Mother's Day

This year was the first time we have run the Mothers Day stand and what a huge success it was!

Many thanks to Lisa Miller who organised the event and to all parents who contributed gifts and sent their child to school with their Gold coin.

I was told that the gold coin was spent on Ice Blocks so was very pleased to receive bath salts and a photo frame (complete with picture!) on Mothers Day!

Year 6 Shirts

A long held tradition at Beauty Point School is that year 6 children get their own 'nick-named' shirt co-funded by the P&C.

As you can see below, our current year 6 kids are VERY happy with this years shirts and have sent thanks to the P&C for co-funding them.

School Watch is 1 year old!

On May 24th, the Beauty Point School Watch programme will be one year old!

To celebrate, Richard Howes (P&C Vice President) has very generously offered to host a drinks party to mark the occasion and thank all the volunteers.   Please put Friday 9th May in your diary - more details will follow!
 
We have some new volunteers; Mandy Shen, John Ho, Angie Virtue, Kate and Chris Weymouth and Alison Bradshaw - welcome and thank you.   
 
Finally, to mark the launch and successful 1st year, I am looking to relinquish the day to day administration of the School Watch programme.   If you think you can take this on (it's really not that much!), then do please let me know.
 
Thanks, as ever, to you all for your support
Ros Van Extel

Easter Holidays

The BPPS P&C would like to wish all students and parents a very happy Easter and Anzac Holiday!

Family fun day

Family fun day today has been canceled due to the wet weather!

Please remember to bring lots of money to school tomorrow as there will be heaps of yummy cakes to buy!

Thanks to all the parents for all your hard work in organising today's event.

Don't miss family Fun Day!

Nominate Beauty Point when shopping at Richies!

Nominate Beauty Point Public School when shopping at Richies!

When shopping at Ritchies and by using a community benefit card linked to our school then Ritchies will continue to donate money back to us.

We have been involved with the Ritchies CB Program since Ritchies took over the store at Spit Junction (Mosman) and our school has already received $887.31 in donations.  

The CB cards/tags can be used at ANY Ritchies store, by staff, students and their families, grandparents, neighbours and so on. Use your card or tag every time you shop, even if you only purchase a couple of items it all adds up.

If you don’t already have a Ritchies community benefit card and would like to support our school please collect one at the registers next time you shop at a Ritchies store. All you do is nominate Beauty Point Public School, it’s that easy!

This is an easy way to raise funds for our school with no costs involved!

Mandy Sigaloff (P&C President)

Welcome to 2014!

Hello!

Welcome back, I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas break and you and your children are looking forward to a wonderful year at Beauty Point School.

A HUGE welcome to all the new families!  Whether you have a new Kindy or have joined the school with older children I am sure you will find as many new friends as your children over the next few months.

As an introduction to the school (and a reminder to us ‘old’ parents) I would like to introduce you to the P&C (Parents and Community Association), let you know how you can support the school, remind you how much fun you are going to have this year, and thank you in advance for participating, volunteering, and helping out, which makes Beauty Point the fantastic community school it is.

The BBPS (Beauty Point Public School) P&C is a very active part of school life and is established to -

·      Promote the interest of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation;

·      Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school;

·      Encourage parent and community participation in curriculum and other education issues in school;

P&C meetings are held on the 3^rd Monday of each month (school term only) with the AGM held in July, which is when new office bearers are nominated.

Everyone is welcome to attend the P&C meetings, and you are invited to pay $1 to become a member and have voting rights. The Principle gives the P&C an update on what’s happening at the school, we discuss concerns that may arise and get to vote on what the $120,000k raised last year should be spent on!

The Next P&C meeting will be held at 7pm on 17^th February in the school hall.

Now onto this years fundraising efforts. Each year is responsible for one major fund raising event, plus a stall on Fireworks Night. These are –

Kindy - Grandparents Day
Year 1 - Family Fun Day
Year 2 - Major Fundraiser
Year 3 - Mothers / Fathers Day /Easter egg hunt
Year 4 - Fireworks night
Year 5 - Athletics Carnival
Year 6 - Disco

Lauren Adlam is fundraiser coordinator and will ensure that each year has the hand over notes from the previous year. We are conscious of the time and effort required by parents to organise these events and review the timetable to ensure that fun fundraising opportunities are balanced with community events.    

Ros Van Extel  (Class Parent coordinator) has been delighted with the number of volunteers she has already received for class parents but there are still gaps and there's no such thing as too many volunteers.   Please contact Ros on rosvanextel@hotmail.com  if you'd like to volunteer or would like more information.  A big thank you to those who have already put their names forward.

Ros also organises our School Watch. This initiative to keep the school grounds open out of hours has been a great success but more volunteers are always needed.  For more information Click here.

School uniform items can be ordered from Pickles online at http://www.youruniformshop.com.au, Place your order and the uniform items will be delivered to the class room.

Kate Prior will also be opening the 2^nd hand uniform shop on Friday afternoons from week 2. If you have any uniform that you can donate to the uniform shop please drop it off then.
 

School lunches can be ordered for Mondays and Thursdays through Fleximeals website https://www.flexischools.com.au

These are delivered to the canteen and are put into class room baskets by Year 1 volunteer parents for the children to collect at Lunch time. We are looking for a Year 1 Lunch coordinator to organise the roster, plus some parents who can spare an hour at lunch time on Mondays and/or Thursdays (you don’t have to do everyone!) to hand the lunches out. Please let me know if you could help out with this.

I look forward to seeing you at school, or at the next P&C meeting.
