(4)The Good to Grow fundraising project went well, thanks to the efforts to a small dedicated core group of volunteers –final figures not yet known

(5)The Chaplaincy dinner is on 15 October 2016 and bookings are low thus far –Jane Powell and others will increase advertising of the event. Neil Hunt noted that the funding for the chaplains at the school had remained static for a number of years, and there was discussion about increased P & C funding going forward but no definite funding agreed

(7)There was talk about reviewing the Association’s IT capabilities, as well as reviewing the Uniform’s shops business model –the IT ‘side’of the Association will be examined by the ICT committee and recommendations forthcoming

(8)It was noted that it was likely that $50 would be expended as part of the forthcoming Fathering Project presentation

(9)A brief oral report was given on the Quiz Night that raised approximately $8500 and had nearly 300 members of the school community in attendance. Jane Powell noted that several of the Association events occurred quite close in time, which resulted in the school community being deluged with advertising emails etc in quite a short space of time. Jane will attempt to program events further apart in 2017. It was noted in general discussion that there tend to the same volunteers assisting with regard to different school projects –efforts will be made by the President and others to attend the Year 6 induction nights to advertise the P & C Association’s work and attempt to interest new parents as early as possible.
