce and improve issues relevant to uniforms; the canteen; the number of excursions and incursions as well as contributions and charges for the school. Parents and Citizens Association
The P&C is one of the best ways to be involved in the community life of the school. As well as the main P&C Committee, several subcommittees support the school’s ability to provide “extras” for the students. There is a craft group; a canteen group; the uniform group and the parent morning coffee group. If you are interested in any of these groups please contact the P&C President , Mrs Helen Filipek on the school’s number. Some good reasons for joining the P&C include: to meet people and make new friends enhancing self esteem through meaningful work and achievements to gain information and skills to encourage parents to participate in developing the school's educational policy develop parent participation and involvement in the school be the forum for parents to discuss issues pertaining to the school and its community and for gathering opinions Promote and support communication and co-operation within the school community and to bring educational matters to the attentin of gthe wider community
If you are interested in the P&C we meet on the third Wednesday of every month in the school staffroom at 7pm. Visitors are always welcome. Our P&C Secretary Mrs Kathy Dickson can be contacted through school on 9593 2363.
