School Watch

A huge congratulation to our Security Working Group who have managed to organise BBPS School Watch.
Please support our school and community in stamping out vandalism by calling and reporting any suspicious behaviour. Help to keep our school safe and open for the Beauty Point Community to enjoy.

CONTACT NUMBERS FOR SECURITY ISSUES


If you become aware of any untoward behaviour at the school, the DET Safety and Security Unit advise calling one of the following 3 numbers, depending upon the nature of the incident:

000 for Emergencies
Fires, persons on (inside) premises and severe injuries

1300 880 021
(School Security Unit)
For Schoolwatch concerns such as unauthorised people on site, damage found, unlocked and/or open/unlocked windows and doors.
This will be the number used most often and is manned by DEC staff 24 hours a day seven (7) days a week at the DEC’s Control Room

1300 363 778
(Safety & Response Unit)
For reporting incidents of threats, actual and potential harm to persons on site.
This number is less likely to be needed, if at all. Again this number is answered by DEC staff or seconded police officers at the Safely and Security Directorate. After hours this number is diverted to a staff member rostered for those duties.

1. President’s Report
The President reported on what has been a very successful year for Beauty Point P and C. Communication both within the school and with the community has been enhanced, with the information night and the new blog. The P&C has opened up to a new younger generation of parents. There is far better integration with class parents. Attendance at P&C meetings is now the highest ever, evidenced by the turnout at this AGM. The P&C’s fundraising activities are making a very real difference to the ability of the school to deliver on its key priorities.

The President thanked all those parents who make a contribution, to the band, the uniform shop, supporting school activities.

2. Treasurer’s Annual Report
The AGM will be reconvened at the next P&C meeting to consider this report. The AGM is unable to consider this report, as the accounts have not been audited in terms of P&C constitution.

3. Election of Office Bearers
The Returning Officer thanked the outgoing President for his efforts and in particular his focus on building a culture of communication. Ms Clements thanked the Treasurer and Secretary for their efforts. She also thanked Howard Portrate for his extraordinary contribution to the school over 7 years, and who efforts have seen such developments as the smartboards, air conditioning, and improvements to the playground.

Shanti Clements called for nominations from the floor.  The following office bearers have been elected for 2013:

President:

Proposed: Ros Van Extel
Seconded: Mandy Sigaloff
