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.
