New executive elected

Thankyou to everyone who attended last week's AGM

the new executive committee was elected and includes:

President - Lulu Mitchell

Vice President - Julie Moffat

Secretary - Michael Texilake

Treasurer - Kathi Hillier

thank you also to our outgoing executive, particularly Betsy McCabe for remaining as a transitional President for almost a year.

The draft minutes of the AGM will be emailed out this week and a hardcopy made available at the school for ammendment.
Anyone wishing to be added to the email list please email darlo.parents@hotmail.com or darlingtonsandc@gmail.com


We are also running a BBQ and cake stall on the day of the council elections - this Saturday 13th September - at the school, and would appreciate as much help as possible staffing both. A timesheet will be available at school - please put your name and contact number in whichever hours you can work, or email the executive with your availability.


thanks and see you on the day

Student absences from school:
Due to a change in departmental regulations, all student absences must now be covered by a
note from parents/carers. If your child is absent from school, please either write a note
and hand it in to the school office, or send an email to Kerry at the school office -
kerry.l.vanslambrouck@education.nsw.gov.au.

Voluntary School Levy - NSW Government policy enables all schools to request contributions
from parents to enhance their educational and sporting programs. School contributions are
voluntary and payment is a matter for decision by parents. The voluntary school
contribution for 2008 is $100 per child for the year, and payments can be made at the
office. The P&C would like to encourage all families to make this valuable contribution
to our school.

p.s. Unfortunately I'm unable to access this site from my work email address due to firewall restrictions and so I'm guessing that some other people may not have access too.
