Reports
Ginnie
within 12 months we will have a master
planner from the MOE and hopefully we can move forward with the hall. We talked about the $10k
currently invested that we had earmarked for the new hall kitchen. Liz is able to source kit set kitchens
that we could put into the old hall at the moment and then move to the new
hall. We could also purchase
appliances that could be relocated once we have the new hall. This is something that we can discuss
further. If we do put new
appliances into the old hall we would have to upgrade the power supply to 3
phase.
Pool update, last pressure test found a hole
in the pipe work, going to proceed with the concreting but waiting for a date
for concreter’s to be on site.
Finish date term 3.
Jane
moved Jane seconded Letitia
We approved $150.00 for June Sutherland to
buy wheelie bins for the junior classrooms, this item was requested on the wish
list
moved Jane seconded Letitia
We also discussed the art aprons, we bought
art aprons for the junior school 2 years ago. Jane noticed that the aprons in classrooms were in a
bit of a sad state and in need of a good wash. We thought it would be a good idea to offer art aprons for
sale (parents could take them home at the end of the week and wash them). They would be sold as an optional
school uniform piece (similar to caps).
We could sell them through the Oak leaf and would be marketed towards
the junior school parents.
Action points: Liz to look at aprons for sale at K-mart
Meeting closed at
8.40pm
Next meeting 19 June @ 7pm in the school staffroom
